You know good protein. As a serious strength athlete you choose not to compromise progress in the weight room due to lack of adequate HIGH QUALITY protein intake. You also choose to only use the highest quality premium ingredients to meet your daily protein requirements. Ultra PeptideTM provides nothing short of those highest quality ingredients, which are formulated in specific ratios of 51/49% micellar casein to whey isolate, and backed by scientific studies to support lean tissue enhancements. By disclosing this proprietary ratio of micellar casein to whey isolate, Xtreme FormulationsTM not only sets another industry first for being the only company we're aware of to disclose protein ratios, but proves to the consumer our absolute uncompromised commitment to excellence by the fact that we spare no manufacturing expense to truly bring the finest formulations to market.
Ultra Peptide is a designer food in more ways than one. Ultra Peptide contains 2 strictly premium protein sources: namely pure undenatured low temperature processed micellar casein, and pure ceramic microfiltered whey protein isolate. Ultra PeptideTM also therefore provides the highest levels of lactoferrin, alpha-lactalbumin, and glycomacropeptide in each serving. These important growth factors will help to maximize lean tissue growth, strongly enhance your immune system, and dramatically speed up your recovery between workouts. If the formula doesn't have your love at first site, the product will have your love at first taste. Ultra PeptideTM is available in 2 delicious versions, chocolate and vanilla. Either way you cannot go wrong as we work exclusively with gourmet flavor houses to bring forth nothing but the best tasting protein products on the market!
A clinical study was recently completed by Robert DiSilvestro of Ohio State University, which compared the effects of whey protein to soy on muscle tissue breakdown during exercise in healthy adult males. Dr. DiSilvestro published his findings in the Journal of Nutraceuticals, Functional and Medical Foods (volume 3, 2000, pages 33-42). The study concluded that supplementing your diet with whey protein alone could actually cause above normal amounts of muscle breakdown during exercise. Additionally, the now famous Boire study, published in the December, 1997 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (Volume 94, pages 14930-14935) concluded that supplementing with micellar casein significantly prevented the breakdown of muscle tissue.
While whey protein may increase protein synthesis to a very high degree, higher than casein, scientists are now recognizing what Mother Nature has said all along, that is that micellar casein is much more important than whey protein for preventing muscle breakdown. In fact, additional research is demonstrating that the slow and sustained release of amino acids from micellar casein can cause a "timed release" trickle of amino acids into the bloodstream which can last for as many as 7 full hours after ingestion, something whey cannot ever do because the plasma amino acid levels from ingesting only whey peak quickly and then just as quickly drop off to nothing. With this in mind and following Mother Nature's lead we have but one conclusion left, an even blend of casein and whey is superior to either alone. Exactly the bio-engineering that goes into the final Ultra Peptide formula to deliver the absolute maximum results.
As you can see, ideally, the perfect combination of protein as supported by scientific research would include high quality whey isolates along with micellar casein. This combination has been proven to stimulate protein synthesis while at the same time preventing muscle tissue breakdown by addressing both the anabolic and anti-catabolic issues, and is exactly the protein blend found in Ultra Peptide.
