PROTEINS
It’s no coincidence that they top the list of the most popular supplements. Protein is a source of many benefits for your athletic body in the making! Its most familiar form? Whey protein, better known as “Whey”.
The benefits: aid post-workout recovery, weight management and muscle mass gain, promote antibody production and immune system strengthening, and are masters at boosting your energy levels and repairing muscle tissue.
The best time to consume them: during training or as a post-workout snack.
PRO TIP
For optimal recovery, add a carbohydrate source, such as fruit, to your shake.

BCAAS
BCAAs – or branched-chain amino acids – are essential supplements for those looking to gain muscle mass! With their many virtues, these amino acids are the perfect complement to help you achieve more intense, longer and heavier workouts.
The benefits: stimulate protein synthesis and promote performance enhancement. They help build muscle while preventing loss of muscle mass, limit brain fatigue during training and speed recovery and regeneration of muscle fibers. And for the same price, they help reduce muscle soreness!
The best time to consume them: before, during or after training.
GOOD TO KNOW!
In addition to being an excellent source of amino acids, BCAAs reduce fatigue, taste delicious and contain NO calories. The ideal supplement to take to work and consume throughout the day!
03
GLUTAMINE
Glutamine is the amino acid most present in blood and muscles.
The benefits: plays a role in protein synthesis and immune protection, and contributes to the manufacture of endogenous glucosamine – which promotes cartilage and tendon repair.
The best time to consume it: after training.
