2 Science-Backed Formulas for Active Lifestyles*
One in four Americans sits for more than 8 hours a day – and four in 10 are physically inactive, but an active lifestyle benefits both mind and body, especially as we age.
In addition to cardiovascular health, regular exercise can promote a balanced mood, improve sleep, reduce the risks for chronic diseases and lengthen one’s life span. It impacts the body down to a sub-cellular level, far beyond metrics like body weight or vital signs.
Dealing with Post-Workout Soreness
Muscle soreness and discomfort are common after exercise, especially for those who are new to working out or returning after a hiatus. This delayed-onset muscle soreness, called DOMS, can last for two to four days. It leads uncomfortable and stiff muscles that are not serious but may deter individuals from continuing to move their bodies.
While athletes may experience DOMS as well as muscle strains induced by exercise, the muscle and joint discomfort that deconditioned individuals experience may be the result of free radical damage and oxidative stress.
No matter the reason, there are two formulas we can turn to for support in the presence of physiological stress.*
2 Science-Backed Formulas for Active Lifestyles*
Enzymes and bioflavonoids can help with occasional muscle soreness and discomfort.* Proteases are responsible for protein degradation. This gives them the ability to digest the proteins that build up as cellular debris due to oxidative damage. Over time, that cellular debris can lead to occasional muscle and joint discomfort. These enzymes can be paired with antioxidant enzymes such as catalase and the bioflavonoid rutin, which has traditionally been used to help maintain the integrity of blood vessels and promote healthy circulation.*
With high-potency nattokinase and serrapeptase, plus the phytochemical rutin, MyoMend™ is an advanced blend of proteolytic enzymes to support physical recovery, including joint and muscle function.* Each targeted-delivery capsule helps break down damaged proteins to speed recovery and promote flexibility and mobility.*
Magnesium Motion from Enzymedica offers support for daily aches, muscles and bones, with three forms of magnesium that are highly bioavailable.* ATA Mg® paired with magnesium malate and magnesium glycinate work to support the body and the mind.* This synergistic trio soothes everyday soreness and promotes healthy muscle function and recovery – while also supporting healthy bones and cardiovascular function.*
The ATA Mg® in Magnesium Motion is different from other magnesium taurinate products. ATA Mg® is a patented form of magnesium acetyl taurinate that’s been clinically proven to cross the blood brain barrier; offering support for resistance to physical and emotional stress.* It is uniquely lipophilic, or having the ability to combine with or absorb into fats or lipids. Since many cell membranes are made of phospholipids, this allows ATA Mg® to better penetrate cells – especially those in the central nervous system.
Magnesium glycinate is well known to support restful sleep, the nervous system, healthy bones and heart function.* Magnesium malate soothes daily aches and promotes healthy muscle function and recovery.*
The amino acid Taurine plays critical biological roles such as in keeping healthy brain function, essential for normal skeletal muscle function, and acts on neuromodulation and relaxation.* Taurine is also a powerful antioxidant, reducing free radicals produced in the brain. ATA Mg is the combination of magnesium and Taurine in an acetylated form, and has been proven to absorb 24% faster than other popular forms of magnesium.
