Lactoferrin has been shown to protect against oxidative damage and to eliminate the attachment of bacteria to the gut wall, thus reducing the probability of infections. Additionally, the quality electrolyte and mineral balance in the Performance Protein may help improve an athlete s recovery time and allow for proper electrolyte balance. The UDA protein in Performance Protein has also been proven to contain the most optimum level of key amino acids for muscle growth and overall health. Included are essential branch-chain amino acids, like isoleucine and leucine. Isoleucine helps prevent muscle wasting and also aids the formation of hemoglobin in the bloodstream.
Leucine helps reduce muscle protein breakdown.
Anther essential amino acid, lysine, is a factor in bone growth and development and connective tissue growth and healing. Glutamate is important for bodybuilders wanting to prevent catabolism as well as improve immune function. Furthermore, a study done at the University of Guelph s School of Human Biology in Ontario, Canada showed that supplementing with approximately 4 grams of branch-chain amino acids, such as the kind in UDA protein, during and after training, can significantly reduce muscle breakdown or catabolism. The unique effects of specially processed whey protein are believed to stimulate the body s production of glutathione, a substance important in finding and neutralizing destructive and catabolic free radicals. Performance Protein is instantized to mix easily with a spoon when combined with water, milk, or juice.
