It’s natural to want to get fitter faster.     That’s pretty much why we spend evenings sweating at the gym instead of hanging out with friends, right?  

But while it’s good to have fitness goals, your muscles need to heal and repair after going through all that stress – and not letting them do so can result in muscle fatigue and soreness. 

Faster recovery 

Did you know you can speed up your muscle recovery process? There are a couple of ways, including increasing your intake of potassium-rich foods and getting quality sleep. 

But there’s also adding astaxanthin to your diet. One of the most potent types of natural antioxidants, it not only reduces muscle damage but also improves muscle function. Plus, it’s known to facilitate fat-burning in cells. 

With regular consumption, astaxanthin helps your body reduce lactic acid levels when you work out, so it can recover faster from sore muscles. How’s that for making those evenings on the treadmill more effective (and less painful too)?
