Transparent Labs - Post Workout

Transparent Labs Post Workout is a purpose-built recovery formula addressing what most post-workout supplements ignore: the specific physiological events that determine how well and how fast you recover between training sessions. Six fully disclosed, research-backed ingredients — 5g creatine monohydrate, 5g Kyowa L-glutamine, 2g Carnipure L-carnitine L-tartrate, 500mg VitaCherry tart cherry, 200mg magnesium bisglycinate, and 50mg ActiGin — each targeting a different element of the post-exercise recovery window. No artificial sweeteners, colors, or flavors. Third-party tested. 30 servings.†

What's Inside Transparent Labs Post Workout

• Creatine Monohydrate — 5,000mg — the full 5g research-standard daily dose, timed post-workout where evidence suggests creatine absorption into muscle tissue is most efficient. After a training session, insulin sensitivity is elevated and GLUT transporters are upregulated, improving creatine uptake into depleted muscle cells. Creatine restores phosphocreatine stores consumed during training, directly recharging the ATP energy system and reducing the cellular energy deficit that contributes to post-workout fatigue and delayed recovery. This is the same dose and compound as in Transparent Labs Creatine HMB — users who prefer HMB alongside their creatine can opt for that product instead, or use Post Workout for the full recovery formula stack.†
• Kyowa L-Glutamine — 5,000mg — Kyowa Quality glutamine is produced through microbial fermentation to pharmaceutical-grade purity specifications — meaningfully different from commodity L-glutamine sourced from standard fermentation processes. Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in skeletal muscle, and heavy training temporarily depletes circulating glutamine levels. Post-exercise glutamine intake supports multiple distinct recovery mechanisms simultaneously: glycogen resynthesis (especially when taken with carbohydrates), gastrointestinal barrier integrity to reduce exercise-induced gut permeability, and immune function maintenance — glutamine is the primary fuel source for lymphocytes and macrophages, which are under increased demand during high training volume periods. At 5g, this is a research-relevant dose for all three of these recovery pathways.†
• Carnipure L-Carnitine L-Tartrate — 2,000mg — Carnipure is the premium, pharmaceutical-grade form of L-carnitine L-tartrate (LCLT) produced by Lonza to verified purity standards. LCLT is the most bioavailable carnitine compound and the form used in published athletic performance and recovery research. Carnitine's recovery role is distinct from its energy production role: it supports recovery by reducing exercise-induced muscle damage markers (creatine kinase and myoglobin), reducing muscle soreness, and promoting androgen receptor upregulation — which means more of the testosterone your body produces post-exercise can actually be utilized for muscle protein synthesis. At 2g, Carnipure is dosed in line with the research demonstrating these specific recovery effects.†
• VitaCherry Tart Cherry — 500mg — VitaCherry is a concentrated tart cherry powder standardized for its polyphenol and anthocyanin content — the specific fractions responsible for tart cherry's well-documented recovery effects. Tart cherry has been shown in multiple clinical trials to significantly reduce delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), reduce exercise-induced inflammation markers, and improve recovery of muscle function following eccentric exercise damage. The mechanism is the anthocyanin content's ability to manage exercise-induced inflammatory signaling and oxidative stress in muscle tissue. VitaCherry in concentrated powder form delivers the equivalent polyphenol content of many individual tart cherries per serving.†
• Magnesium Bisglycinate — 200mg — magnesium bisglycinate is one of the most bioavailable forms of magnesium available — the mineral is bound to glycine (an amino acid) rather than inorganic salt forms like magnesium oxide, which dramatically improves intestinal absorption and reduces the laxative effect associated with poorly absorbed magnesium supplements. Magnesium is a cofactor for over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, including those governing muscle contraction and relaxation, ATP synthesis, protein synthesis, and neuromuscular function. Athletes and regular trainers lose meaningful amounts of magnesium through sweat and urinary excretion, and many are chronically suboptimal. Restoring magnesium post-workout directly supports muscle function, next-day energy metabolism, and sleep quality — a critical but often overlooked recovery factor.†
• ActiGin (Panax notoginseng Root + Rosa roxburghii Fruit Extract) — 50mg — ActiGin is a patented botanical complex combining Tienchi Ginseng root extract with Chestnut Rose fruit extract, clinically studied for its role in post-exercise recovery signaling. ActiGin has been shown to support glycogen resynthesis post-exercise, reduce exercise-induced inflammation, and lower creatine kinase levels — a biomarker of muscle damage — following exhaustive training. It works through activation of AMPK (adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase), which coordinates cellular energy sensing and promotes glycogen storage in muscle tissue. At 50mg, ActiGin is dosed at the level used in published research.†

Frequently Asked Questions About Transparent Labs Post Workout

1. Do I need both Post Workout and Creatine HMB, or does Post Workout replace it?
   Post Workout contains 5g of creatine monohydrate — the same dose as Creatine HMB — so it fully covers your daily creatine needs without requiring a separate creatine product. The key difference is what each formula adds alongside the creatine. Creatine HMB adds myHMB (anti-catabolic muscle preservation and protein synthesis support) and Vitamin D3 (synergistic mTOR activation). Post Workout adds glutamine, L-carnitine, tart cherry, magnesium bisglycinate, and ActiGin — a broader multi-target recovery formula focused on soreness reduction, glycogen restoration, muscle damage markers, and gut and immune function. They are different products with different recovery philosophies. For most athletes, Post Workout is the more comprehensive single post-workout product. Athletes who prioritize the HMB-specific anti-catabolism benefit (especially during cutting or high training volume) may prefer Creatine HMB. Both should not be stacked simultaneously as duplicate creatine doses are unnecessary.†
2. Why is tart cherry in a post-workout and does it actually work?
   Tart cherry is one of the more underestimated recovery ingredients in sports nutrition, with a surprisingly strong evidence base. Multiple peer-reviewed trials have shown that tart cherry supplementation meaningfully reduces DOMS — the muscle soreness that peaks 24-48 hours after training — as well as reducing markers of muscle damage and inflammation after intense exercise. The mechanism is the high anthocyanin content, which modulates inflammatory prostaglandin pathways similar to how NSAIDs (ibuprofen) work, but through a natural food-derived mechanism without the gut damage or recovery-interference concerns associated with pharmaceutical anti-inflammatories. VitaCherry is a concentrated, standardized form that delivers a meaningful anthocyanin dose in a practical serving size.†
3. What makes this different from simply taking creatine and a protein shake post-workout?
   A protein shake and creatine covers muscle protein synthesis stimulation and ATP restoration — two critical recovery elements. Transparent Labs Post Workout adds five additional mechanisms that protein and creatine alone do not cover: glutamine for glycogen resynthesis, gut integrity, and immune support; L-carnitine for muscle damage reduction and androgen receptor upregulation; tart cherry for polyphenol-mediated DOMS reduction; magnesium for neuromuscular function, enzyme cofactor needs, and sleep quality; and ActiGin for glycogen resynthesis signaling and inflammation management. The argument for a dedicated post-workout formula is that these mechanisms are specifically triggered by the post-exercise physiological environment and do their best work during the recovery window — not pre-workout.†
4. Can I take Post Workout every day including rest days?
   Yes, and Transparent Labs recommends it. Creatine's saturation mechanism requires daily dosing including rest days, and glutamine, magnesium, and carnitine all benefit from consistent daily intake. On rest days, take Post Workout in the morning to maintain creatine stores and support the recovery and repair processes that continue between training sessions. Pair it with a protein-rich meal or shake for optimal muscle protein synthesis support on both training and rest days.†

How to Take Transparent Labs Post Workout

Mix 1 scoop with 16-20oz of cold water within 30-60 minutes after finishing your workout. Pair with a protein shake for optimal muscle repair and growth. For best results, take daily including rest days to maintain creatine saturation and continuous recovery support. On rest days, take in the morning.†
