Pwrhouse Energy Fruit Gummy Bars – Orange

For elite athletes, recovery is not a pause in training, but preparation for the next peak performance. High-quality protein helps your body recover and build strength.

Our recovery products such as protein powder, protein pancakes, and protein bars deliver fast-digesting, high-quality proteins with an optimal amino acid profile, including sufficient leucine for maximum muscle protein synthesis. Due to rapid digestion and absorption, the performance-enhancing window after exercise can be fully utilized. Smart athletes take these products to use breaks to make progress. 

Best protein for muscle recovery

Protein intake after exercise supports muscle repair, reduces soreness, and helps prevent overtraining. To enhance recovery, the best strategy is to blend the functionality of different protein sources. Whey proteins act quickly, while casein and egg proteins provide sustained amino acid release for longer recovery. Balanced blends ensure both immediate repair and long-term adaptation, so you return stronger to your next session.

Amino Acids & Recovery

Proteins are made of amino acids, which are the building blocks your body uses to repair and build muscle tissue after exercise. Without enough amino acids, recovery is slower and adaptations from training are limited.

Why Leucine Matters

Among all amino acids, leucine is especially important because it acts as a “trigger” for muscle protein synthesis (the process of building new muscle). Research shows that a sufficient leucine dose (around 2–3 g) after training maximizes the recovery signal to muscles.

Why Vegan Amino Acids

Vegan amino acids are produced through fermentation (e.g., from plants or microorganisms) and are chemically identical to those from animal sources. They are:

• 100% pure and easily digestible
• Suitable for all athletes, including vegans and vegetarians
• Sustainable, with lower environmental impact

In short: amino acids are essential for recovery, leucine is the key activator, and vegan amino acids make these benefits accessible and sustainable for everyone.

Our vegan sports nutrition is made with a clean, sustainable protein called Vertis™ CanolaPRO®. This unique plant protein is gluten-free, soy-free, and has a protein quality score (PDCAAS) that equals whey protein. It’s simply the gold standard in sports nutrition, with a much smaller environmental footprint and no major allergens.
