PeptoBol PeptoPro® 500 grams YAMAMOTO

What is PeptoBol PeptoPro®?

PeptoBol PeptoPro® is a dietary supplement recommended for athletes who engage in intense and prolonged physical activity. Casein hydrolysates (PeptoPro®) are derived from casein (a milk protein known for its slow digestion) subjected to hydrolysis, an artificial enzymatic digestion process that splits the peptide bonds of proteins, producing smaller molecules called peptides. These molecules are digested and absorbed more quickly in the intestine, contributing to the processes of maintaining and growing muscle mass, typical of proteins.

The creation of "PeptoBol" was not just a fad, but, typical of the Yamamoto® Nutrition philosophy, a scientifically proven choice.

PeptoBol PeptoPro® is formulated with hydrolyzed casein (PeptoPro®) and contains a high percentage (70-80%) of small di- and tripeptides that can quickly reach the bloodstream, ideal, if not essential, for the delicate post-workout moment. PeptoBol is pure hydrolyzed casein (PeptoPro®) without any alterations caused by flavorings or sweeteners, thus avoiding any "pollution" of its unique characteristics.

The Peptobol PeptoPro® line is based on Peptopro® formulations, proteins derived from caseins enzymatically hydrolyzed into small di-tripeptides (70-80%). Being predigested, they are significantly more rapidly absorbed than "intact" proteins, but also than the same free-form amino acids, thanks to a different (non-specific) transport carrier compared to the more specific (and "limiting") one used by free-form proteins. Extremely soluble in water, they should not be considered a "shake" like those of other sources; they are an added value that science offers to those seeking a boost in protein synthesis and optimal glycogen storage (when combined with carbohydrates). This technological "refinement" makes the many features (proven in the literature) offered by these hydrolyzed blends available to the most demanding athlete:

Di and tripeptides for the fastest absorption “recovery ready”, keeping in mind that in this way we provide the full spectrum of amino acids of the complete protein in favor of maximum efficiency in the synthesis of new proteins;

The volume of the elements is so small that it is considered a preparation that is not only highly digestible but also hypoallergenic (so much so that it is increasingly used in infant formula);

Reduction of post-workout DOMS with faster acceleration of recovery times (more decisive if combined with carbohydrates as in the RECHARGE version).
*PERFORMANCE version with added Sustamine®, the best bioavailable form (dipeptide) of glutamine *RECHARGE version with Cluster Dextrin® and Sustamine®, to have the ideal trio for the most efficient recovery to be used in intra and post-workout.

When to use PeptoBol PeptoPro®?

These aren't "proteins" to be used at any time of day, but they are "ideal" for certain times of the day if we want better, faster, and more efficient recovery. For all other situations "outside" the crucial and precious "pre-workout" period, protein sources must be different. For those seeking excellence in this regard and wanting to promote faster and more powerful structural recovery in terms of protein synthesis, protein hydrolysates (such as casein, whey, or salmon) are the most innovative and, above all, efficient choice. The reasons for this can be summarized in a few points:

1. faster absorption than the already rapid isolated proteins favored by predigestion, keeping in mind that when they are found in the form of di- and tripeptides they are unrivaled even by the same amino acids in free form, due to specific "preferential" transport carriers.
2. “insulinotropic” impact;

3. Versatile for use before, during, or after a workout, given their extreme solubility. They don't require any particular gastrointestinal effort, and within a short time, the amino acids are bioavailable in all their "anabolic" power at a "sacred" time of need, yet without overburdening the already inflamed body with additional effort and resulting blood draws.

   What justifies their price?

   Their price has been the worst obstacle to their market penetration, perhaps more than their flavor, but hydrolyzed casein remains a unique protein preparation. Eighty percent of their peptides are under 300 daltons, considering that solid protein foods or even their "relatives," whey concentrate and isolate, are characterized by long polypeptide chains. The PeptoPro® proteins in PeptoBol contain only short chains consisting of a maximum of four amino acids, and moreover dipeptides and tripeptides, which means absolute solubility and digestibility, also because their size makes them hypoallergenic. This means extremely rapid gastrointestinal transit and rapid absorption. The unpleasant flavor is a characteristic of absolute purity, and no flavoring or sweetener can significantly mask the strong bitter taste, even when mixed with other flavored drinks. Since their release on the market, years ago now, although highly appreciated by top-level athletes, we have been "criticized" by some for choosing not to fill them with additives to mask the taste. But as we continue to say, this would excessively alter the absolute quality level of this special preparation of di- and tripeptides They exploit a faster intracellular transport pathway than any other protein source, and the free-form amino acids themselves, proving to be one of the best, if not the best, protein sources for post-workout, without gastric overload, as well as for clinical issues related to malabsorption, parenteral nutrition, and neonatal nutrition. For those seeking optimized muscle recovery/reconstruction, these are a surefire support for even the most demanding athlete.

   What are the benefits of PeptoBol PeptoPro®** ?**
   If we want to combine one of the best discoveries in nutritional supplementation with the delicate needs of the athlete seeking to make recovery as efficient as possible, the best form of protein currently on the market that satisfies in terms of "anabolic" power while avoiding the digestion process that other proteins must go through is undoubtedly hydrolyzed casein (Peptopro®?), which we were the first to introduce to the European sports supplement market with PeptoBol. This protein format, based on approximately 80% Di- and Tri-Peptides with a size under 300 Daltons (which makes them hypoallergenic), is superior (we're talking about 3 times) in terms of absorption and bioavailability compared to even free-form amino acids, using a specific "preferential" intracellular transport mechanism. It also avoids digestive processes (therefore energy expenditure and the subtraction of fluids/blood from the muscles), thus surpassing any other protein or amino acid form in terms of speed and bioavailability at a time when SPEED and EFFICIENCY OF ABSORPTION are still PRIORITY, but at a time when the body is not ready for "digestive commitments". The same L-Leucine contained in hydrolysates is even more rapidly available. The most important amino acid for promoting protein synthesis is absorbed much more efficiently than the free form, being in the form of a small peptide. Initially criticized for its terrible flavor, which we didn't want to manipulate, it was later appreciated for its absolute purity (hard to find on the market today). Although you can find "good" casein hydrolysates, they aren't a real source of hydrolysates or have been excessively refined with various sweeteners/flavorings, compromising the absolute value of this type of protein preparation. Its high proline content determines the "bitter" flavor of the resulting peptides, which can't be significantly altered, even by adding carbohydrates or flavored drinks. "Amino acid-wise," we may have several "good performance cars," but if we're looking for the Formula 1 of proteins/amino acids, PeptoBol is a complete protein with superior "plastic-anabolic" power in terms of protein synthesis potential, ideal for use during the pre-workout and post-workout periods. This is the best choice!

   Why aren't they flavored?

   A “legacy” provided to the sports world by clinical and infant nutrition, hydrolyzed caseins thanks to very particular enzymatic hydrolysis processes, from a technical-scientific point of view, the hydrolyzed caseins contained in PeptoBol PeptoPro® are among the best forms of protein supplement ever since they are characterized by a very high concentration (70-80%) of di- and tri-peptides with a molecular weight under 300 Daltons, dimensions very different from "whole" proteins such as those of whey isolate or concentrate, or from solid foods characterized instead by long chains, which require digestion to be dismantled (and by the potential allergenic... see where the "hydrolysates" originate...). The literature clearly demonstrates the action and benefits of protein hydrolysates in the clinical and sports fields.
   This characteristic, which makes them so unique in terms of rapid absorption and bioavailability, means that this blend is extraordinarily soluble due to the enzymatic hydrolysis of milk casein, but it is also characterized by a very bitter and even “unpleasant” palatability and the possibility of foaming when the powder is mixed into the liquid. Ironically, this is a “boast” of the purity of the product , given that the characteristic note is well proportional to the degree of hydrolysis achieved by the splitting of the polypeptide chains and has always been a limit to its use, even in the nutritional-pediatric field where they originate.

   We remind you that any addition of various "flavourings and sweeteners" will NEVER completely change the perception of the bitter taste, but it still risks altering its concentration/purity .

   Some brands are also "abundant" in sodium. In practical terms for the athlete, casein hydrolysates (according to studies) are at least 30% more effective in stimulating muscle protein synthesis than intact casein, and if we combine this with their extraordinary absorption capacity, there's no doubt that they have always been defined The ideal protein choices for peri-intra-post workout consumption ... even better if combined with carbohydrate sources like cyclodextrins, so we'll have an unparalleled boost in accelerating muscle recovery, glycogen storage, and protein synthesis (here 3+3=9). Casein hydrolysates are also more insulinogenic than whey proteins for example (due to a different amino acid profile), a quality that "marries" well in the peri-workout period, taking advantage of maximum muscle hyperemia... which, thanks to the muscle contractions themselves, will be put in the best conditions to access precious nutrients to the muscle cells.
