Aminogen® Increases Protein Absorption!

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

Aminogen® is a patented blend of digestive proteases (Apergillus niger and Aspergillus oryzae), which are enzymes that breakdown protein, aid in digestion and increase absorption. In a fairly recent study published in The Journal of The International Society of Sports Nutrition, researchers put Aminogen® to the test. The results were astounding!

In this clinical study, twenty-one healthy male subjects were given 50 grams of whey protein concentrate (42.5 grams of protein) with and without Aminogen on separate occasions. Results showed that when subjects consumed whey protein concentrate and Aminogen® the rate of absorption increased by as much as 350% in comparison to taking whey concentrate on its own. Look for Aminogen® in advanced protein powders, such as MuscleON™ .
