Product features Protein Pro - ProAction

Product features: the product in question offers very pure egg white proteins, concentrated for about 80%, dried, mixed and flavored, with the addition of a vitamin mixture and sweetened with sucralose.

Egg protein : the egg, and in particular the egg white, are an excellent source of proteins of very high biological value and particularly complete as regards the amino acid profile. Naturally rich in branched chain amino acids and arginine, the powdered proteins extracted from the albumen guarantee very high protein concentrations, even higher than 80%, with a percentage of fat that hardly reaches 1%. Although the amino acid profile is very close to that of milk protein whey, with a decidedly higher share of arginine, the kinetic properties of digestion and absorption seem closer to those of caseins. Compared to 97% absorption capacity, therefore to a very high bioavailability of absorbable amino acids that can be used for plastic and reconstructive purposes, ovalbumin and ovo globulins have rather slow gastric emptying times, which guarantee a continuous and gradual supply of amino acids .

Several studies seem to demonstrate how this absorption pattern can translate into a series of advantages for the athlete during sports performance, significantly reducing muscle proteolysis and saving tissue amino acids from inevitable oxidation: a feature that seems to be confirmed by a marked reduction in markers of muscle damage, such as lactic dehydrogenase or creatine kinase. In addition to this effect, which would be guaranteed by the pre-workout administration of these proteins, the various studies also associate protein integration:

  • a potential immunoprotective effect, which would protect the athlete from the physiological immune decline following periods of intense training and which would be explained by some amino acids, such as glutamine;
  • a potential energy effect: associated both with gluconeogenic amino acids, probably responsible for the increased insulin secretion, and with BCAAs, which would represent an important energy source especially during endurance sports;
  • a potential plastic and reconstructive effect: guaranteed by the increased availability of substrates necessary for protein synthesis;
  • a potential anabolic effect: explained in part thanks to the inducing action on beta cells, concretized in the increased insulin secretion, and partly thanks to the modulation of the intracellular signal, with activation of a series of transcription factors, such as mTor, capable of directly promote protein synthesis.

Suggested use by the company - Protein Pro - ProAction

Mix 3 scoops = 30 g of product with 100 - 150 ml of water or other liquid of your choice. Take one serving a day away from main meals and at least one hour before training or competitions.

Use in sports - Protein Pro - ProAction

Several are the supplementary protocols proposed by the various studies present in the literature, elaborated also according to the objectives set by the athletes. However, in order for supplementation to produce some real benefit, limiting potential side effects, it is necessary to establish the protein content to be supplemented, correlating it with the type of physical activity performed and the athlete's physiological, nutritional and dietary status. In particular, the egg proteins, given the peculiar amino acid profile and the absorption spectrum very similar to that of casein, adapt perfectly both to pre-workout administration, guaranteeing protection of the muscular structures, and to the subsequent recovery phase, where guaranteeing a gradual and prolonged release of amino acids, they can sustain the subsequent anabolic phase. It is very important, in both cases, to associate at least one additional carbohydrate source with the protein supplement, preferably:

low glycemic index in pre-workout, so as to ensure a gradual release of energy;

medium-high glycemic index in the post work out, to stimulate insulin secretion, important both to facilitate glycogen resynthesis and to support protein synthesis.

Sinergie - Protein Pro - ProAction

Proteins + antioxidants: the combination of antioxidants seems to enhance the protective effect of proteins during intense physical activity.

Protein + CHO: seems to be the most effective combination ever. In the pre-race, properly combined and choosing the most suitable source, carbohydrates can sustain the performance and improve the energy properties of the muscle; in post-work out, on the other hand, they can optimize the recovery and growth process.

Protein + Creatine: always combined with carbohydrates, taken in the post work out, they seem to improve the increase in lean mass, even if not all the studies agree.

Side Effects Protein Pro - ProAction

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.

Precautions for use Protein Pro - ProAction

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.
