PeptoPro®: What is it?
PeptoPro® is unique in being a pre-digested milk protein, derived from casein, which is neutral in taste. The secret lies in a patent-protected enzyme that reduces the typical bitter taste at the same time as generating tiny protein fragments (so-called peptides) that are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream and so fuel the muscles.

PeptoPro® is a groundbreaking all-natural product developed by DSM scientists. It is widely known that amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, are crucial for muscle function. But consuming intact proteins, means these amino acids first need to be liberated by gastro-intestinal digestion and this costs precious time and energy. Intact proteins can lead to discomfort during physical activity. Proteins can be pre-digested to deliver bioavailable amino acids, but this generally produces a bitter taste. PeptoPro® is provided true M Double You in a variety of pleasant tasting powders called: PeptoPro pure andTotal Recovery Drink

PeptoPro®: Why use it?
Recent scientific insights into sports nutrition show that adding protein to carbohydrate-based sports products improves physical performance. The downside is that adding protein to sports drinks typically has a negative effect on taste and refreshment, as it makes drinks sticky and “thick”. Properties which makes drinks difficult to combine with exercise. And, consuming intact proteins during exertion tends to result in an uncomfortable feeling of a full stomach. Protein hydrolysates or free amino acids lead to much less of this feeling of bulk but still tend to be relatively bitter in taste.

PeptoPro® is comprised of small pieces of protein called peptides - mainly di- and tripeptides. It has two key advantages. First, PeptoPro® amino acids are quickly taken up by the body and delivered to the muscles just when they are needed most - during and directly after physical activity. Second, compared to intact protein and other hydrolysates, PeptoPro® has better taste and texture properties. PeptoPro® is easily dissolved in water, producing a clear solution, making it a thirst-quenching and palatable and a great asset for sports drinks. Numerous athletes have volunteered their testimonials to the effectiveness of PeptoPro®.
