When you exercise intensely, tiny tears appear in your muscle cell membranes – this is called cellular microtrauma, and basically means your muscle tissue becomes damaged. If your body doesn’t receive the nourishment it needs for muscle repair, you risk sore muscles and recuperation is delayed or remains incomplete.

How can you, as a serious athlete, address muscle fatigue, sore muscles and muscles in need of repair?

Bioactive proteins, known as immunoglobulins, are scientifically known to help support muscle repair. These bioactive proteins, as found in Protein Extreme Energy, are fifteen times stronger than whey protein isolate, containing 45% Immunoglobulin G as opposed to whey protein isolate’s 3% level, 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 are far more digestible than those found in whey protein isolate.

But what does all of this mean to muscle repair? All of 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. The more protein retained by and used by your body, the greater the level of muscle repair in your body.

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.

This bioactive proteins have been demonstrated to augment the transport of amino acids into muscle cells throughout the body, regenerating, strengthening, repairing and growing these tissues after working out. 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 this bioactive protein 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.

Transforming Growth factor-beta found in Protein Extreme Energy is anti-inflammatory, helps in post-exercise recovery, and is beneficial in repairing extreme muscle rips.

As a serious athlete you desire the ability to support faster muscle repair to enable faster recovery times.
