Protein

Protein is a fundamental component of an endurance athlete’s diet, playing a critical role in recovery, performance, and overall health. By ensuring adequate and well-timed protein intake, endurance athletes can optimize their training outcomes and support their long-term athletic goals. GOODLIFE Protein fills the gap between your healthy whole food diet and the nutrition deficiencies your body acquires from the stresses of training and racing.  GOODLIFE protein is made from a blend of the best and most bioavailable sources of these vital nutrients, beef and eggs.

• Protein from Beef- A whole-food source of protein that contains all nine essential amino acids in their complete and most digestible form, mandatory for muscle repair, hormone regulation and immune function.
• Combination of slow and fast absorbing protein- Both slow and fast-absorbing proteins are important for effective recovery, with fast-absorbing proteins providing immediate support for muscle repair and growth, and slow-absorbing proteins, like micellar casein, offering sustained muscle protection and maintenance.
• Egg Protein- Widely regarded as the most bioavailable form of complete protein and easiest to digest, making it able to rapidly support the process of repair within the body, preventing the muscle breakdown that can often occur between the end of the workout and the recovery meal.
• Repairing Muscle Damage: Endurance activities such as running, cycling, and swimming can cause muscle fibers to break down. Protein provides the necessary amino acids to repair this damage, facilitating recovery and reducing soreness.
• Preventing Muscle Loss: Adequate protein intake helps prevent the loss of lean muscle mass, which is important for maintaining performance and metabolic rate, especially during prolonged training periods.
• Gluconeogenesis: During long endurance activities, the body can convert protein into glucose via gluconeogenesis, providing an additional energy source when glycogen stores are depleted.
• Supporting Adaptations: Protein intake supports physiological adaptations to endurance training, such as increased mitochondrial density and improved oxygen utilization.
• Enhanced Recovery: Consuming protein post-workout aids in faster recovery, allowing athletes to train more effectively and frequently.
• Micronutrient Carrier: GOODLIFE Protein blend is also a source of important micronutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins, which are essential for energy metabolism and overall health.
• Sustaining Energy Levels: Protein contributes to satiety and can help sustain energy levels, reducing the likelihood of fatigue during extended physical activity.
• Dietary Balance: A balanced intake of macronutrients, including protein, supports overall health and optimal body composition, crucial for peak performance.

When consumed throughout the day, GOODLIFE protein can help you meet the high requirements endurance athletes have for performance and maintenance.  When consumed at night, the blend of slow and fast- absorbing proteins can kickstart recovery and help your body continue the process while you are sleeping.Number of Servings:30Use:After ActivityImproves:Recovery, Muscle MassDirections:
