Electrolyte mix for post-hiking recovery?
Electrolyte mix for post-hiking recovery?
There was some discussion of this on Reddit, more than once, but I don’t want to log in there to dig up discussions, so…
Can anyone here recommend an electrolyte mix or tablet that you’ve used to better assist muscle recovery after intense activity? For me it’s usually hiking, and I do get pretty intense muscle soreness for a day or two after.
this may get downvoted (and I understand) but...
I tend to perfom 1 to 2 hour intense activity best while (mostly) fasted. so, if fasted, about 15 minutes before something strenuous, its BCAAs with an electrolyte blend of sodium citrate, potassium chloride, sodium chloride. extra party bonus if it contains L-Citrulline Malate.
edit: specific to your question, I find that the BCAAs and Citrulline Malate help with muscle fatigue and after stress recovery and electrolytes are what plants crave.
