PURE-TEIN - How it Works

Background

Whey protein hydrolysate powder is an excellent, traditional source of amino acids, surpassing whole egg, beef or milk. Our whey powder is also a superior source of branched chain amino acids (BCAA), making up more than 19% of the amino acids. BCAA are key to quick recovery and muscle building after exercise. Our protein powder also contains added free-form glutamine which aids muscle recovery by reducing protein degradation.

Skeletal muscles are highly sensitive to bloodstream levels of BCAA, especially L-leucine. This small amino acid is key to signaling cells to build muscles. Rather than burning proteins as fuel for the citric acid (Krebs) cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, it actually conserves muscle proteins during exercise¹. Protein synthesis can rebound for up to 2 days after vigorous exercise, but breakdown remains elevated and net positive balance is achieved only if amino acid availability is increased after exertion². Upon entering the bloodstream, L-leucine signals directly for immediate protein synthesis in both skeletal and heart muscles. This effect of dietary L-leucine is thought responsible for sparing lean body mass and burning fat tissue that is associated with high protein diets and weight loss. In addition, high L-leucine levels tend to mildly block pyruvate dehydrogenase which encourages muscle cells to use glucose derived from both the bloodstream, liver and muscle glycogen stores. This effect is especially important for endurance athletes. The minimum requirement for L-leucine is estimated at 1 to 3 g/day³.

Depletion of L-glutamine in humans under stress stimulates the oxidations of key BCAA⁴. Addition of L-glutamine to the diet of human subjects has been shown to effectively reduce protein degradation⁵. Glutamine is thought to exert this protective effect by facile nitrogen donation allowing BCAA to remain free to stimulate protein biosynthesis.

Anabolic Laboratories was founded as a nutritional products company in 1924 and became a pharmaceutical manufacturer in 1940. Anabolic Laboratories is one of the oldest manufacturers of nutritional products in the world.

Standards

As a pharmaceutical manufacturing operation, the standards used for raw materials, production and finished product testing exceed the new requirements for nutritional product manufacturing.

Quality

Pharmaceutical standards of manufacturing provide nutritional products with label accuracy, potency and purity as dictated by the USFDA (United States Food & Drug Administration).

Formulas

A nutritional program and clinical formulas that are based on the specifications used in the scientific research.

The Need To Consider Quality:

Of the magnesium supplements tested by ConsumerLab.com, 25% failed to meet quality standards. One magnesium supplement contained only 45.4% of labeled amount, despite boasting a "GMP" (Good Manufacturing Practices) seal on its label, and another supplement provided only 28.8% of the labeled amount.

Tests by ConsumerLab.com have found multivitamins that were short on ingredients, failed to dissolve properly, or were contaminated with heavy metals.
ConsumerLab.com, New Product Review: Multivitamin and Multimineral Supplements, Posted 4/1/09

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has found that manufacturing problems have been associated with dietary supplements. Products been recalled because of microbiological, pesticide, and heavy metal contamination, and because they do not contain the dietary ingredients they are represented to contain, or they contain more or less than the amount of dietary ingredient claimed on the label.
