Post Workout Recovery Drink: Recover Faster with HydroGenie

post workout recovery drink

Athletes enjoy a variety of benefits thanks to their rigorous exercise regimes. Along with a toned physique, regular exercise decreases risks of chronic diseases, improves mood, and keeps bones and muscles strong. But one thing you may not realize about athletes is that the level of intensity involved in their exercise can cause oxidation stress. One way you can combat oxidative stress is through the ultimate post workout recovery drink — hydrogen-enriched water.

What is Oxidation Stress?

Oxidation stress occurs when free radicals attack the body.

Free radicals are unstable atoms that contain an unpaired valence electron. A certain amount of free radicals can be managed by healthy cells. However, too many free radicals in the body can lead to maladaptive symptoms.

For athletes, oxidation stress often manifests as muscle soreness, fatigue, inflammation, and injury. Consuming molecular hydrogen using the HydroGenie can eliminate the effects of oxidative stress.

Molecular hydrogen (H2) is a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals. It does this by donating one hydrogen atom to the free radical, turning them into harmless water.

What Does the Research Show?

According to a study published in Medical Gas Researchdrinking hydrogen-rich water as a can significantly reduce muscle fatigue in athletes. The double-blind study involved male soccer players, divided into two groups. One group consumed hydrogen-rich water while the other group consumed plain water.

Blood tests revealed that the group that consumed the hydrogen-rich water before exercising experienced a reduction in blood lactate levels.

Moreover, those who consumed hydrogen-rich water experienced improvements in exercise-induced muscle decline.

Another study published in Science & Sports found that consuming hydrogen-rich water can safely prevent athletes from developing acidosis.

Lactic acidosis is a metabolic disease that occurs when a buildup of lactate causes too much acidity in the body. Lactic acidosis can be fatal if left untreated. Intense physical exercise is one of the many causes of lactic acidosis. Thus, athletes must keep their safety in mind when engaging in rigorous workouts. Staying hydrated by drinking hydrogen-rich water before exercise or as a post workout recovery drink, is a great choice when it comes to working out safely and effectively.

Hydration = A Healthy, Happy Workout

With the HydroGenie, there are three different ways to consume molecular hydrogen:

  • Drinking hydrogen-rich water before exercise or as a post workout recovery drink
  • Inhaling molecular hydrogen using a nasal cannula
  • Direct application of molecular hydrogen using an application cup or mask

For athletes, using the HydroGenie to consume hydrogen-rich water is a preferable method to gear up for a strenuous workout or as a post workout recovery drink because of the added benefit of hydration. Staying hydrated is essential for every system in the body. With hydrogen-rich water, you stave off the risk of becoming dehydrated during workouts and molecular hydrogen is available in the fingertips in as little as 30 seconds.
