Protein synthesis
Amino acids are the building blocks of
muscles and tissue, skin and hair, the molecules of our immune system,
membranes, hormones and neurotransmitters, enzymes, DNA and RNA. With di- and
tripeptides they have finally become available in a soluble and a non-bitter
form.
That is why active peptides are an essential component in sports drinks, both
for recovery and for endurance
. And yet, their possible application is much broader because of a unique
combination of practical and physiological advantages.
PeptoPro® as a source of amino acids can stimulate protein synthesis and thus
have a positive influence on raising or maintaining muscle mass. This offers
new perspectives for all people who need to maintain or to increase their
muscle mass for example overweight people during calory restriction, children,
women, elderly people and also managers who skip often their meals.
Stimulate muscle building in overweight people
An increased
protein intake combined with resistance training can stimulate muscle growth
in people who are on a calorie restricted diet. More muscle mass that burns
more calories, improves your body shape (because muscle mass has a lower
volume than fat mass) and makes it easier to maintain a healthier and lower
body weight. So it must be the target of all overweight people to increase
their lean muscle mass.
R Demling and L DeSanti carried out a study with 34 American police officers
who were overweight. They all followed a hypocaloric diet (80% RDA) for 12
weeks. The second group received extra whey proteins (1,5 g/kg/day) and the
third group was given extra casein hydrolysate (1,5 g/kg/day).
