Muscle recovery

I doubt many do as everyone just gets on with it but is there anyone on here that takes a muscle recovery supplement to recover faster? Was thinking of taking bcaa again as that was great for after the gym and at the minute my legs are hurt every day

Any protein based food has BCAAs in but it’s still worth having extra.
I have a protein shake and I notice the difference massively when I run out.

Thank you, I’ve tried bcaa’s before and they were great for helping me recover meanwhile making me feel more energetic so I’ve ordered some more cause this weather just zaps the energy out of me

Are you drinking enough water as well?

HMB and creatine are excellent, chuck a scoop of each in a protein shake after your shift, get them all from myprotein.com this code: QBN3T-OZEB-50J1 will get you 35% off but is only valid until tonight (theres usually new codes every other day)

Also Take a vit c supp (i get the berry flavour ones from sainsbury's for a quid)

I tend to drink 1-1.5 litres on a walk maybe I need 2? I don’t really feel thirsty because I drink periodically

Might try if the bcaa stops helping so thank you

It's crazy that people are having to resort to these measures of taking various supplements to try and help their bodies recover from this job, it's the kind of thing athletes might have to do to recover from high intensity competing or training... but I suspect the rewards they get for putting their bodies through so much pain and abuse are a lot better than around £11 ph!

And do it for 52 or more years!

My body is pretty weak which isn’t great and this weather isn’t helping and also money isn’t a problem cause it’s cheap so if this helps me have some more energy (I’m only a month into the job) then great because at the minute I’m aching and tired 24/7. And no way am I going back to my old job

You don't have to justify it, I wasn't criticising you, just saying that no job should leave people in actual physical pain at the end of their working day and needing supplements or even medication to recover from it!
