The dry nutritional composition further includes glutamine for reducing muscle stress by stimulating the immune system and for stimulating muscle cell recovery after exercise; arginine for stimulating the release of insulin within the muscle cells in order to facilitate the transport of glucose into the muscle cells during exercise and for the synthesis of glucose into glycogen; vitamin C for use as an anti-oxidant for preventing free radical formation during exercise and for protecting muscle cell integrity during exercise; and vitamin E for use as an anti-oxidant for preventing free radical formation during exercise and for protecting muscle cell integrity during exercise. Additionally, the dry nutritional composition also includes one or more electrolytes for replenishing electrolytes lost during exercise and for facilitating intestinal reabsorption of fluids, and for facilitating energy dependent processes; and an herbal compound being ciwujia for enhancing the immune system, reducing muscle stress, and decreasing heart rate during exercise. |
