What is PeptoBol®? PeptoBol is a food supplement indicated for sportsmen who practice intense and prolonged physical activity. Casein hydrolysates (PeptoPro) are derived from casein (milk protein known for its slow digestion) subjected to hydrolysis, an artificial process of enzymatic digestion which involves the cleavage of the peptide bonds of proteins making them smaller molecules, called peptides that are digested and absorbed in the intestine faster, contributing to the processes of maintenance and growth of muscle mass, typical of proteins. The creation of "PeptoBol®", was by no means just a fad, but, typical of the Yamamoto® Nutrition philosophy, a scientifically proven choice. PeptoBol® is formulated with hydrolyzed caseins (PeptoPro®) and contains a high percentage (70/80%) of small di- and tripeptides that can quickly reach the bloodstream, ideal if not essential, for the delicate post-workout moment. PeptoBol® is pure hydrolyzed casein (PeptoPro®) without alterations given by flavors or sweeteners so as not to have any "pollution" to its particular characteristics. The Peptobol® line is based on its Peptopro® formulations, proteins derived from caseins enzymatically hydrolysed into small di-tripeptides for 70-80% which, being predigested, are much more rapidly absorbed than "intact" proteins, but also from the same amino acids in free form, thanks to a different (non-specific) transport carrier compared to the more specific (and "limiting") one used by those in free form. Extremely soluble in water, they are not to be considered a "shake" like those from other sources, they are an added value that science offers to those who want a boost to protein synthesis and optimal storage (if combined with carbohydrates) of glycogen. A technological "finesse" that makes available to the most demanding athlete the many peculiarities (proven in literature) that these hydrolysed blends offer: Di and tripeptides with more rapid "recovery ready" absorption, bearing in mind that in this way we provide the complete spectrum of amino acids of the complete protein in favor of maximum efficiency in the synthesis of new proteins; The volume of the elements is so small as to be considered a preparation that is not only highly digestible but hypoallergenic (so much so that it is used more and more in milk for infants); Reduction of post-workout doms with faster acceleration of recovery times (more decisive if combined with carbohydrates as in the RECHARGE version). *PERFORMANCE version with the addition of Sustamine®, the best bioavailable form (dipeptide) of glutamine *RECHARGE version with Cluster Dextrin® and Sustamine®, to have the ideal trio for the most efficient recovery to use in the intra and post-workout.

When to use PeptoBol®? They are not "proteins" to be used at any time of the day, but they are the "ideal" for certain times of the day if we want a better, faster and more efficient recovery. For all other "extra" situations the fateful and precious moment of the "periworkout" the protein sources must be other. For those seeking excellence in this respect and wanting to promote the fastest and most powerful structural restoration in terms of protein synthesis, protein hydrolysates (see from caseins, whey or salmon) are the most innovative but above all efficient choice. We can summarize the reason in a few points: 1. faster absorption than the already rapid isolated proteins favored by predigestion, bearing in mind that when they are found in the form of di and tripeptides they are unrivaled even with the same amino acids in free form, due to of specific “preferential” transport carriers. 2. “insulintropic” impact; 3. Versatility of use both before, during or after training also given the extreme solubility. They do not require particular gastrointestinal effort, and in a short time the amino acids are bioavailable in all their "anabolic" power in a "sacred" moment of need but which must not solicit the already inflamed organism with further efforts with consequent recalls of blood.

What justifies their price? Their price has been the worst enemy of their diffusion in the market, perhaps more than their taste, but hydrolysed caseins remain a special protein preparation. 80% of the peptides they contain are under 300 daltons,considering that the solid protein food or even the concentrated and isolated whey "relatives" are characterized by long chains of polypeptides. The PeptoPro® contained in PeptoBol® contain only short chains made up of a maximum of 4 amino acids, plus tripeptides, which means absolute solubility and digestibility also because these dimensions make them hypoallergenic. Therefore very fast gastrointestinal transit and very rapid absorption. The bad taste is a characteristic of absolute purity and there is no flavor or sweetener that can significantly mask the strong bitter taste, even when mixed with other flavored drinks. Since their placing on the market years ago, although much appreciated by top level athletes, we have been "criticized" by someone for choosing not to fill with additives to mask the taste. But as we keep saying, this would excessively alter the level of absolute quality of this special preparation of di- and tripeptides which exploit a faster intracellular transport route than any other protein source and of the same free-form amino acids which is revealed be one of the best, if not the best protein source for post-workout without gastric commitment, as well as for clinical problems of malabsorption, parenteral and neonatal nutrition. Those looking for an optimization of muscle recovery/reconstruction, these are an element of sure support for the most demanding athlete.

What are the advantages of PeptoBol®? If we want to combine one of the best discoveries in the field of food supplementation with the delicate needs of the athlete who seeks to make recovery as efficient as possible, the best protein form currently on the market that satisfies in terms of "anabolic" power avoiding the digestion process that other proteins must go through are undoubtedly hydrolysed caseins (Peptopro®) which we were the first to introduce on the European sports supplementation market through PeptoBol® . This protein format based on approximately 80% Di- and Tri-Peptides of dimensions below 300 Daltons (which makes them hypoallergenic), is superior (we are talking about 3 times) in terms of absorption and bioavailability compared to even amino acids in free form, using a specific "preferential" intracellular transport mechanism, in addition to avoiding digestive processes (therefore energy commitment and removal of liquids/blood from the muscles) thus surpassing any other protein or amino acid form in terms of speed and bioavailability in a moment in which RAPIDITY and EFFICIENCY OF ABSORPTION are btw PRIORITY, but in a moment in which the organism is not ready for "digestive commitments". The same L-Leucine contained in the hydrolysates appears to be even more rapidly available. The amino acid most important for promoting protein synthesis is absorbed much more efficiently than the free form, being in the form of a small peptide. Initially they were criticized for the bad taste which we didn't want to manipulate, to then be appreciated for the absolute purity (difficult to find on the market today) of the product, because if you can find "good" casein hydrolysates, they are not real source of hydrolysates or they have been excessively refined with sweeteners/various flavourings, compromising the absolute value of the protein preparation of this type, characterized by a high value of Proline which determines the "bitter" taste of the peptides obtained and which cannot be modified particularly , even if we add carbohydrates or flavored drinks. "Aminoacidly" speaking we can have several "good performing cars" but if we look for the Formula 1 of proteins/aminoacids, PeptoBol® are complete proteins, with a superior "plastic-anabolic" power in terms of power on protein synthesis to be included in the PRE period -DURING AND POST TRAINING.

This is the best choice! Why aren't they flavoured? Hydrolysed caseins are a “legacy” supplied to the sports world by clinical and newborn nutrition thanks to very special hydrolysis enzymatic processes. From a technical-scientific point of view, the hydrolysed caseins contained in PeptoBol® are among the absolute best forms of protein supplement since they are characterized by a very high concentration (70-80%) of di- and tri-peptides with a molecular weight below 300 Daltons, very different dimensions from "whole" proteins such as those of isolated or concentrated whey, or from solid foods characterized instead by long chains,that need to be digested in order to be dismantled (and with an allergenic potential...see where the "hydrolysates" come from...). The literature clearly demonstrates the action and benefits of protein hydrolysates in the clinical and sports fields. This characteristic that makes them so unique from the point of view of the rapidity of absorption and bioavailability means that this mixture is extraordinarily soluble due to enzymatic hydrolysis from milk casein, but also characterized by a very bitter palatability and yes, " unpleasant” and the possibility of foaming when mixing the powder into the liquid. Absurdly this is a "boast" to the purity of the product, given that the characteristic note is well proportional to the degree of hydrolysis achieved by the splitting of the polypeptide chains and has always been a limit to its use, even in the nutritional-pediatric field from where they are born. We remind you that any addition of various "flavorings and sweeteners" will NEVER completely change the perception of the bitter taste, however risking alternating its concentration/purity. Some brands are “overkill” in sodium as well. In practical terms for the athlete then, casein hydrolysates (from studies) are at least 30% more effective in stimulating muscle protein synthesis than intact casein, and if we combine the extraordinary absorption capacity, there is no arguing about the fact that have always defined them as the ideal protein choices for peri-intra-post workout consumption... even better if combined with carbohydrate sources such as cyclodextrins, so we will have an incomparable boost in muscle recovery acceleration, glycogen storage, protein synthesis here 3+3=9. Casein hydrolysates are also more insulinogenic than whey proteins, for example (due to a different amino acid profile), a quality that "marries" well in the peri-workout moment, exploiting the maximum muscle hyperemia ... which will already placed thanks to the muscle contractions themselves, in the best conditions to allow the precious nutrients to access the muscle cells.
