ErgoGenix AfterMath 20 pack

AfterMath is a combination of three proprietary blends, each one designed to provide specific benefits: Anabolic Protein Blend, Insulinogenic Secretagogue Blend, and Muscle Protection Blend.

The timing of ingesting anabolic supplements, such as whey protein and leucine combinations immediately after exercise exhibits a positive protein balance (i.e. muscle hypertrophy). The combination of a protein, essential amino acid, carbohydrate drink further enhances this effect. The different types of protein in AFTERMATH’s Anabolic Protein Blend can alter the rate of absorption into the muscles for a sustained effect on recovery and repair. Leucine has also been shown to reduce muscle catabolism with ingestion and reduce central fatigue by reducing the bioavailability of tryptophan, thus enhance adaptations to training.

Spiking the body’s insulin after a workout is one of the best ways to promote muscle recovery as well as initiate the anabolic effects of insulin. When simple carbohydrates are included in a post-workout shake, they trigger a spike in insulin. First, insulin works with the increase in blood glucose (from the carbohydrates in the post-workout formula) and assists with the uptake of glucose into the muscle cell. Second, insulin suppresses the breakdown of muscle after exercise. In conjunction with protein consumption after exercise, high glycemic carbohydrates assist in decreasing muscle protein breakdown and increase the anabolic effects of whey protein,resulting in greater muscle protein synthesis.

All types of exercise promote the releases of free radicals. The utilization of oxygen during exercise increases the amount of energy that needs to be produced from the mitochondria. At the same time, free radicals are produced. Free radical production can impair metabolic processes, such as protein synthesis, membrane lipid protection, and DNA replication. After intense exercise, damage to the microstructure of the muscles needs to be repaired. In a post-workout recovery drink, antioxidants (Vitamins A & E, alpha-lipoic acid, etc.) are beneficial, as well as added branched chain amino acids to aid in recovery.

- Stimulate protein synthesis
- Replenish energy stores
- Reduce muscle damage
