Supplements for sports recovery: the guide
Performance isn't only decided in training: it's also built during recovery. Recovering well reduces soreness, prevents injury and lets you progress. An overview of the genuinely useful supplements, without the marketing.
The basics: sleep and diet
Before any supplement, two pillars: sleep, where most muscle repair happens, and a diet providing enough protein and carbs. No supplement compensates for nights that are too short.
Protein
It provides the amino acids needed for muscle rebuilding. Ideally, spread your intake across the day. Whey or plant proteins are practical options around exercise.
Magnesium
Involved in muscle and nerve function, magnesium is often deficient in athletes. It helps reduce fatigue and cramps, and supports restorative sleep.
Cordyceps
An endurance adaptogenic mushroom, Cordyceps supports oxygenation and vitality. You'll find it, with Maca and ginseng, in our POWER gummies, handy to keep in your gym bag.
Collagen
For joints and tendons under strain, collagen is an ally. Our MushGlow powder contains it, combined with antioxidant Chaga.
Where to start?
First secure sleep and protein, then supplement according to your needs. Discover the Performance & Vitality collection or take the BIEN quiz.
