Product Features GymLine Muscle Soy Power - Enervit

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.

To complete and improve the amino acid profile, the manufacturer has decided to add branched chain amino acids, thus optimizing their application in the sports sector and guaranteeing a useful protein content of over 80%. Also noteworthy is the very high content of Arginine, significantly higher than that found in whey protein supplements.

Soy proteins - very present in the oriental diet, they are slowly carving out an important space also in the western diet. Being of vegetable proteins, they have an amino acid spectrum comparable to that of other legumes, therefore characterized by a reduced level of one or more essential amino acids, in this case sulfur dioxide (cysteine ​​and methionine). Unlike other legumes, however, soy proteins have a more balanced pattern of essential amino acids and a greater bioavailability of the same. These two characteristics account for the good biological value, and a comparable protein quality - according to the PDCAAS method - to that of animal proteins.

Soybean and its derivatives have entered into the Western diet with arrogance, due to their marked diet-therapeutic properties, responsible for the cholesterol-lowering action, preventive of cardiovascular risk, protective of the nervous system, anti-osteoporotic, antioxidant and anti-tumor. All these benefits, documented in the literature, derive from the presence of some compounds with phytotherapeutic action, such as soy lecithin and primary isoflavones, such as genistein and daidzein.

Despite these potential effects associated with the consumption of legume in its entirety, soybean and in particular its proteins have been received by the world of sports dietetics with a widespread and unjustified skepticism. One of the main fears that dissuaded athletes from resorting to soy-based protein supplements, was determined by the popular belief that the phytoestrogen content, ie natural products with hormone-like action comparable to that of estrogen, could adversely affect the hormonal profile, reducing testosterone secretion and increasing estrogenic effects.

The scientific world has responded to these fears with a series of publications, which show how proteins derived from soy do not affect the hormonal profile at all. In addition, their integration guarantees the same anabolic effects as animal proteins or whey.

Consequently, while the introduction of soy-based foods is today indicated in menopausal women and patients with manifest cardiovascular risk, there is no evidence to show an alteration of the hormonal profile in athletes who also use soy protein powder every day .

Soy proteins in sports dietetics: once the false beliefs about the possible estrogenic effects have been denied, soy proteins have fully returned among the most used protein supplements by athletes of various disciplines. The use of these proteins has become particularly important for individuals subjected to various types of milk or egg allergies or for those who, by choice, prefer not to consume products of animal origin, thus being able to ensure the correct protein intake without having to resort to excessive consumption of legumes and encountering related side effects.

In addition to the actual usefulness, the presence of various studies in the literature has justified the use of these proteins in the common integrative practice, recording a series of beneficial effects for the "life" of the athletes, totally comparable to those observed for whey proteins, among which:

  1. Hypertrophic effect: the correct supplementation, combined with regular exercise, ensures a significant increase in lean mass;
  2. Adaptive effect: the integration with soy proteins has proved useful in ensuring a marked improvement in the anaerobic abilities of the athlete subjected to training;
  3. Ergogenic and anti-fatigue effect: pregation supplementation has allowed a decided lengthening of the exercise times conducted at 60% of the Vo2 Max, with a significant reduction in the sensation of fatigue.

Furthermore, several studies have described other potentially useful effects:

  1. Slimming effect: the substitution of part of the daily protein content with proteins of vegetable origin, significantly reduces the subcutaneous and abdominal adipose tissue;
  2. Anti-inflammatory effect: a reduction in inflammatory markers was observed following intense physical exercise.
  3. Hormonal effect: supplementation in female athletes has ensured a significant increase in thyroid hormone levels.

Although there are some studies in the literature that partially contradict these results, it is possible to consider soy proteins as high biological value proteins, which could be integrated into the Mediterranean diet, alternating them with protein sources of different origins.

Vitamin B6: introduced in supplements mainly in the form of pyridoxine hydrochloride, and present mainly in foods of animal origin, particularly in meat, it is absorbed at fasting level after dependent ATP hydrolysis, then transported to the liver conveyed to albumin. At the hepatic level it undergoes phosphorylation processes that transform it into the active form, known as pyridoxal phosphate. In this form, vitamin B6 is transported to the various tissues where it acts as a cofactor:

  1. Favoring glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis, increasing the availability of glucose;
  2. Supporting hormonal action;
  3. Facilitating the synthesis of other B vitamins, such as niacin;
  4. Guiding the synthesis of the EME group, it is necessary for hemoglobin to bind oxygen;
  5. Optimizing the oxidation and transamination processes of the various amino acids.

Suggested use by the company - GymLine Muscle Soy Power - Enervit

Dissolve the contents of three scoops (30 grams) in 200 ml of non-carbonated water using a shaker.

How to use in sports - GymLine Muscle Soy Power - Enervit

For protein integration to be really effective and not harmful, it must necessarily be adapted to the nutritional and athletic needs of the sportsman and his dietary plan. In fact, the daily protein content should be between gram / kg and 2gr / kg, depending on the type of physical activity performed. Therefore, it is not correct to consider the quantity suggested by the manufacturer as the optimal one for all athletes.

Although the optimal dose is strictly subjective, it is possible to define general indications derived from the careful critical reading of the various articles present in the literature, and from purely experiential considerations:

  1. Intake should be preferred between meals;
  2. To optimize muscle and body energy capacity, it would be optimal to take the protein content at least one hour before competition or training, accompanied by a source of medium-low glycemic index carbohydrates.
  3. To optimize the recovery phase and the synthesis of glycogen, it is advisable to associate a protein source with a medium to high glycemic index of carbohydrates, preferably within 40 minutes of training.

The studies present in the literature show a first benefit already after only 4 weeks from the beginning of the integrative practice.

Side Effects GymLine Muscle Soy Power - Enervit

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 GymLine Muscle Soy Power - Enervit

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.
