Iso-FUJI MICRO Volactive MCU-20 is the first supplement presented on the market based on whey protein isolate which boasts the use of the patented MCU-20 microencapsulation technology. Iso-FUJI MICRO Volactive MCU-20's unique technology sees for the first time the characteristics of premium quality whey protein isolates such as Volac Ultra Whey XP be extended and amplified both in terms of unrivaled solubility and bioavailability as well as more gradual release in time. An already excellent protein raw material that becomes something innovative and unique today. Thanks to the nanotechnologies of the MCU-20 microencapsulating transport system, today even protein macromolecules can increase their already high solubility and stability by being literally "protected", further improving their absorption, but above all, prolonging the release of the amino acid material into the blood stream for more time available for muscle reconstruction and growth. If the "limit" of a whey protein isolate with such a high biological value could be the "timing" of bioavailability with fast digestion times (30 minutes - 1 hour), which limit its use to only certain moments, with the MCU-20® microencapsulation process, the polypeptide chains are absorbed and released much more gradually in the hours following its ingestion, as if it were a "slower release" protein, but with all the "plus" of Volactive ULTRA WHEY XP, that we can use in a more versatile way during the day, thus keeping the amino acidemia more constant.

Over time Yamamoto Nutrition has become a true point of reference and international showcase for the launch of raw materials and new technologies, so to present this "special protein supplement", the raw material could only be Volactive Ultra Whey XP® , whey protein isolate by cross-flow ultrafiltration and microfiltration. Volac® is a reference point in the dairy and livestock production fields, as well as the largest producer of nutritional whey proteins for "Lifestyle" applications in Europe, which has earned a reputation as an absolute innovator in technology of production and in the development in the nutritional field, using fresh milk from cows not treated with hormones or antibiotics and without GMO. The range of Volactive products arises from the use of the most recent complex membrane and spray drying technologies which effectively stabilize the protein matter, reducing to an absolute minimum the denaturation of the proteins themselves, thus providing highly superior nutritional profiles compared to those obtained from less advanced. Volactive Ultra Whey XP Whey Protein Isolate is processed by cross-flow ultrafiltration and microfiltration to remove the major amounts of fat and lactose, presenting an average protein content of 90% (from the lows of 86-88% to higher), the microfiltration it is the most advanced process among those used for whey protein-based protein supplements, but it is also the one that is able to best preserve the presence of important bioactive elements that determine the quality of the protein itself, and which could often be missing in one in whey protein isolate which is 99% undenatured. Iso-FUJI® Micro Volactive MCU-20 is sweetened exclusively with Stevia.

What does Volactive UltraWhey XP certification and raw material mean? Volac® is a reference reality in the dairy and livestock production fields, as well as the largest producer of nutritional whey proteins for "Lifestyle" applications in Europe, which has earned a reputation as an absolute innovator in the production technology and development in the nutritional field. Volac's technical-scientific team draws on the company's 40-year heritage in whey processing and the use of state-of-the-art ultrafiltration techniques.

The Volactive product range arises from the use of the latest complex membrane and spray drying technologies that effectively stabilize the protein matter, reducing the denaturation of the proteins themselves to an absolute minimum, thus providing the obtainment of whey protein with highly superior nutritional profiles compared to other protein preparations obtained with other processing methods which compromise their stability."Volac officially certifies and guarantees the content of Yamamoto Nutrition proteins." Volactive UltraWhey XP is a high quality whey protein isolate.

Containing at least 92% whey protein, XP is ultrafiltered through a low-temperature, low-pressure process to create an extra pure whey protein ingredient with low lactose and fat. Volac is the largest producer of whey protein for lifestyle applications in Europe with a reputation for leading innovation in processing technology and nutritional development. Volac's technical team draws on the company's 40-year heritage in whey processing and its pioneering use of ultrafiltration techniques. The Volactive range is manufactured using the latest membrane drying and spray drying technologies to minimize protein denaturation and provide whey protein with superior nutritional profiles.

What is microencapsulation? Microencapsulation, already present in the world of food and pharmaceuticals, has today allowed an important breakthrough in the limits that conditioned the bioavailability of many molecules in the world of food supplements. The microencapsulation process from which MCU-20® is born is the result of an innovative technology that allows the maximization of the transport and relative absorption of the nutritional elements that we want to arrive unscathed and at the best of their bioavailability to maximize their effect. Many raw materials commonly used in the world of supplements have limitations of various kinds, starting with a possible degradation in the gastrointestinal tract due to "environmental" conditions or the poor solubility of the material, which can form precipitates that cannot be completely absorbed ( in the face of a considerable waste and economic cost).

What does the MCU-20 technology consist of? Thanks to the patented MCU-20 microencapsulation technique, the raw material is first dried rapidly without affecting the physico-chemical properties of the element, and then be fragmented into extremely small microgranules and then "trapped" in thin films of a microencapsulating agent, which will allow not only to protect and isolate the raw material, but also to be able to limit any unpleasant odours. Thanks to MCU-20, amino acids, which are characterized by low solubility and stability in water, have been allowed to enter a new era, whose luster of effectiveness is enhanced by being able to be made rapidly and completely soluble, without the formation of precipitates, for a much higher absorption.

What are the advantages? This technology has also been able to allow other raw materials typical of sports supplementation to be able to overcome the limits of oral absorption that they may present, from creatine to l-carnitine or arginine. Thanks to the MCU-20 technology, these elements, defined as "poorly absorbed", can demonstrate their effectiveness by bypassing environmental chemical or enzymatic limits, providing a protective and transport carrier to small microparticles. which will achieve a unique bioavailability.

Are you sure you are absorbing what you take? Active ingredients such as amino acids and derivatives are often partially absorbed. Just think of Glutamine, which is 60 - 80% absorbed by the intestine; the remaining part is too little to meet the needs of our muscles. With the MCU-20® microencapsulation technology, glutamine passes the gastrointestinal tract unscathed to be 100% absorbed. The same goes for Arginine where about 40% of the dose introduced orally is lost and degraded by gastric juices. Or the case of Creatine where the intestinal enterocytes are unable to absorb bulky micro-crystals of creatine. And taking creatine together with high glycemic index carbohydrates could be ideal for optimizing its absorption but counterproductive for those on a diet.This principle applies to many ingredients and the MCU-20 microencapsulation technology effectively guarantees 100% absorption of the active ingredients involved!
