PeptoPro®

With PeptoPro®, DSM gives a new meaning to the concept of sports drinks. The use of proteins in ready-to-use sports drinks was limited up to now: there were solution problems, as well as stability and digestive problems if complete proteins were used. Protein hydrolysates dissolve better in water, are more bioavailable and easier to digest but their bitter, unpleasant taste limited their use. Now with PeptoPro® you can make clear, stable peptide drinks which are not bitter.

Patented
The secret? The patented DSM technology for protein hydrolysis. This result is di- and tripeptides which are soluble, not bitter and low in allergenic potential.

Muscle refuelling
The active peptides in PeptoPro® stimulate the production of insulin, which in turn results in better utilisation of glucose by the muscle cells. The clinical results? PeptoPro® is superior to ordinary carbohydrate drinks - both during exertion (endurance) as well as after it (recovery).

This is why the Dutch Olympic Committee recommend PeptoPro® to its athletes.

Proteins are in
The scientific evidence for the physiological value of proteins as opposed to carbohydrates has been piling up. The possibilities for using PeptoPro® in a new range of drinks for children, women and elderly people are almost unlimited.

PeptoPro®'s highly succesful market offensive continues. After high profile appearances and various exhibitions the PeptoPro® team will be present at International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Associaton (IHRSA) 2008 in San Diego, USA from March 6-8, Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, USA from March 14-16, 2008 and at Vitafoods in Geneva from May 6-8, 2008.
