Regeneration Competition optimises the physical recovery process by promoting glycogen storage and protein synthesis. As confirmed in a report made by the Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich, Switzerland its composition is based on the results made by research on sports nutrition.

The combination of carbohydrates and wheat protein hydrolysate encourages efficient glycogen storage whilst providing the conditions for rapid protein synthesis. The main source of carbohydrates in this product is Vitargo^TM, a certified carbohydrate made of barley starch, which was specially developed for efficient glycogen storage. Vitargo^TM has a molecular weight 100 times greater than that of regular maltodextrin and studies have shown that it is assimilated faster by muscle cells than other types of sugar.

In addition to carbohydrates and protein, this regeneration drink also contains chrome, zinc and magnesium, which are essential for insulin metabolism. The correct function of insulin is vital for the body's capacity to build protein and thus muscles. Glutamine is a source of energy for the immune system and also plays an important role in muscle building. Taurine is an insulin-like semi-essential amino acid and counteracts the detrimental effects of free radicals.

The table below shows how the combination of carbohydrates and peptides (protein hydrolysate) works to drastically shorten the recovery time following physical exertion.
