First Endurance Ultragen

After a hard training or race day, your body is under stress: glycogen stores are depleted, cortisol levels are high and essential vitamins and minerals are drained from your system.

Focusing on proper post-workout nutrition can help combat these effects and maximize recovery so you can be ready to go for your next day of training or racing. Getting in protein, carbohydrates, and electrolytes within 30-60 minutes after a hard session is key for speeding up recovery.

Why Ultragen?

Immediately after exercise hormone levels are at an optimal concentration and you have an increase in blood flow, creating the perfect storm for optimal nutrient absorption. That’s where First Endurance Ultragen comes in!

The Ultragen mix is designed to deliver the right nutrients to the right place at the right time to help you recover much faster and give you an edge over the competition. It includes:

• 20 grams of high quality protein to rebuild muscles
• 6 grams of glutamine to help with glycogen synthesis
• 4.5 grams of BCAA’s to help decrease muscle damage, speed up recovery, and reduce fatigue. 

This recovery drink mix combines essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients in the perfect concentrations to enhance absorption and utilization and start the recovery process quickly. Ultragen comes in three flavors and we’re partial to the cappuccino flavor because there is nothing like a cappuccino after a long hard training day...and if it can help you recover and bounce back then even better.

How to use Ultragen: 

Want to maximize recovery after a hard session? So do we! That’s why we recommend mixing two scoops with 12 oz. of water and drinking it immediately after a hard race or training session. This is when you'll want to capitalize on Ultragen.
