Why Muscle Recovery Mix?

Rich in ProteinIron Recovery Blend

How to Consume

•Ideal 30–60 minutes post-workout while muscle protein synthesis window is open
•Pair with a whole protein source (eggs, paneer, legumes) to complete the amino acid profile for maximum muscle repair
•The mild, nutty flavour of sunflower + earthy amaranth works well in post-workout smoothies or salad bowls
•30 g serving gives a meaningful zinc and iron dose without excessive calories
•Add lemon juice to further enhance the iron bioavailability from the amaranth component

The Synergy

Sunflower's complete amino acid profile + highest zinc of all tested microgreens combines with amaranth's exceptional iron, Vitamin K, and Vitamin C for a comprehensive post-workout recovery blend covering protein synthesis, oxygen transport, and antioxidant defence.

Sunflower Vitamin C + Amaranth Iron

The Vitamin C in both varieties (especially amaranth's ~51 mg) dramatically enhances absorption of non-heme iron from the amaranth component — up to 3× improvement in bioavailability. This combination specifically addresses the oxygen delivery aspect of recovery.

Sunflower Zinc + Amaranth Magnesium + Vitamin B6

Zinc + Magnesium together (a combination marketed as ZMA in sports nutrition) is well-researched for improving sleep quality and testosterone levels — both critical for muscle protein synthesis during recovery.

Sunflower protein + Amaranth iron

Protein provides the building blocks; iron ensures the blood can deliver oxygen for aerobic recovery metabolism. Together they address the two primary limiting factors in post-workout recovery.

Key Nutrients

Complete Protein + 8/9 Essential Amino AcidsSunflower

Provides the structural building blocks for muscle protein synthesis post-workout

Zinc (0.96 mg) + Magnesium (60–87 mg)Sunflower

Zinc is essential for testosterone production, wound healing, and immune defence — all critical for recovery. Magnesium supports 300+ enzymatic reactions and improves sleep quality (both key for muscle repair).

Vitamin E (~38 mg) — 253% DVSunflower

Major fat-soluble antioxidant that protects muscle cell membranes from exercise-induced oxidative damage. Reduces DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) by scavenging reactive oxygen species generated during training.

Iron (~1.3 mg) + Folate (~85–100 µg)Green Amaranth

Iron is the core component of haemoglobin — adequate iron restores oxygen-carrying capacity depleted during heavy training. Folate supports red blood cell production.

Vitamin K (very high)Green Amaranth

Supports bone health and may play a role in insulin sensitivity and muscle protein metabolism

Vitamin C (~51 mg from amaranth)Green Amaranth

Collagen synthesis (tendon and ligament repair); antioxidant defence; enhances iron absorption from the blend

Betaxanthins (yellow betalain pigments)Green Amaranth

Anti-inflammatory antioxidants that reduce exercise-induced oxidative stress and support liver detox of metabolic by-products

Quick Stats

•Zinc: 0.96 mg/100 g (highest of 6 tested microgreens — sunflower)
•Iron: ~1.3–1.5 mg/100 g from amaranth component
•Vitamin C: ~70–80 mg combined — enhances iron absorption 3×
•Complete plant protein: 8/9 essential amino acids from sunflower
