Post workout supplement
Hello, I’m a 35-year-old male, 90 kg, doing gym workouts (weight lifting 5 days a week) along with running 2 km before each session. I also do one long run or cycling session weekly. I take alcohol occasionally on weekends and have a prediabetic condition. I’m looking for a safe post-workout supplement for muscle recovery that will not cause side effects to my kidney or liver. Please suggest a suitable option. Thank you.
