RECOVERY SUPPLEMENTS

So you breathe in more oxygen than the average person and therefore you generate more free radicals. Increase your intake of fresh seasonal foods and include a powerful antioxidant supplement on a daily basis. Take Herbalife antioxidants which  help to reduce muscle cell damage by removing lactic acid from muscles more quickly and neutralising free radicals. The benefits are reduced recovery times (average person takes 48-72 hrs to recover from exercise!!), and an increased immune system. Excessive free radical activity prematurely ages the body, so as an athlete ensure that you are get enough antioxidants in your diet. New Hydrate - provides antioxidant protection to help protect the body against free radical damage and boost immunity during and after physical exercise.
