Protein synthesis
refine their production process
which can be clearly seen by the
development of whey proteins,
from concentrates came isolates
and then from isolates came
hydrolysates. More than that,
they have been extracting,
analysing and perfecting the
individual amino acids and amino
acid combinations to investigate
their effect on performance
and health. This continual
development has brought about
combinations that do everything
from improving muscle protein
synthesis to boosting immune
function and even excite specific
pathways to increase effects on
other bodily functions.
Why Supplement With
Bioactive Peptides
As with all supplements, the
idea of using them is to enhance
specific internal bodily actions
and functions by supplying it
with the ingredients it needs to
stimulate a particular function
through a specific pathway.
Because micro-concentrated
bioactive peptides are isolated
and extracted from a full protein,
they are able to specifically
target and activate the exact
sequence of events that cause
muscle protein synthesis. Instead
of trying to overload muscles
with large quantities of protein in
order to trigger a response, these
bioactive peptide combinations
are a direct signalling mechanism
which trigger muscle protein
synthesis itself.
A simple way to explain how
bioactive peptides work is to use
the analogy of yeast when baking
a loaf of bread. You put it all the
ingredients to make your bread,
and without yeast, you can still
make bread, however, if you add
yeast, your bread will rise and
become light and fluffy. In the
same way, if you train and eat
clean, you will achieve results;
but if you want to push your
gains to the max, including
a product that is specifically
engineered to enhance a specific
process like bioactive peptides is
a must.
Bioactive peptides can be
consumed at any time of the
day and although they are not a
direct substitute for whey protein
or individual amino acids, their
components are more powerful.
So by adding them to your whey
or BCAA shakes, you can create
a greater effect.
