PPNI – Pepto-Pro 500g

This is a highly advanced dairy protein-peptide formulation and contains all 20 amino acids required for muscle protein synthesis. Protein contributes to growth in muscle mass, the maintenance of muscle mass and the maintenance of normal bones, all of which the intense trainer or athlete benefits from. PeptoPro delivers amino acids in the form of di-peptides & tri-peptides. These molecules are so small they need no digestion and are absorbed by the body instantly for delivery to the muscle.

• Accelerates recovery and stimulates post-exercise insulin secretion
• Supported by multiple human studies
• Feedback from athletes is that the benefits of PeptoPro are clear and noticeable
• PeptoPro is a strong and established brand in the world of sports nutrition
• Completely and instantly soluble, even in cold water
• Natural, healthy and safe
• PeptoPro is virtually lactose-and fat-free and thanks to its unique processing properties, PeptoPro is instantly and completely soluble. When taken intra-training PPNI’s PeptoPro provides instant delivery of ‘full-spectrum amino acids to the muscles, even during high-intensity exercise and boosts muscle protein synthesis during and post-exercise. Also enhancing physical performance, endurance and stamina PeptoPro has been supported by numerous human studies to deliver across all sports.

How is this possible?
Certain amino acids are classed as being ‘glucogenic’, this means that they can be converted to glucose through metabolic processes, i.e. gluconeogenesis. In the case of protein hydrolysates which are digested and absorbed very rapidly, some of the glucogenic amino acids can be converted to glucose and this is linked to insulin response. Whey protein is comparatively lower in the amino acids arginine, phenylalanine and glutamine, which are ‘glucogenic’ amino acids. Casein is high in threonine, arginine and glutamine and in the total number of ‘glucogenic amino’ overall. This indicates that PeptoPro (casein hydrolysate) is more advantageous than whey around the training window. This is known as ‘peri’ workout nutrition.
