To avoid further muscle breakdown, it's best to consume a source of easily digestible carbohydrates and high-quality protein powder post-workout. Preferably something low in fat because fat can slow digestion.
Whey protein, in particular, is best-consumed post-workout to fuel your muscle recovery. BCAA or amino shakes are also a spectacular way to begin to boost protein synthesis and reduce muscle breakdown. Glutamine is also a solid choice since it will keep you from getting ill and also aid in the recovery process. ProSupps is the obvious choice for post-workout supplements that leave you feeling fresh and ready to take on the world day after day.
