Research On Vitamin Supplement L-Arginine Articles & Resources

The exclusive protein blend in Pro Complex[TM] includes Ion-Exchange Whey Protein Isolates, Cross-Flow Microfiltered Whey Protein Isolates, Ultrafiltered Whey Protein Concentrate, Egg Albumen, Hydrolyzed Whey Peptides, and Glutamine Peptides. 55 grams of this high quality protein blend available in every serving!

The best -- hands down.

Pro Complex[TM] has always been considered a premium protein supplement because only the most advanced technological processes are used to isolate, concentrate, and selectively modify the milk and egg protein in Pro Complex[TM]. Pro Complex[TM] has been helping people (from people who lift to just look and feel good to top competitive bodybuilders) build and maintain muscle since 1995. Over the years the formula has been modified to keep it at the leading edge of the rapidly evolving supplement industry. Now the protein-specific enzyme system Aminogen[R] and Splenda[R] -- the no calorie sweetener that tastes more like sugar (because it's made from sugar) are included in Pro Complex[TM] and it is being appropriately recognized as a leader in this new APS category.

So what makes Pro Complex[TM] so special?

1) The multi-protein blend that includes:

Ion-Exchange Whey Protein Isolate (IE)

IE's contain a lot of protein. 97- 98% of the weight of Ion-Exchanged Isolate powder is pure protein! This method of separating protein from a variety of undesirables (. fat, cholesterol, lactose, etc.) requires highly specialized equipment and is very expensive to produce so you'll only find it in the most premium supplements.

Cross Flow Microfiltered Whey Protein Isolate (CFM)

CFM protein contains more beneficial protein microfractions than other isolated proteins because it more closely resembles the original structure of whey, as it is naturally in milk (less denatured). This also gives CFM isolate a better mineral profile (including more calcium and less sodium) than other isolates.

Ultrafiltered Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC)

A growing body of research suggests that protein microfractions, which are found in whey, may play a meaningful role in regulating mood, appetite, and maintaining a healthy immune system. WPC contains an abundance of many valuable microfractions such as [alpha]-Lectalbumin, [beta]-Lactoglobulin, Glycomacropeptides, Immunoglobulins, Lactoferrin, and Lactoperoxidase.

Egg Albumen

Nutritionists consider egg whites (Egg Albumen) the "Gold Standard of Protein" because of the wide variety of amino acids that they provide. Egg Albumen has long been valued by the bodybuilding community for its "anti-catabolic" qualities. Egg Albumen is rich in L-Arginine and Sulfur Containing Amino Acids (SCAA's) such as L-Cystine and L-Methionine that are not available in comparable concentrations in other protein sources.

Hydrolyzed Whey Peptides (HWP's)

In terms of bioavailability, these are recognized as the best whey proteins money can buy. HWPs are short chains of amino acids (di-, tri-, polypeptides) that are produced by using enzymes to strategically digest specific bonds in whey protein. Preliminary research suggests that HWP's are more easily absorbed than almost any other protein. Hydrolyzed Whey Peptides are a particularly abundant source of naturally occurring L-Tryptophan, L-Glutamine, L-Glutamic Acid, and Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's).

Glutamine Peptides (GPs)

Glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid (CEAA) that makes up 60% of the free amino acids in skeletal muscle. It is well recognized throughout the athletic community for its positive effects on growth hormone, testosterone, cell volumization, immunity, and protein synthesis in muscle. More recently, researchers have shown a potential link between the size of the Glutamine 'pool' and the rate of protein synthesis in muscle. Glutamine Peptides are recognized to be the most bioavailable form of Glutamine available and are estimated to be absorbed at a rate that is approximately double that of equivalent amounts of free form L-Glutamine. Each serving of Pro Complex [TM] provides over 5,000 mg (5 grams) of Glutamine from a combination of naturally occurring protein sources and extremely absorbable Glutamine Peptides.

2) Added Nutrients

Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's)

Every serving of Pro Complex [TM] contains over 13,000 mg (13 grams) of BCAAs. BCAA's (Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine) are the only amino acids that can be used for energy (metabolized) directly in muscle tissue. In fact, they may provide as much as 15% of your total energy during extended workouts! An adequate amount of BCAA's in your body before and after training helps delay fatigue, guards against training-induced muscle breakdown, and shortens recovery periods.

Aminogen [R]

It has often been said, 'you are what you eat." A more accurate statement is "you are what you absorb" and that is precisely why we have added Aminogen[R] to the already unprecedented protein combination found only in Pro Complex [TM] Aminogen [R] is a patented enzyme system that liberates free form amino acids from protein containing foods and supplements. Controlled laboratory studies using Aminogen [R] have shown this compound to have the ability to release up to 42% more free form amino acids from intact proteins! Aminogen [R] may also increase the anti-catabolic properties of whey protein by increasing the circulation time of amino acids inside the body. Bottom line? Substantially more bang for your protein buck!

Vitamins and Essential Minerals

To further support the needs of hard training athletes, Pro Complex [TM] is fortified with 15 vitamins and essential minerals with special attention paid to delivering significant amounts of antioxidants and electrolytes.

3) Versatility

Even with all this in every serving, Pro Complex [TM] is surprisingly delicious. Plus it is versatile, quick, and simple to use. You can mix 1, 2, or even 3 scoops (if you desire a lot of protein) with water in shaker bottle to bump up your protein intake. Or add skim milk, juice, fruit, or-nut butters (to add more protein, carbohydrates, and/or healthy fats) in a blender for a convenient meal replacement.
