HR Labs - Rest Up

Rest Up - a combination of 4 Super Ingredients designed to enhance recovery and aid deep, restful sleep. 

• Recover like a pro
• Sleep like a baby
• Backed by science
• Approved by athletes
• Do it first, do it right

Rest Up.  Recovery is key.  You can have your training meticulously planned and executed, your nutrition dialled in and diet on point, but you will still fall way short of reaching your potential if you don’t optimise your rest and recovery. 99% of the time over training is a consequence of under recovering.  The inability to shake DOMS from one workout to the next, achy joints, angry tendons, shitty mood, loss of mojo, you know the score?  Possible signs, if everything else is on point, that you are not recovering like you could be.

Even if you don’t train hard, life is HARD.  Work, family, diet, tech, daily stresses all take their toll on our ability to rest and recover, often culminating in a vicious cycle of poor or disrupted sleep and the laundry list of negatives that comes with it.

Rest Up has been formulated with this and more in mind.

What’s in it and why?

CherryPure® is widely considered to be the world’s first and leading tart cherry powder, with unrivalled purity and traceability.

It is manufactured only from Montmorency Cherries farmed in Michigan, USA which are renowned for their extremely high antioxidant content, yielding a flavonoid rich polyphenol profile high in anthocyanidins and proanthocyanidins.  

…Cool long words bro, why should I care? 

Antioxidants have long been linked to a reduction in inflammation and oxidative stress. This ‘Superfruit’ has been shown to have a multitude of health benefits in human clinical trials, including improved post exercise muscle recovery and improved cardiovascular and gut health 

CherryPure® also improves sleep latency – the time which it takes to fall asleep - and quality. It is a natural source of Melatonin, the bodies primary ‘sleep’ hormone which plays a vital role in regulating our circadian rhythm.

Levagen+® is a trademarked form of Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), an endogenous fatty acid amide produced naturally in the body in response to injury and stress.   It is a superior form of PEA with increased bioavailability utilising award-winning LipiSperse® technology.

It has excellent anti-inflammatory, pain relief and neuro-protective properties and is categorised as part of the extended endocannabinoid family with similar health benefits to CBD, whilst having a significant history of human clinical trials backing its safety and efficacy.

Of particular significance for trained individuals: 

It has been proven to improve symptoms of joint discomfort, stiffness and function.

It has been found to significantly reduce levels of anxiety, improve mood and quality of sleep.

It has been proven to reduce muscle damage and stimulate growth of muscle tissue post-exercise, improving recovery time and enhancing muscle adaptations.

Apigenin is a naturally occurring flavonoid commonly found in a variety of plants, fruits and herbs.  In common with the other ingredients in Rest Up it has both anti-inflammatory and neuro protective properties.  It has been shown in human clinical studies to improve symptoms of depression and anxiety – the most notable studies used chamomile extract, which is naturally rich in apigenin.

Apigenin’s bioavailability is poor, but its safety profile is extremely good.  Animal studies researching its beneficial effects on both sleep and aging have used considerably higher dosages than comparable human trials, to great effect.  

Anecdotally, replicating these dosages in real life with willing human Guinea Pigs as opposed to mice has shown positive results on sleep.  Taking Apigenin prior to bed may help you fall asleep faster, wake less throughout the night and rise feeing more rested the next day.  It’s positive effects on cellular function and subsequently overall health and longevity are difficult to ignore…. So, we haven’t!

CellFlo6™ is a patented proprietary performance green tea extract designed with specific levels of catechins to help support cardiovascular health, muscle recovery, metabolic and immune health. It may also reduce oxidative stress and fight free damage at the cellular level.

The team behind CellFlo6™ have been researching the flavonoid rich polyphenols in green tea for over a decade, delving further into the science of the plant and its associated benefits than anyone else and subsequently proving its efficacy in landmark human clinical studies.

CellFlo6™ is created using a double extraction process which increases the level of catechins, specifically galloylated procyanidins, which are believed to contribute to its performance and recovery properties.  Enhanced blood flow and improved nutrient delivery can also be of particular benefit in relation to sleep.
