Improve Athletic Performance: Faster and More Complete Recuperation
June 9, 2010 – 2:07 pm | No Comment

Fast and complete recuperation are two of the most important elements of improving your athletic performance – especially if you run a hard training schedule. Faster recuperation means you don’t fall behind: you can fit more training sessions in, and you’re not out of commission for a week or two after a big event. More complete recuperation means your training sessions will be more productive: you’re body is stronger and more fully healed, ready to push harder. And if you can train harder and more often without suffering the negative consequences of over training, your performance will improve, along with your general well-being.

The Benefits of BioActive Proteins to Sports Athletes

Submitted by Madeleine on November 27, 2009 – 10:05 amOne Comment

sports-cycleIt’s almost too good to be true – a product that helps build muscle, repair tissue at an accelerated pace, is eight times stronger than whey protein, and helps you recover faster from your workouts! All this plus helping athletes and bodybuilders give their immune systems the boost they need.

To summarize the benefits in bullet point form, the benefits of bioactive proteins found in Protein Extreme Energy include:

  • boosts and strengthens the immune system
  • gets more amino acids into muscle cells throughout the body
  • promotes muscle tissue growth, regeneration, and strengthening
  • initiates the transport of nucleic acids into the cell nucleus, where the DNA resides
  • provides the raw material needed to repair damage to the DNA and initiate cell division
  • supports reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines
  • helps in post-exercise recovery
  • beneficial in repairing extreme muscle rips

From these points you can see why serious athletes and body builders nationwide have been incorporating Protein Extreme Energy into their daily regime.

How will Protein Extreme Energy help me build muscle?

Protein Extreme Energy offers a supply of high quality bioactive protein, and helps to maintain a positive nitrogen balance, essential for the retention of dietary protein. Combined with weight training, Protein Extreme Energy allows you to build muscle quickly and easily.

Why not just use whey powder?

In addition to being fifteen times stronger than whey protein isolate, containing 45% Immunoglobulin G as opposed to whey protein isolate’s 3% level, Protein Extreme Energy is far more bio-available because it is the only protein source that does not require high temperatures for raw material to be made. This means the un-altered amino acid sequences found in Protein Extreme Energy are far more digestible than those found in whey protein isolate, not to mention far stronger with eight times more IGF-1 and other immunoglobulin. This leads to a significant increase in your level of protein synthesis and nitrogen retention that allows your body to use more of the protein you eat and allows it to remain usable for a longer period of time.

This puts your body in the most anabolic state it has ever been in.

The only two times in your life that your body has had elevated levels of immunoglobulin was if you were breast fed as an infant and when your body transitioned from adolescence to adulthood. It takes a healthy adult approximately one full day for their body to produce the amount of immunoglobulin that is made available within just six hours of having a scoop of Protein Extreme Energy.

What is a positive nitrogen balance in the body?

This simply means that less protein is excreted from the body than is consumed. Protein loss occurs primarily through urine, though it can be lost through all other bodily fluids, including sweat, fecal matter, saliva, menstruation and ejaculation. A positive nitrogen balance allows the body to retain the protein inputted through diet and utilize it in synthesizing new tissue – building up your muscles.

I am an athlete/bodybuilder, why should I be worried about my immune system?

It has long been known that during intensive physical activity and training, the immune system is suppressed, thus rendering the athlete more vulnerable to infection. This immuno-suppressant effect lingers for hours after a workout, causing further exposure to harmful bacteria and viruses abundant in our environment, with few defenses to prevent them from wreaking havoc.

How does Protein Extreme Energy boost my immune system?

Protein Extreme Energy is a unique product designed to boost the immune system in a way that no other supplement can. It is a source of natural antibodies and also provides a supply of both immunomodulatory and growth-promoting peptides, essential components of any serious athlete or body builder’s regime. These include Immunoglobulins (IgG), Insulin Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1), and Transforming Growth factor-beta (TGFB).

So which component does what, exactly?

IgG, a type of Immunoglobulin, is proven to protect against pathogens, thus relieving strain on the immune system.

IGF-1, or Insulin Growth Factor-1, has been demonstrated to augment the transport of amino acids into muscle cells throughout the body, regenerating, strengthening, and growing these tissues after workout. It is produced primarily in the liver through the conversion of Human Growth Hormone (HGH). HGH, secreted by the pituitary gland, is essential for growth and optimal immune system performance. European researchers have established that IGF-1 is responsible for initiating the transport of nucleic acids into the cell nucleus, where the DNA resides, thus providing the raw material needed to repair damage to the DNA and initiating cell division.

In a recent study (unpublished) it has been observed through laboratory analysis that the concentration of IGF-I in Protein Extreme Energy is not different from the concentration of IGF-I already present in human serum.  A similar concentration of IGF-I in the product compared to normal human serum has these advantages: 1) No expected change in the way the product would influence normal, healthy cells than would normal serum;  and, 2) For damaged tissue, IGF-I at normal levels in serum has been shown to have a positive effect on the repair process.   The study completed on this topic by measuring IGF-I concentrations in healthy adults in a clinical trial and observed no change in circulating IGF-I levels.

TGFB, or Transforming Growth factor-beta is anti-inflammatory, helps in post-exercise recovery, and is beneficial in repairing extreme muscle rips.

How much Protein Extreme Energy should I take?

For best results, drink one scoop of Protein Extreme Energy mixed with 8-12 oz. of  cold water upon waking and one scoop of Protein Extreme Energy as a post workout drink.  In addition, drink approximately sixteen ounces of water within thirty minutes and one ounce for every two pounds of body weight throughout the rest of your day.

Why do I need to drink water?

All protein pulls water from your system, which can cause dehydration and further lead to gas, fever, nausea and diarrhea. The protein in Protein Extreme Energy has a very high rate of absorption and adequate water intake is crucial for ensuring the best results are obtained.
