PeptoPro
PeptoPro is a patented protein hydrolysate consisting of extensively hydrolyzed casein. Hydrolyzed proteins are proteins that have been broken down into their component peptides and amino acids, which allows for rapid absorption by the body. This product is specifically designed to provide a rapidly absorbing source of protein that can aid in muscle recovery and growth.
Benefits of PeptoPro:
- Fast Absorption: Due to its hydrolyzed nature, PeptoPro is absorbed rapidly by the body, making it an ideal supplement for post-exercise recovery.
- Muscle Recovery: The amino acids in PeptoPro help to repair muscle tissue that has been damaged during intense exercise.
- Sustained Energy: Because PeptoPro is a complete protein, it can help to sustain energy levels during endurance events.
- Low Allergenic Potential: PeptoPro is low in lactose and is often better tolerated than other dairy-based protein supplements.
A study conducted by the University of Maastricht found that drinking small amounts of PeptoPro during a workout can increase muscle building during and after the workout. PeptoPro reduces catabolism during a workout and does not cause stomach discomfort due to its molecular size.
Recommended Dosage & Side Effects:
While the exact dosage can vary depending on individual needs and the advice of healthcare providers, a common recommendation for PeptoPro is to consume 10-20 grams post-workout for muscle recovery purposes. It’s typically mixed into water or another beverage. As with any supplement, PeptoPro may cause side effects in some people. These could include gastrointestinal symptoms like bloating, gas, stomach cramps, or nausea. Anyone with a milk protein allergy should avoid PeptoPro as it is derived from casein, a milk protein. Also, individuals with kidney disease should exercise caution when consuming high-protein supplements and should consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen.
