Isopept Hydrolyzed Whey Protein

Proteins are polymers of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) linked via α-peptide bonds. They play a vital role in the function and regulation of the body’s tissues and organs, including muscle protein synthesis. The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of protein for healthy individuals is 0.8g/kg/day.

For optimal training adaptations, it has become increasingly evident that protein intake should be increased to at least 1.4–1.6 g/kg/day ¹. In an effort to meet these intakes, supplementation is beneficial. For optimal muscle protein synthesis, evidence shows that it is important to consume protein before and after a workout. Post-training protein intake has been demonstrated to play an important role in optimising physical performance and positively influencing the resistance and endurance recovery process ¹.

ISOPEPT contains 27g of the highest quality protein from Whey Protein and Hydrolyzed Whey Protein Isolate. This premium blend is rapidly absorbed and nutrient rich to help fuel and replenish fatigued muscles. If you want rapid and efficient results from your workout, ISOPEPT is the protein for you!

PROMOTE MUSCLE GROWTH AND RECOVERY

ISOPEPT protein is a rich source of all the essential BCAA, containing the highest known levels of any natural food source. BCAAs are metabolised directly into muscle tissue and are effective for skeletal-muscle protein synthesis during and after exercise. They help to replenish decreased energy levels and assist with growth and repair of lean muscle tissue ². There are 20 amino acids, 9 of which must be obtained through diet:

• Methionine assists in energy production and fat metabolism.
• Lysine stimulates muscle building.
• Tryptophan enhances mood and pain tolerance.
• Threonine plays an important role in heart health, strong bones and muscles.
• Phenylalanine reduces RPE, pain tolerance and enhances mood.
• Histidine assists in offsetting lactic acid build up.
• Leucine plays a vital role in protein synthesis and energy production.
• Isoleucine enhances endurance, energy and muscle recovery.
• Valine is important for muscular growth, energy, and recovery.

INCREASED ENERGY

ISOPEPT includes a full spectrum of B-vitamins which promote and support energy levels. They work to help the body use macronutrients (carbohydrates, fat and protein) for fuel and play an important role in brain function and DNA production. Figures show that a very sizeable proportion of the developed populations suffer deficiency in one or more B vitamins, suggesting that supplementation may be of particular benefit ³.

IMMUNITY BOOST

Studies suggest that whey protein may protect against toxins, bacteria, and viruses ². For the most optimal immunity defence, Vitamin C and Zinc have also been added. Vitamin C contributes to immune defence by supporting various cellular functions and supplementation has shown to be effective in the prevention and treatment of systemic infections ⁴. Zinc is essential for optimal immune, wound healing, the breakdown of carbohydrates and cell growth.

ANTI-CRAMPING

Muscle cramps are sudden, involuntary and painful muscle contractions that last seconds to minutes. Findings suggest exercise-associated muscle cramps are caused by decreased sodium, potassium, magnesium, chloride, and calcium concentrations as a result of sweating during exercise. Therefore, an electrolyte blend of potassium, calcium and magnesium has been added to help relieve cramps, reduce muscle soreness and rehydrate after a workout ⁵.

NERVOUS SYSTEM SUPPORT

KSM-66 Ashwagandha and L-Theanine have been added to support the nervous system and increase relaxation, which can be of particular benefit after an intense training session. L-Theanine is a unique non-protein amino acid which has the potential to enhance cognitive function and prevent stress-related psychic confusion. Recent findings suggest that L-Theanine may promote mental health with stress-related ailments and cognitive impairments ⁶. In addition, Ashwagandha has been shown to enhance brain function, improve memory and soothe the nervous system from pain response ⁷.

EASY TO DIGEST

ISOPEPT has been formulated with digestive enzymes (Prohydrolase) to help deliver all the benefits, without the gas, bloating and discomfort some may experience. Studies show that Prohydrolase has the potential to improve digestion and absorption. Get your hands on a tub today and experience all the incredible benefits for yourself!

ISOPEPT is best taken within 45 minutes after a workout to help replenish protein stores. Best mixed with 8oz or 240mL of water!
