For protein to be effective, it must be cleaved into amino acids that can be absorbed by the body. This is where protease enzymes like ProHydrolase come in.
ProHydrolase is a proprietary proteolytic enzyme blend from Deerland Enzymes. This enzyme helps improve protein digestion, increases blood amino acid levels and decreases digestive discomfort. It is effective at digesting whey, casein, egg, soy and hemp proteins.
Increases Amino Acid Levels
One clinical study found that adding ProHydrolase to whey protein increased the levels of amino acids in the blood by 20% and decreased C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. CRP is a biomarker for inflammation.
The protease enzyme blend in ProHydrolase breaks down protein into small peptides that are more easily digested and absorbed by the digestive system. It also helps reduce the gas, bloating and abdominal pain that can sometimes occur after eating protein because it prevents large peptides from building up in the stomach.
In addition to helping with digestion and reducing stomach discomfort, ProHydrolase can also aid in muscle growth. It increases the absorption of peptides and amino acids, which are essential for promoting muscle growth and improving muscle recovery after workouts. We included ProHydrolase in our Clean Green Protein because it has been proven to help the body more effectively digest protein and maximize the benefits of consuming protein supplements. It can also be added to other protein powders to improve their nutritional value.
Helps with Digestive Discomfort
The digestive enzymes contained in this ingredient help reduce bloating and gas associated with protein supplements. This is because ProHydrolase degrades peptides that can cause these symptoms. In fact, this enzyme can degrade 99% of the large peptides that contribute to digestive discomfort caused by whey protein.
It can also decrease C-reactive protein levels, which indicate inflammation. This makes it ideal for those suffering from digestive issues.
Additionally, it has been shown to improve gastrointestinal comfort when used in combination with other protein-containing ingredients. For instance, a clinical study found that combining a blend of Deerland Enzymes’ enzymes with whey protein increased amino acid concentration in the blood by 20 percent and decreased bloating and gas.
This patented ingredient is a great addition to any protein supplement, especially those formulated for athletes. It is safe to use and has been backed by clinical studies. Incorporating this specialized enzyme into protein powders increases the amount of amino acids that can be absorbed, thus improving muscle growth and recovery.
Helps with Weight Loss
Protein is an important part of a healthy diet. It helps build muscle, and it can also help you lose weight. Choosing the right protein supplement is essential, however. A protease enzyme blend like ProHydrolase can boost your protein absorption, increase amino acid circulation and maximize muscle mass growth.
This specific protease enzyme blend from Deerland Enzymes & Probiotics has been clinically proven to improve the performance of protein supplements by encouraging pre-digestion. It has been shown to decrease digestive discomfort associated with protein consumption, such as gas, bloating and cramps. It has also been shown to increase branched-chain amino acid levels in the blood by 20% and reduce C-reactive protein, which indicates inflammation.
In a study, participants consumed either 26 grams of whey protein alone or whey protein with 250 mg of ProHydrolase. They then completed four sets of eight to ten repetitions of leg press and leg extension exercises. The results showed that those who consumed whey protein with ProHydrolase had significantly increased plasma leucine levels after 30 minutes compared to the control group.
Helps with Muscle Growth
When you eat protein, it needs to be broken down into its smallest components so your body can absorb it. Prohydrolase breaks down protein efficiently and completely, maximizing the effectiveness of your protein supplement. It also helps reduce digestive discomfort that can occur when protein is not properly digested.
A recent double-blind study examined the effects of a protease enzyme blend (ProHydrolase) added to whey protein on post-resistance exercise aminoacidemia and intramuscular anabolic signaling. Ten resistance-trained males performed four sets of 8-10 reps of leg press and leg extension exercises at 75% of their 1-repetition maximum. Following the resistance exercise, they consumed either 26 g of whey alone, whey plus 250 mg of ProHydrolase or a placebo. Blood samples were collected prior to and immediately post-exercise, at one hour and three hours after the workout.
Conlcusion:
The study found that the ProHydrolase + whey group had higher levels of leucine in the blood (33% increase) and decreased mTOR and NFKB phosphorylation, compared to the whey protein alone and the placebo groups. CytoSport Monster Blend contains 125mg of ProHydrolase per 25g of milk protein.
