5th Quarter Fresh

As an athlete, you are always looking for the edge you need to be better than the competition.  That’s why you workout as hard as you do.  You are striving to make yourself better- mentally and physically.  .  But for that workout to yield the maximum benefits, you need to recover.  Recovery means taking in the nutrients your body needs to replenish, repair and rehydrate so it can heal and grow stronger and be ready for the next challenge.

If you aren’t recovering after your workouts, why not?  Strenuous exercise is meant to deplete and exhaust your body.  Muscles undergo micro tears and essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium are lost.  In order to get the maximum benefit from the workout, your body needs to start repairing itself immediately.  By two hours after exercise, the body gives up on adding new muscle and begins to breakdown existing muscle to make the repairs that are needed.  In short, if you are not providing proper recovery nutrition immediately post-workout, you are wasting much of the potential gain from the workout!

By now you know you need to do something- but there are so many products, how do you decide?  Remember that your body is a temple.  You need to give it the best nutrition if you want it to perform at its best.  That’s why you eat fresh whole foods and avoid processed foods.  So why would you use a recovery product made from synthesized chemicals or proteins heated to ultra high temperatures? You need recovery that you can trust to be natural and effective.  You need 5th Quarter Fresh!

5th Quarter Fresh is a fat-free high quality chocolate milk that naturally provides 20 grams of fresh protein. Our natural balance of protein features both fast absorbed protein and sustained release protein.  That means that your muscles get all the essential amino acids they need for quick muscle repair and a continual supply over several hours to build new muscle fibers.  The proteins in 5th Quarter Fresh are rich in branch chain amino acids that cause a positive nitrogen balance in the muscles cells igniting protein synthesis and muscle growth.  The proteins are fresh which means that they are pasteurized at low temperatures assuring you that all of their amino acids are available. 

5th Quarter Fresh utilizes natural sugars like sucrose and lactose to replenish muscle glycogen stores.  Sucrose (natural cane sugar) is a rapidly absorbed carbohydrate that quickly begins to restore the glycogen stores that are depleted during a workout.  These glycogen stores are critical to the muscles’ ability to power the repair and synthesis of muscle fibers.  Lactose is the naturally occurring sugar in milk and is a slower digesting carbohydrate that extends the availability of glucose to the muscles and also plays a key role in the passive absorption of calcium.

5th Quarter Fresh provides 700 mg of calcium in a single serving- 40% more than traditional chocolate milk.  This calcium is naturally well absorbed and this is enhanced by the presence of lactose.  The result is unparalleled uptake of calcium.  Calcium is critical for optimal muscle function as well as strong bones, proper nerve impulse transmission, and normal blood clotting.

5th Quarter Fresh is great, natural way to recover from a workout or to hold off your hunger until your next meal.  You don’t have to worry about taking too much or not mixing it right.  All you have to do is grab it out of the cooler and go.  Its nutrition that you can trust because you know what it is.  And the fact that 5th Quarter is fresh means that it’s always going to taste great!
