Synchro Nutritionals: 2011

Synchro Genesis
. optimimal recovery nutrition for athletes .

Athletes, particularly endurance athletes, put extreme demands on their bodies in the process of training and competing. For these athletes, nutrition can be the difference between an average season and one in which personal goals are surpassed and new levels of performance are realized.
Synchro Genesis was developed over the course of a few years by Synchro Nutritionals founder, Graham Ryan, while he was competing as an elite-level cyclist. Believing steadfastly in the potential for a whole-food, plant-based diet to produce higher levels of performance than the traditional athlete's diet (meat, processed foods and designer supplements), Graham set out to create the best performance nutrition product available. After some experimentation, it became clear that superfoods were going to be the "game changer" so-to-speak. As the formula was perfected, he saw big improvements in training intensity and recovery time and as a result; gains in performance as well. Since then countless athletes of all levels in several disciplines have seen similar improvements.

Unquestionably the most critical element of an athlete's diet is the nutrition consumed pre- and post-workout, the latter of which is referred to as recovery nutrition. Here's why Synchro Genesis delivers the body exactly what it needs in the period of recovery better than any other product on the market:

Synchro Protein Blend. Yellow pea protein and raw hemp protein both have complete amino acid profiles, and the unique blend in Synchro Genesis was designed to deliver the exact relative levels of the aminos needed by recovering muscles.
Yellow pea protein is highly bio-available and digested very quickly making aminos available to recovering muscles in the critical 45-60 minute period immediately following a workout when muscle repair metabolism is most active.
Raw hemp protein digests a bit slower, so Synchro Genesis continues to deliver needed aminos beyond this initial period as muscles continue to re-build.

On top of this, the superfoods in Synchro Genesis facilitate recovery in ways that no other product on the market can offer. If you're looking to take your training and performance to a new level without the use of potentially toxic and dangerous designer supplements, superfoods are absolutely where your focus needs to be.

Raw maca supports the endocrine system (hormone levels) typically taxed by intense training. Raw maca is excellent preceding a workout as well as it is generally associated with increased stamina and greater feelings of strength. Your training intensity will increase with the addition of raw maca.
Raw cacao stimulates bloodflow to the muscles, assisting the clearing of lactic acid and the delivery of nutrients during and after a workout. This bloodflow stimulation also allows for more efficient delivery of oxygen, helping you to increase your workout duration and intensity.
Acai delivers exceptional levels of antioxidants, mitigating oxidative damage (by lactic acid) to the muscles during training.
The Synchro greens blend is specifically formulated to deliver a wide array of micronutrients that powerfully support metabolism in intense periods of exertion.

Also critical for recovery in endurance athletes is having whatever you consume post-workout be around a 3.5:1 carb to protein ratio. This ratio has been recognized in recent research as being ideal for replenishing glycogen stores in muscles and rebuilding lean muscle. Using the recipe below is a simple way to get very close to this ratio using Synchro Genesis.
