Innovations in Nutrition and Health

PeptoPro® powder is the latest form of PeptoPro®, a casein hydrolysate (a protein cut into fragments) that ensures a quick recovery after an intense training effort. Following the successful launch of PeptoPro® during the Athens Olympics in 2004, DSM has worked hard to further improve the product. These efforts have resulted in the present powder form with a strongly improved stability.

PeptoPro® has two functions; in the first place, it promotes the transport of sugars into muscle tissue, where they are converted into glycogen, which is an important energy store for the muscles. Secondly, it stimulates the synthesis of muscle protein after heavy exercise.

Other innovations and applications of DSM products and technologies include:
