For cyclist, guide and mother María Ögn Guðmundsdóttir, the difference she noticed after introducing Unbroken into her routine was striking. The deep muscle soreness she had been experiencing was no longer there. Today, Unbroken is part of how she supports her body before and during long rides, through recovery afterwards, and as part of staying active for the long term.
Feeling the difference
María first started using Unbroken during a period when she was experiencing significant muscle soreness and fatigue.
What she noticed made her want to continue.
“The deep muscle soreness I used to experience is no longer there.”
For María, feeling better recovered meant being able to keep doing what she loves. Cycling is a major part of her life, and demanding rides can mean hours of sustained physical effort.
That experience also changed the way she thought about recovery. Rather than something that begins once the ride is finished, recovery can be supported while the body is still working.
Before the ride
On demanding cycling days, María starts early.
“During intense cycling competitions, I take 2 to 3 tablets shortly before the start.”
For her, taking Unbroken before setting off means amino acid nutrition is already part of her routine from the beginning, rather than something she thinks about only when the ride is over.
That becomes even more important as the distances get longer.
Along for the ride
For long rides, María takes Unbroken with her, mixing it into her bottle alongside electrolytes and carrying additional tablets for later.
“For longer rides, I make sure to have extra Unbroken on hand for when I refill.”
It's a simple approach that suits cycling particularly well. Unbroken is compact, easy to carry and can be taken in water while she continues riding.
For María, that provides a practical way to incorporate amino acids during long periods of activity, particularly when eating enough protein isn't always convenient.
Recovery doesn't have to wait
María's routine reflects a central idea behind Unbroken: recovery nutrition doesn't necessarily need to wait until after exercise.
With free-form amino acids and small peptides that require minimal further protein digestion, Unbroken can be used before, during and after activity.
For María, that means before the start, in her bottle during a long ride and as part of her recovery afterwards.
Recovery starts before the finish line.
Staying active for the long term
María's perspective goes beyond the next ride.
As a cyclist, guide and mother, being able to stay active and look after her body over time matters to her.
“It gives me confidence that I’m performing better under physical load and supporting a healthy body for life.”
That is what makes her experience with Unbroken particularly relevant beyond competitive sport. Recovery isn't only about being ready for tomorrow's training. It can also be part of supporting an active life for the years ahead.
For María, Unbroken has found a place in both.
Ride. Recover. Keep moving.
