Ingredients
Hydrolysed Casein Protein
Casein protein is a slow-digesting form of amino acids derived from cow’s milk.
It is a slower digesting protein form than whey protein, delivering a more sustained amino acid release (1).
The hydrolysation process breaks the amino acids into readily digestible units.
Branch Chain Amino Acids
The three branch chain amino acids, leucine, valine and iso-leucine, are anabolic triggers that stimulate muscle repair and growth (2).
L-Arginine
Arginine is an amino acid that boosts nitric oxide levels to enhance the pump effect when working out.
It will also speed up the delivery of amino acids to the muscle cell (3).
Glutamine
Glutamine speeds up the transportation of nitrogen to the muscle cell, which is vital to muscle growth (4).
Working out exhausts muscle glutamine levels, so getting a good supply post workout is very important.
