Product features Nutrisoy - Syform
Product features: the proteins in question are extracted from soy using a protocol known as SUPRO, patented by the Solae company. This particular extraction technique guarantees a high nutritional quality, which makes supro soy proteins particularly suitable for sports use.
Soy proteins: they are proteins of vegetable origin, extracted from the seeds of a plant belonging to the legume family. While representing the most complete proteins present in the plant world, compared to other protein sources such as egg, milk or meat, soy proteins are slightly deficient in the two sulfur amino acids, methionine and cysteine. Despite this they maintain a high value if classified according to the PDCAAS method, which evaluates the quality of the proteins taking into account:
- of the amino acid profile for essential amino acids;
- of digestive processes;
- the ability to meet the nutritional needs of infants between 2 and 5 years (phase of life characterized by the maximum demand in proteins).
Very important, for the purpose of a correct understanding and evaluation of the product, is to distinguish the extract of soy protein from the whole legume, as it is characterized by a decidedly different composition in terms of nutrients and phytochemicals, which could therefore negatively affect the applications in sports field. In fact, whole soy is characterized by the presence of phytoestrogens, substances with estrogen-like action that are very important for the protective action against cardiovascular, bone and metabolic risk, but not particularly indicated in sports; the whole seed also contains significant amounts of phytates, with their important prebiotic action, but capable of significantly reducing the absorption of some trace elements. Naturally, just as it is possible to avoid the presence of potential "collateral" effects for the bodybuilider, it is necessary to consider the absence of all those beneficial, or presumed, effects associated with the presence of such compounds.
Soy proteins and sports: despite due to the reduced presence of some essential amino acids, soy proteins have long been underestimated by the sports world, recent studies and old evidences have re-evaluated these products, which are now particularly important for all those vegan, intolerant subjects lactose or allergic to milk or egg proteins.
From a purely practical and necessity issue, the potential benefits ascribable to the intake of these proteins have been considered, which seem to fully reproduce the effects demonstrated for those of animal origin. Several studies have been carried out in this regard, and in most cases it is concluded that soy proteins guarantee the same effects observed for whey proteins:
- increase in lean mass;
- improvement of the athlete's anaerobic abilities;
- improvement of athlete's anaerobic performance.
Furthermore, beneficial effects were also observed in terms of health:
- anti-inflammatory activity: a significant reduction in the levels of some inflammatory cytokines such as IL6 was noted, following intense physical exercise;
- distribution action: some studies conducted on menopausal women show a significant decrease in the levels of subcutaneous and abdominal adipose tissue, with a consequent reduction in cardiovascular risk;
- hormonal action: there has been an increase in levels of thyroid hormones (in particular T4), and a reduction in the urinary secretion of alkaline phosphatase (index of damage induced by intense physical exercise).
Vitamin B6: also known as pyridoxine, it is transformed and phosphorylated in the liver into pyridoxal phosphate, an important coenzyme involved in numerous key reactions of amino acid metabolism (transamination and oxidative deamination), lipid (sphingolipid synthesis) and glucidic.
It is therefore easy to understand the usefulness of this vitamin in supporting the correct oxidation and transamination of branched chain amino acids, necessary to guarantee its metabolic-nutritional action.
The daily requirement of vitamin B6 is around 1 / 1.5 mg, but even in this case the deficient episodes are very rare.
Vitamin B2: also known as riboflavin, is absorbed in the intestine, after having been dephosphorylated. By binding to albumin but also to Ig, it reaches the liver, where it is transformed into the coenzymatic forms FMN and FAD. These two prosthetic groups, essential for the general metabolism, are part of the process of oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate, in the krebs cycle, in the B-oxidation of fatty acids, in the oxidation of amino acids and in oxidative phosphorylation.
The recommended daily dose is 0.6mg per 1000 kcal introduced with the diet.
Vitamin B1: also known as thiamine, once introduced through the diet (very present in whole grains, legumes, brewer's yeast) it is absorbed in the intestine (duodenal) and distributed to various tissues. Here it undergoes a double process of phosphorylation, giving rise to TPP (thiamine pyrophosphate), which is part of the oxidative decarboxylation process, together with lipoic acid and CoA supporting the functionality of pyruvate dehydrogenase in the Krebs cycle, and thus allowing the passage from α - Succinyl CoA ketoglutarate; vitamin B1 also intervenes in the pentose phosphate cycle, thus ensuring an optimization of energy processes.
Its requirement is about 0.4 / 0.8 mg per 1000 kcal introduced.
Recommended use by the company - Nutrisoy - Syform
Take 30 grams a day, equal to 3 level measuring spoons, dissolved in 250 ml of water, fruit juice or other liquid, preferably away from the main meals.
Use in sports - Nutrisoy - Syform
As described for milk or egg proteins, there is no standard daily quota that can be effective for all sportsmen. The amount of protein to be supplemented in the form of specific supplements must be strictly calculated based on the nutritional, athletic and dietary needs of the athlete, in order to avoid side effects and reduce their effectiveness. For all these reasons it is necessary to consider the quantity recommended by the company as a general indication, which must necessarily be reviewed in light of the considerations just made.
As for the studies present in the literature, these use dosages ranging from 0.5 g / kg / day to 1.5 g / kg / day, divided into different assumptions that last for several weeks; beneficial effects on body composition are however observed already after only 4 weeks.
In any case, it would be advisable to alternate soy proteins, also proteins of another origin, in order to make the nutritional and dietary profile of one's diet as varied and complete as possible.
From the sporting point of view, instead, one should prefer the intake of these proteins in the pre-workout (at least an hour before), accompanying them to a source of medium-low glycemic index carbohydrates, in order to support the subsequent performance. In post work out, on the other hand, soy proteins should be associated with a source of medium to high glycemic index carbohydrates, in order to facilitate the restoration of muscle glycogen stocks and support the anabolic phase typical of this moment.
Nutrisoy - Syform side effects
Known are the long-term side effects of a diet too rich in proteins or amino acids; renal damage, dehydration induced by increased urinary secretion, hepatic or renal distress, lipidemic alterations and related associated pathologies, tissue acidosis and bone demineralization, are just some of the consequences of an unbalanced diet over time. Among the harmful effects derived from a diet too rich in proteins, there is certainly also the increase of adipose tissue induced by the complex metabolic crossroads responsible for the energy-functional coordination of the organism.
In addition to the typical effects of excessive protein intake, it should be noted that in the literature other side effects are described, such as the reduction of thyroid function, the teratogenic action on the fetus and the alteration of the absorption of some drugs. However, these effects seem to be associated with excessive consumption of whole legume rather than supplementation with soy protein powder.
Precautions for use Nutrisoy - Syform
The product is contraindicated in cases of renal or hepatic disease, cardiovascular disease and / or hypertension, allergies and autoimmune diseases, during pregnancy, during breastfeeding, under 12 years and for adolescents not yet trained.
In the event of prolonged use (over 6/8 weeks), medical advice is required.
