Muscle growth and other changes resulting from exercise don’t occur during the workout itself, but rather during the recovery period between sessions. Exercise serves as the stressor that stimulates the body to adapt during rest. Sleep is crucial for rest and recovery in sports performance. Athletes who lack sufficient sleep may see reductions in aerobic endurance and subtle shifts in hormone levels, potentially increasing cortisol (a stress hormone) and decreasing human growth hormone, crucial for tissue repair. There are multiple supplements that can aid you in making the most out of your recovery periods.

Oselan
Electrolytes are naturally occurring salts in our body fluids. When we sweat, we lose electrolytes in the sweat. If they are removed too quickly, our body does not have the ability to restore them as quickly as they are lost. Reintroducing them into our bodies prevents dehydration. Therefore, the use of Oselan in your sports/vitality drinks, or its integration in sticks to be diluted in an existing drink, is perfectly adapted to this health topic. Oselan is a concentrate of marine minerals particularly rich in magnesium and containing no less than 22 minerals and trace elements.
