Overtraining Recovery
Resolving systemic overtraining.
Ranked by evidence strength across reported benefits.
Creatine Monohydrate
The most-studied and effective ergogenic aid — replenishes ATP via the phosphocreatine system.
L-Glutamine
Most abundant amino acid; primary fuel for enterocytes and immune cells.
HMB (β-Hydroxy-β-Methylbutyrate)
Leucine metabolite — anti-catabolic, useful for cutting phases and untrained populations.
BCAAs
Branched-chain amino acids — leucine is the primary mTOR signal for muscle protein synthesis.
HMB
Leucine metabolite reducing muscle protein breakdown, useful in untrained/elderly populations.
MSM
Organic sulfur source studied for joint pain and exercise recovery.
Ipamorelin
Selective GH secretagogue researched for muscle and recovery; not FDA approved.
Casein Protein
Slow-digesting milk protein providing sustained amino acid release, popular pre-sleep.
EAAs (Essential Amino Acids)
All 9 essential amino acids; superior to BCAAs alone for MPS.
BPC-157
Research peptide derived from gastric protein, studied for tendon and gut healing.
TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4)
Synthetic thymosin β-4 fragment researched for tissue repair; not approved.
