TRAINING TIPS FROM OUR PARTNERS

reGen™ is the Official Muscle Recovery Beverage of the Baltimore Running Festival. After you work out, your body needs to replace carbohydrates and protein, and the right ratio is key. reGen’s™ unique blend combines natural cocoa’s antioxidant power with a 3:1 carb-to-protein ratio. Research shows that this ratio helps reduce muscle breakdown that occurs with intense exercise, aiding muscle recovery and reducing soreness.

Developed and produced by Apure Foods Company, the reGen™ beverage features natural cocoa as one of the key functional ingredients. Most cocoa beverages contain alkalized cocoa that has been stripped of most antioxidant properties during processing. However, the cocoa in the reGen™ beverage is all natural and contains more antioxidant power than many superfruits, including two cups of blueberries or eight cups of green tea.

The reGen™ beverage has been clinically shown to provide a 9.7 percent average increase in endurance, enabling athletes to train harder and longer. It should be consumed within one hour post-exercise (preferably 30 minutes) to have its greatest impact on muscle recovery.

The reGen™ beverage is a food product, NOT a supplement. It is convenient to carry and there is no refrigeration necessary. It has an 18-month shelf life and can be consumed at room temperature or chilled based on taste preferences, but the element most important to its effectiveness is timing.
