DiETARY SUPPLEMENT BASED ON WHEY PROTEIN 90%, with Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12

In the human organism, proteins mainly have a plastic/structural role, while from an energy point of view, in normal physiological conditions, they are of scarce importance. Proteins supply the majority of the "bricks" (amino acids) that we are made from and they become a substratum of energetic nature only in extreme conditions (e.g. prolonged fasting).

It is well known that the absorption speed of amino acids and small peptides in the gastrointestinal tract varies a great deal depending on the protein they come from. Milk serum proteins remain in the stomach for a relatively short time and enter more quickly than casein in the small intestine.

This is the basis for the better absorption and digestibility of these proteins, and their intake causes a considerable increase of free amino acids in the blood in less than an hour from taking. This aids digestion and absorption even better, if the technique for preparing the protein is the so-called "ionic exchange". This extraction and isolation technique seems to conserve certain types of peptide bonds (the chemical bond that binds amino acids to each other to form a protein). The final net result is better bioavailability of di-peptides and tri-peptides, like those formed by glutamate and two molecules of cysteine, which are attributed with important anabolising properties. This sustained "anabolism" allows optimising the use of endogenous proteins and reduce proteolysis. Serum proteins are therefore recognised as having an anabolising effect on protein synthesis, especially in the muscles. The increase in blood levels of amino acids with serum proteins is physiologically important if it takes place in the period between 1 and 2 hours after training. The period when protein synthesis reaches its peak in athletes' muscles, due also to the physiological release of anabolising hormones (e.g. GH).

 

SPORT: besides the nutritional features of proteins, their intake as a supplement is indicated in sports every time the thin mass (muscular mass) needs increasing or maintaining, reducing the fat mass.

Dose: for athletes practising power sports, we can recommend up to 1.6-1.7 g/kg of body weight. These doses should satisfy requests for increasing/maintaining muscular mass. For athletes in resistance sports, we recommend 1.2-1.4 g/kg of body weight to maintain muscular mass. Dissolve 3 measures (corresponding to 30g) in at least 80-100 ml of water or skimmed milk. The pack contains a 10g measure.

DAILY LIFE: This product is useful in diets poor in high protein foods (meat, fish) and for anybody wishing to reduce carbohydrate and fat intake during low calorie slimming diets. Milk proteins are of high biological level and can replace meat (as a source of protein) for anyone needing to reduce intake of cholesterol, fat or who suffer from hyperuricemia.

Dose: the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of proteins is 0.8 g/kg of body weight.

RDA: recommended daily allowance
