Description

Protein is required to build and maintain muscle tissue. However, it is fact that the human body cannot store protein, and, if protein is not immediately available after tissue damaging exercise in the digestive system to repair tissue damaged through training, will "cannibalise" amino acids to repair the damaged muscle from other areas of the body. This will limit the body’s ability to overcompensate (recover fully) and thus improve, meaning that training sessions are less efficient. It is therefore very important, especially if muscle gain is the objective, to ensure that high quality, low fat protein is continuously available.

Ideally this protein should come from a variety of protein sources. If protein intake is lacking in the normal diet then a protein supplement may be used to correct any imbalances, ensuring that a positive nitrogen balance is maintained, blood sugar stabilised and muscle catabolism avoided. Protein intake guidelines for endurance athletes are approximately 1.5 grams / per kg Body Mass / per day & approximately 2 grams / per kg Body Mass / per day for muscle development athletes. Ideally this should also come from a variety of protein sources. If protein intake is lacking in the normal diet then a protein supplement may be used to correct any imbalances, ensuring that a positive nitrogen balance is maintained, blood sugar stabilized and muscle catabolism avoided.

Protein X-Act is a unique, balanced multi-protein formula designed in keeping with these findings, which delivers maximum absorption, muscle growth, nitrogen retention and immune system boosting from a selection of four different protein types, including Whey Protein, Egg Albumen, Calcium Caseinate, and Soy Isolate. All four of these proteins achieve the very highest scores (each a perfect 1) on the PDCAAS scale, but have different digestive rates, amino profiles and fat contents. No milk powder is used in Protein X-Act, thus maximizing high quality protein content (actual usable protein availability is in excess of 85%, compared to approximately 20%-25% for high protein foods such as fish, chicken, eggs and lean red meat!) while reducing fat, lactose and carbohydrates. Also included are proteolytic enzymes (to aid digestion), additional glutamine & taurine, grapefruit seed extracts, minerals and multi-vitamins (at 50% of RDA per serving).

Protein X-Act is therefore a highly efficient, cost-effective, delicious tasting, convenient and accurate way to make up any shortfalls in high quality dietary protein, WITHOUT significantly increasing total Calorie intake or ingesting excess fats and cholesterol.

Protein X-Act may also be used as a tasty aid to weight loss programs. 

Recommended Use

For additional information see Basic Nutritional Guidelines under Nutrition Guides.

To maintain muscle strength - (e.g.: endurance athletes) Total protein intake should be approx 1.5g per kg (body mass) per day. For a 70kg person this equates to approx 105g, which requires approx 400 to 500g of protein containing foodstuff per day. Take 1 serving (3 rounded scoops) in 200ml low fat milk or water after training. Depending on protein content of normal diet, second and / or third servings may be taken between other meals. See also FiT Metab-Elite 40 & DuraTrain.

To increase muscle mass - (e.g.: body building) Total protein intake should be approximately 1.8g to 2,0g per kg (body mass) per day. Adequate carbohydrates will also need to be consumed to prevent the protein from being used as an energy source.

Mix one serving with 200 ml of low fat milk to taste, 2 to 4 times daily between normal meals. One of these servings should be taken immediately after training. May also be mixed in water at the expense of some taste. See also FiT Metab-Elite 40, Metab-Elite 60 & Mass-O-Mizer.

To lose weight - Reduce total calorie intake esp. fats, sugars & alcohol. Divide total intake into six small meals per day. For 2 to 3 of these meals substitute 1 serving Protein X-Act in 150ml skim milk (or water). Remaining normal meals should contain plenty of fibre e.g.: vegetables, fruit etc. Regular exercise will improve results. Consultation with a registered dietician is recommended.
