Post-Workout Protein
Protein Calculator
Protein ingested soon after exercise provides the amino acids needed to repair and rebuild muscle, with research supporting a serving of around 0.25–0.4 g per kg of body weight to maximise muscle protein synthesis (Moore et al, 2009; Jäger et al, 2017).
Combining protein with carbohydrate in the post-exercise window also accelerates muscle glycogen replenishment, helping you recover faster between sessions (Kerksick et al, 2017).

How to Take Protein for Maximum Recovery
- Take your serving within 30 minutes of finishing exercise, when your muscles are most receptive to nutrients (Kerksick et al, 2017).
- Aim for 0.25–0.4 g of protein per kg of body weight per serving to maximise muscle protein synthesis (Moore et al, 2009).
- Pair protein with carbohydrate after hard sessions to accelerate muscle glycogen replenishment (Kerksick et al, 2017).
- Mix Rapid Recovery with 400ml of water or milk in a shaker for the smoothest, easiest-to-digest result.
- Spread protein across the day in servings every 3–4 hours, and follow up with a balanced meal within 2–3 hours of training (Jäger et al, 2017).
