12 Hour Protein is designed to be the ultimate muscle fuel and
workout recovery formula. Knowing that protein repairs muscle after the
workout and fuels the body throughout the day, Dymatize wanted to develop
a product that took recovery to the next level, one that would revolutionize
the protein category.
After a battery
of tests and trials, we were able to develop a calculated protein timing
system that we call Sustained Muscle Saturation Technology (SMST). SMST
utilizes a multi-source blend of the highest quality proteins, a digestive
enzyme matrix and our proprietary lipid formula to achieve its goal: up
to 12-hour muscle fueling and recovery with maximum nitrogen retention
for maximum muscle growth.
How
does SMST work?
Different proteins have different chemical compositions and different
rates at which they can be assimilated by the body. By developing an absorption
"time-line" of the highest quality proteins, we were able to
create the basis of the 12-hour formula. We added a digestive enzyme matrix
to more efficiently aid in the digestion and absorption of proteins, as
well as a lipid blend that specifically promotes a longer absorption rate
of the proteins allowing for a complete anabolic, nitrogen rich environment
to be sustained in the body.
To determine
this unique combination of proteins, every facet of protein usage had
to be analyzed.
Nitrogen retention and absorption is a combination of several different
factors and each source of protein has its own results that were studied
to develop the advanced protein blend found in
Dymatize
12 Hour Protein. These factors included:
1. Rate of
Absorption (RA), the rate at which each protein source releases its amino
acids. Each protein source has its own release rate.
2. Protein Digestibility Correct Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS). This is a
fairly recent evaluation method adopted by the FDA and FAO/WHO in 1993.
This "best method" utilizes nitrogen absorption as well as amino
acid profile as its basis of quality.
3. Amino Acid Profile each protein source has its own unique amino acid
profile.
4. Biological Value (BV) is derived from the amount of Nitrogen absorbed
over the amount of Nitrogen incorporated into the body. This formula gives
each protein source is BV. This value is used to help determine the amount
of protein absorbed from different protein sources.
5. Net Protein Utilization (NPU) was used to determine the ideal amount
of essential amino acids.
6. Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER) - similar to PDCAAS.
This analysis
led us to believe that no single existing natural protein source was ideal
for utilizing these desired extended release anabolic effects. Dymatize
has determined the optimal source is a fusion of several different protein
sources, including free form branch chain amino acids and other free form
amino acids. Whey protein is the overall "winner" as far as
single source values were concerned. Whey has the highest BV of any natural
protein source and has the highest rating of PDCAAS.
That's why
Whey is the basis of Dymatize 12 Hour Protein. However, to fully enhance
whey's effectiveness over a sustained period of time, other protein sources
are added. Milk Protein and Protein derived from Eggs are also ranked
in the highest position on the PDCAAS chart. These are some of the sources
used to help enhance and prolong the Positive Nitrogen Balance Dymatize
12 Hour Protein was developed to help you achieve.
