Ideally first thing each day
Many people prefer to use EssentialAF in the morning, before the day becomes busy, as part of their daily nutrition routine.
Using EssentialAF earlier in the day allows its protein, fibre and complementary nutrients to be consumed in a relatively fasted state, when the digestive system is naturally primed for nutrient intake.
Why mornings work well
Glutamine and digestive support
Glutamine is an important fuel source for cells lining the gastrointestinal tract. Consuming glutamine earlier in the day allows it to contribute to normal gut function and digestive processes as part of your overall daily intake.
Dietary fibre and satiety signals
The fibre content contributes to feelings of fullness and supports normal digestive function. Starting the day with fibre can help support appetite regulation and digestive comfort as part of a balanced eating pattern.
Chromium and macronutrient metabolism
Chromium contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism and helps maintain normal blood glucose levels. Including chromium earlier in the day supports its role across daily carbohydrate and energy metabolism.
Protein availability across the day
Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass and supports recovery from physical activity. Consuming protein earlier in the day helps distribute protein intake more evenly, which is important for muscle support and overall nutrition.
Creatine and energy metabolism
Creatine plays a role in energy production within the body and supports physical performance during short bursts of high intensity exercise. Regular daily intake supports its function as part of normal energy metabolism.
Other suitable times to use
After exercise
Supports post exercise nutrition and muscle recovery.
Between meals
Supports daily protein intake and feelings of fullness.
With meals or snacks
Can be added to foods such as yoghurt, oats or chia puddings to increase nutrient and protein intake.
