250% Greater Growth Than Free-Form Amino Acids*
Absorbed faster, utilized better, and produces 250 percent greater muscle growth than free-form amino acids.*
BCAA Structured Peptides includes 1175 mg of leucine, by far the most important amino acid for lifters and athletes. Leucine has a 10 times greater impact on protein synthesis than any other amino acid.*
Leucine essentially "turns on" muscle protein synthesis which stimulates muscle growth. Leucine is unique in its ability to stimulate skeletal muscle protein synthesis.*
Biotest Structured Peptides are produced from peptide enhanced whey-protein isolate, utilizing a three-step process:
Whey-protein isolate is hydrolyzed into very small peptide forms using selective enzymes to break apart targeted leucine peptide and BCAA-peptide bonds.*
Afterward, small peptide formations are extracted from the hydrolyzed whey by passing the mixture through a series of filters, ending with nanofiltration.*
Next, the nano-mixture undergoes a final reaction phase to further enhance its total leucine and BCAA content.*
The end result is a highly refined mixture of leucine and BCAA di- and tripeptides that provides the body with the greatest effects from leucine/BCAA supplementation.*
Unlike regular free-form amino acids, the uptake of di- and tripeptides is achieved through a very specific, high-capacity intestinal transporter (PEPT-1), which can lead to a larger and more rapid spike in blood levels of these crucial anabolic signals.*
There are several effective usage protocols to choose from:
Consume one scoop (5 grams) with meals.
Consume between meals for accelerated recovery and enhanced protein synthesis.*
Add to any protein shake to "spike" the anabolic effects.*
Consume one serving before bed to facilitate recovery from training.*
Take one serving before and after workouts to support an anabolic stimulus and reduce perceived effort and mental fatigue during prolonged exercise.*
Use during strict fat-loss diets to prevent muscle loss (catabolism) and metabolism slowdown.*
