Consuming a twice-daily protein-polyphenol beverage (post-exercise and pre-bed) during the early phase of resistance training (first 10 sessions) increases daily myofibrillar protein synthesis rates and accelerates early muscle functional gains compared to a placebo.

If you are just starting resistance training, adding a protein-polyphenol supplement twice a day (after workouts and before bed) can help your muscles repair and function better in the first few weeks. This involves a specific blend of whey/pea/casein protein with pomegranate extract post-workout, and casein with tart cherry extract before bed. This strategy speeds up early strength gains and protein synthesis, though it may not change long-term muscle size compared to standard protein.
