Precision Protein

Precision Protein marks the beginning of a new era in whey-protein formulation and supplementation. For years, whey has been revered as the quality protein source for fitness enthusiasts and athletes. Boasting possibly the highest biological value of any naturally occurring protein, its reputation and popularity are well deserved. However, recent scientific evidence suggests the benefits of whey protein for athletes may go well beyond its ability to supply quality amino acids to hungry muscles.

Protein scientists have discovered that whey, in its natural state, contains a variety of bioactive compounds generally referred to as "protein microfractions." These powerful compounds may offer numerous positive biological effects to hard-training athletes, including: immune-system reinforcement, antioxidant protection, and even possible support of muscle-tissue repair and regeneration.

Isolation and stabilization of these fragile microfraction proteins is a very difficult and technical process. In the past, most of the methods of whey processing and isolation used extreme temperatures and acidic conditions, thus destroying these valuable microfractions. Only recently have new extraction techniques been developed and employed which may make it possible to isolate and stabilize protein microfractions in a finished whey-protein powder. The two most advanced techniques, known as ion exchange and ultrafiltration, are used in combination to create Precision Protein - a high quality, microfraction-rich whey protein.

In addition to Precision Protein's extraordinary microfraction profile, it's fortified with key amino acids, including: glutamine (in peptide form), taurine, and glycine, which may support cell volumizing and protein metabolism. The conditionally essential amino acid arginine has also been added to this formula to help support growth-factor production. And, the amino acid phenylalanine is included to reinforce the overall amino acid profile of the Precision Protein formula and boost its biological value.

Precision Protein is also the only whey-protein supplement available on the sports nutrition market which contains the patented proteolytic enzyme complex Aminogen®. This unique enzymatic compound has been shown in recent scientific research to possibly assist protein assimilation by creating protein peptides and preferentially liberating branched-chain amino acids from whole proteins.
