Hiking, running, swimming or strength training - what do you like to do in your free time? If it weren't for those annoying and painful sore muscles, tiredness and tension afterwards.

Is there no way to recover more quickly from training?

Yes, they do exist! With MSM.

A revolutionary fast recovery after sport - thanks to MSM!

According to current research, MSM not only helps people with joint diseases (such as osteoarthritis), but also all amateur and competitive athletes. Among other things, MSM relieves pain and inflammation and reduces swelling in the joints.

Who hasn't experienced the typical discomfort after training?

  • recurring tension
  • Sore muscles
  • Stiff & aching joints
  • Tiredness 

In order to continue training, a break must first be taken after such symptoms. But what if you could significantly shorten the recovery time after exercise?

This is how MSM:

  1. protect the muscles and regenerate muscle damage
  2. promote recovery after sport

What does the study say?

The effect of MSM on exercise-induced muscle damage was investigated in a 10-day study. Blood samples were taken after a 14 km run. The result was that even 10 days of supplementation led to a reduction in muscle damage and improved antioxidant capacity.

In another study, in which the test subjects took either 1.5 g or 3 g for 30 days, it was found that the markers of training recovery improved, particularly at higher doses. For the measurement, 18 sets of knee exercises were performed at the beginning and 18 sets at the end and the values were recorded. With MSM, the resulting muscle soreness was reduced more quickly and recovery from fatigue was better.

➤ Joint pain is the most common cause of pain in the body!

3 more tips for less discomfort after exercise:

  1. Magnesium: The mineral is very popular with athletes, for example to prevent muscle cramps and get rid of fatigue.
  2. Eat a balanced and healthy diet. If possible, avoid animal products, convenience foods and sugar. Instead, eat good fats and high-quality proteins.
  3. Exercise regularly, but don't overdo it with the individual sessions. It's better to do it more often, but with less strain on your joints. Proper stretching is also important.

Conclusion:

Sore muscles, aching joints and tiredness after training are nothing unusual for many people. According to recent studies, however, you can shorten the duration of these symptoms and start the day feeling invigorated again more quickly.

Try it out for yourself!
