For an athlete, it is a post-workout supplement that helps in the complete recovery of muscles after a great competition. An athlete can consume it but depend on their protein requirement and training schedule. For a strength or endurance athlete 2 sachets of Power Protein is recommended per day as they have increased nutritional requirements. 

Power Protein should be consumed post-workout for complete muscle recovery. It helps the muscle to repair and strengthen from all the damage caused by the extensive training. Strength athletes can add Power Protein to their daily diet to meet the high-intensity workout requirement as it helps to improve muscle mass and take care of the wear and tear of muscles. 

Endurance athletes can add Power Protein to their daily diet as it is a great blend of slow and fast releasing proteins for prolonged training that leads to depletion of stored energy in the form of glycogen, it leads the body to target lipids, then amino acids for energy thus Power Protein helps the body regain the exhausted muscle mass with the help of slow and fast releasing protein over a long period of time. 

Endurance athletes usually focus on a carb-rich diet, but research has shown that adequate protein consumption helps to enhance and boost athletic performance. As a lot of high volume training is involved the protein intake helps speed up the recovery process and takes care of the wear & tear after intense training sessions. Endurance sports are very demanding in terms of stamina and strength. Thus endurance athletes need a protein supplement to meet their increased needs. Steadfast Nutrition Power Protein is specially formulated and designed to provide all the essential amino acids for immediate muscle recovery. It also ensures the delivery of amino acids for a longer period in the athlete's body.

Power Protein helps to improve the athletic performance of an endurance athlete. Strong immunity is very important for endurance athletes as their sport involves exposure to a lot of different weather conditions. Power Protein is rich in electrolytes like sodium, potassium, calcium, chlorine and phosphorus. Sodium, potassium and chloride help support the fluid balance along with the blood pressure of an endurance athlete. Phosphorus and calcium help prevent bone loss and keep up bone density. 

A complete recovery solution involves physical along with mental recovery from stress as well. So the cocoa powder present in Power Protein has mood-elevating properties that help reduce anxiety levels and stress. In conclusion, Power Protein is a complete and perfect recovery solution for any sports activity.

Each sachet of power protein provides 150.8kcal, and it can be consumed with water any time of the day but should be consumed preferably after your ride. Just mix one sachet with 300 ml of water. The electrolytes enhance our muscle strength and prevent muscle cramping thereby help maintain the electrolytic functions and the water balance of our body.
