Zone Products Used in Training:
Pasta, Olive Oil, Toasted Sesame Oil, Zone Bars, Zone Shakes, and for supplements EicoPro Omega-3 EPA/DHA Concentrate, SeaHealth Plus, Polyphenol Plus.
Benefits Seen With Zone:
I feel that I recover faster with the higher protein pasta. I like to have that after a muscle breakdown workout/day to help my muscles regenerate. I use the shakes as post workout snacks to help me immediately begin recovering from my workout. I use the polyphenol Plus because it is an antioxidant that helps repair the damage caused by a heavy training load. The Sea Health plus, while also having antioxidant benefits, also supplies me with a nice source of sea plant trace minerals not easily found in a typical diet. I use the fish oils to aid in heart health and inflamation reduction.
