For runners, a sufficient protein intake (1.2 to 1.6g per kg of body weight per day) is essential after exercise to promote recovery and the maintenance of muscle mass.

The cited protein intake recommendation is widely supported by scientific literature. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), in its official position statements on nutrition and athletic performance (meta-analyses and consensus reviews), effectively confirms that the requirements of endurance athletes are higher than those of sedentary individuals to support tissue repair. The idea that protein contributes to muscle maintenance and development is a well-established physiological fact. The addition of magnesium and vitamin B9 to reduce fatigue is also metabolically correct, although their specific impact on immediate recovery after a running session depends primarily on a prior deficiency. The link made between the consumption of a specific product (HiPRO) and better recovery is a classic communication strategy, but actual efficacy relies above all on total daily nutrient intake rather than a single food item. In summary, the message is scientifically robust in its substance, while incorporating a commercial dimension common in the wellness industry.
