Legion Recharge Review
You’ve probably heard you don’t gain muscle in the gym.
This is true.
And not in a topsy turvy, “it makes sense if you don’t think about it,” Zen koan kind of way.
It’s literally true.
Strictly speaking, everything we do in the gym actually results in the exact opposite of muscle growth—muscle damage and breakdown.
What happens next is the key: recovery.
How well our bodies recover from our workouts will determine how much muscle and strength we gain from them.
That’s why it’s not enough to just hammer away at the weights every week. You also have to watch your calories and macros, maintain good sleep hygiene, and avoid overtraining.
You can also speed up your post-workout recovery with supplementation, and that’s why we created Recharge.
It’s a 100% natural post-workout drink that boosts muscle growth, improves recovery, and reduces muscle soreness.
That is, Recharge helps you get more out of your training (and get in more of it) without running into symptoms related to overtraining.
The reason it’s so effective is simple:
Every ingredient is backed by peer-reviewed scientific research and is included at clinically effective levels.
That means the ingredients and doses in Recharge are based on published scientific research demonstrating real benefits, not the restrictions of razor-thin production budgets or gluttonous profit margins.
In other words, while everyone claims to have the best post-workout supplement on the market, we can actually back it up with real science and real numbers.
Recharge is also naturally sweetened and flavored and contains no artificial food dyes, fillers, or other unnecessary junk.
So, if you want to be able to push harder in the gym, recover better, and gain muscle and strength faster . . . you want to try Recharge today.
You won’t be disappointed.
In fact, if you don’t absolutely love Recharge, just let us know and we’ll give you a full refund on the spot. No form or return necessary.
You really can’t lose, so order now and get ready to enjoy more muscle and strength, better post-workout recovery, and less muscle soreness.
The vast majority of supplements that claim to aid in muscle growth do absolutely nothing.
Scientifically speaking, they’re just overpriced placebos.
Take natural testosterone boosters, for example.
Three of the most popular ingredients in these products are Tribulus terrestris, ZMA, and D-aspartic acid, and research shows . . .
Tribulus terrestris has no effect on testosterone levels, body composition, or exercise performance.[1][2][3]
ZMA won’t increase your testosterone levels unless you’re quite deficient in zinc.[4]
D-aspartic acid may raise your testosterone levels . . . a little . . . for a few weeks.[5][6]
A number of other ingredients often found in testosterone boosters are equally underwhelming and ineffective, including . . .
Saw palmetto
Horny goat weed
Eurycoma longifolia jack
Holy basil
Velvet antler
Some, like horny goat weed and eurycoma longifolia jack, lack credible, legitimate human research, and others, like saw palmetto and velvet antler are proven to not enhance testosterone production.
Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are another example of a popular “muscle builder” supplement that can’t deliver the goods.
While there are a number of studies that appear to demonstrate that BCAAs can improve immune function, diminish fatigue, minimize exercise-induced muscle damage, and enhance post-workout muscle growth, there’s also a problem.
Namely, the bulk of this research doesn’t directly apply to the average healthy, physically active person following a sensible workout routine and high-protein diet.
An argument could be made for why athletes training several hours per day might be able to benefit from BCAA supplementation, but for the rest of us, it’s far more sizzle than steak.
We can get all the branched-chain amino acids we need to recover and gain muscle from food alone. In fact, there’s research that suggests this is more effective than BCAA supplementation.[7]
All that doesn’t mean all supplements related to muscle building are worthless, however.
There are natural substances that are scientifically proven to help you build muscle, gain strength, and recover faster.
They aren’t game changers and can’t take the place of proper diet and training, but they can help amplify your results.
That’s why we created Recharge.
It’s a 100% natural post-workout drink that boosts muscle growth, improves recovery, and reduces muscle soreness.
That is, Recharge helps you get more out of your training (and get in more of it) without running into symptoms related to overtraining.
Creatine Monohydrate
Creatine is a natural compound made up of the amino acids L-arginine, glycine, and methionine.
Our body can produce creatine naturally, but it can also absorb and store creatine found in various foods like meat, eggs, and fish.
Creatine monohydrate is creatine with one molecule of water attached to it. This form of creatine has been around (and studied) for decades and is a tried-and-true winner, whereas other forms have failed to produce better results.
It enhances the body’s ability to create a substance known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the most basic unit of cellular energy.
For a cell to use ATP, it must first break it down into several smaller molecules, and this process produces byproducts that are then “recycled” back into ATP to be used again, including one of particular interest here: adenosine diphosphate (ADP).
The more ATP your cells can store and the faster they can regenerate it after use, the more work they can do. This is true of every bodily system, including your muscle cells.[8]
Creatine is an essential ingredient in the process of regenerating ATP, which is why supplementing with it increases the amount of work that your muscles can do.
Specifically, creatine accelerates the regeneration process by ”donating” a molecule of a substance that allows your body to rapidly convert ADP into ATP, thereby significantly increasing your muscles’ functional capacity.[9]
The downside to this system of energy generation, though, is the body’s natural creatine stores are very limited.[10] Once they’ve been depleted, the show is over, and the body has to turn to glucose or fatty acids to continue producing ATP.
When you take a creatine supplement, however, your total body creatine stores rise significantly, with an average increase of 10 to 20% in your muscles.[11]
This provides your muscle cells with much higher levels of readily available energy, which is why research shows that supplementation with creatine monohydrate . . .
Boosts muscle and strength gain [12][13][14][15]
Improves anaerobic endurance [16][17][18][19][20][21]
Reduces muscle damage and soreness from exercise [22][23]
Increases the amount of glycogen your muscles can store [24]
Helps preserve lean mass and strength while restricting calories [25]
And in case you’re worried that creatine is bad for your kidneys, these claims have been horribly overblown. [26][27]
Creatine supplementation isn’t advised in cases of kidney disease treated by diuretics, but in healthy people, both short- and long-term usage of creatine has no harmful side effects. [28][29][30]
The clinically effective dose of creatine monohydrate is 3 to 5 grams. [31]
Recharge contains 5 grams of creatine monohydrate per serving.
L-Carnitine L-Tartrate
L-carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid found mostly in meat and dairy products.
It’s “conditionally essential,” which means our body can produce it as long as we’re also eating enough of two other amino acids it can’t produce, lysine and methionine.
L-tartrate is a salt used to increase the absorption of other nutrients.
L-carnitine serves several vital functions in the body, mostly related to the production of cellular energy.[32] Thus, it’s not surprising that most of the L-carnitine in your body is found in your muscles, which have to be able to quickly generate a tremendous amount of energy.[33]
Additionally, when you supplement with L-carnitine, you greatly increase your body’s carnitine stores, and your muscles’ stores in particular.[34]
This is why research shows that supplementation with L-carnitine L-tartrate . . .
Reduces exercise-induced muscle damage and soreness [35][36][37]
Improves muscle repair [38]
Improves insulin sensitivity [39]
The clinically effective dose of L-carnitine L-tartrate is 1 to 2 grams. [40]
Recharge contains 2.1 grams of L-carnitine L-tartrate per serving.
Corosolic Acid
Corosolic acid is a substance that comes from the leaves of the banaba plant.
Research shows that supplementation with corosolic acid improves blood glucose control and enhances insulin signaling.[41]
And this, in turn, enhances post-workout glucose and amino acid absorption.[42]
The clinically effective dose of corosolic acid is 10 milligrams. [43]
Recharge contains 10.8 milligrams of corosolic acid per serving.
