NITRO-PEAK™
A Scientific Approach To Mastering Muscle Power Output

Brief Overview
The need for consuming protein to optimize muscle growth and repair has been long documented.  Research shows that in order to maximize your workout, you must consume proteins that stimulate muscle protein synthesis (the making of muscle).  You must also consume proteins that protect and keep your muscle (anti-catabolic).  Amino acids, especially branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and L-glutamine, are the most powerful nutrients of their kind with which to stimulate muscle protein synthesis and inhibit muscle protein catabolism. Glutamine makes up approximately 60% of skeletal muscle protein while the branched-chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine and valine) constitute approximately 35% of skeletal muscle protein. An increasing amount of literature suggests that these amino acids play the most significant role in stimulating protein synthesis and protecting your body from muscle protein breakdown. 

Research also shows that the digesting rate of protein is a critical regulator of muscle growth and muscle protection and that different proteins are better equipped at doing each.  It is this combination that is highly coveted in order to achieve peak muscle power output.  The major proteins in which to achieve different digestion rates as well as supply these most powerful amino acids to muscle tissue are the milk proteins, whey and casein which differ in very important aspects.

NITRO-PEAK™
# 1 Rated Protein Powder

THE NITRO-PEAK ADVANTAGE: To be a great athlete you need to be able to sustain high forces (strength) at high speeds. The combination (speed X strength) equals power. Bigger muscles can generate more power because they are capable of producing more force at a given speed. To make your muscles bigger, you must stimulate muscle protein synthesis. Amino acids, especially branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and L-glutamine, are the most powerful nutrients of their kind with which to stimulate muscle protein synthesis and inhibit muscle protein catabolism (breakdown). Every delicious serving of NITRO-PEAK promotes and protects bigger muscles with 24 grams of BCAA and L-glutamine rich proteins like Whey Isolate and Concentrate, Micellar Alpha, Beta and Kappa Caseins, Milk Protein Isolate and more. Scientists have found these proteins to be superior for building muscle size and strength. Driving the amino acids and nitrogen supplied by NITRO-PEAK full-blast into your body is a proprietary proteolytic enzyme system which has been proven to increase BCAA levels by a staggering 250%. Each serving contains a mere 2 g of fat and 2 g of sugar. The end result is that NITRO-PEAK protects and enhances your ability to produce speed X strength, or power. And when it comes to performance, power is what defines a great athlete.

Ingredient Blend # 1
ProNitro 7™:
Grade A Full Spectrum Bioactive Whey Protein Complex (containing Whey Protein Concentrate, Whey Protein Isolate with naturally occurring critical bioactive compounds including di, tri and oligo peptides, beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin, serum albumin, and immunoglobulins), Micellar Casein Phosphoprotein Complex (containing Alpha, Beta and Kappa Casein), Milk Protein Isolate (containing 80% Casein and 20% Whey protein fractions), Aminogen® Elite Amino Acid Spiking Polypeptide Complex [containing Aminogen® (Patented Protein Maximizing Enzyme Complex) and Proteolytic Enzymes].

Whey Protein Stimulates Protein Synthesis
Whey proteins have be shown to be far superior for muscle growth as they are rapidly absorbed, making them exceptionally valuable after a workout.  They are emptied from the stomach quickly, resulting in a rapid and large increase in amino acids in the blood.  It is this increase of amino acids that makes whey protein so unique as it sends signals to your body to increase the manufacturing of muscle tissue.  While whey protein is superior in this regard, it is important to understand that this positive effect leads to a short and limited supply of aminos and does not stop long term muscle protein loss.

Milk Protein Isolate Bridges The Gap
Milk Protein Isolate is a medium rate digesting protein with a natural combination of whey and casein protein. It takes longer to raise blood amino acid levels than whey protein and also drops slower.  Its release rate falls right in between whey and casein and then continues in line with casein making it an ideal protein to ensure that amino acids stay in the blood between the two.

Casein Protects Hard Earned Muscle
The superior long-lasting effect of casein provides the slowest rate of digestion which results in a slow but steady release of amino acids into circulation for the longest duration of time. Studies show that casein is superior in providing a sustained anti-catabolic (muscle protecting) environment while one study resulted in a 34% reduction in muscle protein breakdown over a 7-hour period.

Aminogen® Elite
This complex contains the same patented blend of protein-digesting enzymes evaluated in an open label study published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition in July of 2008. Compared to the control group, subjects who ingested a combination of 50 g of protein (approx. equivalent to 2 scoops of NITRO-PEAK) and Aminogen® more than doubled their speed of amino acid absorption and increased nitrogen retention by 32%. Both of these properties favor greater gains in muscle growth, repair and recovery. Remarkably, amino acid levels still appeared to be on the rise after 4 hours in the subjects who ingested protein combined with Aminogen®.

Ingredient Blend # 2
Omega 3-MCT™:
Flax Seed Powder [containing omega 3 (alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)),
omega 6 (linoleic acid (LA)), omega 9 (oleic acid (OA)) and lignans], MCT’s (Medium Chain
Triglycerides), Safflower (naturally containing CLA (conjugated linoleic acid)).

In addition to providing athletes with essential polyunsaturated omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, this complex supplies medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) for fast-acting energy and naturally occurring conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) to promote nutrient repartitioning and optimize the athlete’s body composition.

Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are the building blocks for prostaglandins, a class of hormones that regulate numerous bodily functions, including cellular responses, immune function, and hormone synthesis. Omega 3 fatty acids have been shown to help increase stamina, recovery time, lean muscle, brain function and reduce inflammation and joint pain.
