FAQs
How does Kyoku replenish my energy stores?
A hard training session inevitably depletes your body’s glycogen stores, a key energy source derived from digesting protein and carbohydrates. Running out of glycogen stores makes many athletes experience extreme fatigue, dizziness, a near-complete loss of energy, and the inability to focus. Our Superfood Shakes contain glycogen-rich ingredients such as Sweet Potato, Quinoa, and Brown Rice which are specifically designed to replenish your depleted nutrient stores.
Why plant-based superfoods?
Health and wellness communities agree that diets emphasizing fresh, whole food ingredients are superior for overall wellness. Superfoods are nutritionally dense and laden with naturally occurring antioxidants and micronutrients. This is why we wanted to use only natural, wholesome ingredients. Furthermore, plant-based ingredients are far more environmentally sustainable. These ingredients produce fewer greenhouse gases, use less land, and consume less water compared to animal-based protein counterparts.
Why consume a Superfood Shake?
According to leading doctors, dietitians, and personal trainers, what you consume on a daily basis directly impacts the way you feel and perform. Consuming the optimal amount of protein, carbs, and healthy fats on a daily basis and after training is essential for replenishing your body with the fuel it needs to adapt and recover. Optimal nutrition reduces inflammation, repairs damaged tissues, and allows you to perform better the next day. If you're able to perform better the next day, day-after-day, you'll increase the amount of high-quality training you're able to do over time. As a result, you'll improve faster, reach your athletic goals more quickly, and break your PRs.

What kind of testing do you do?

How does Kyoku repair damaged tissues?
Micro-tears in muscle fibers are a normal part of training, happening when we impose strain on our muscles. Therefore, it is essential to replenish your body with highly digestible protein that contains the full amino acid profile in the effort of growing, maintaining, and repairing your body's soft tissues, including muscle. Although this macronutrient has gained a title as the 'building block of muscle,' not all protein is created equally. Kyoku's plant-based protein blend consists of the best ingredients, such as Hemp Seeds, Chia Seeds, Chickpea, Peas, and Brown Rice. Thus, our Superfood Shakes allow your soft tissue fibers to heal more efficiently and become stronger in the process.
How does Kyoku reduce inflammation and soreness?
Muscle soreness and joint pain experienced after a training session are often associated with mild forms of exercise-induced inflammation. Inflammation can cause pain, slow your recovery process, and even obstruct the progress you’ve made with your training. By managing post-workout inflammation, you can recover faster, protect yourself from overtraining, cause less stress to your body, and perform better the next day. Therefore, our Superfood Shakes leverage clinically proven anti-inflammatory ingredients such as Tart Cherry, Turmeric, and Beet Root.
