Have you ever heard of protein hydrolysates? Here's everything you need to know about it. Nutrimuscle answers your questions.
Protein hydrolysates: a new way to “fool” the consumer
When looking for a protein hydrolysate , you expect to pay more, if not much more, than traditional proteins. It is not uncommon to have to spend 50 to 100% more for the same quantity, because you expect to receive a very high quality protein.
In fact, the consumer assumes that a hydrolysate necessarily contains 100% hydrolysate, that is to say 100% predigested amino acids or peptides and therefore 0% proteins.
This belief is completely wrong. But don't count on the big supplement brands to educate consumers on this subject. Why? Because if consumers knew the truth about protein hydrolysates, they would simply stop wasting their money buying them.
In fact, no hydrolysate is 100% hydrolysed . If it were, it would give off a strong smell of vomit and its taste would be even stronger than vomit. It would therefore be unsaleable.
How to differentiate hydrolysates?
What makes the difference between the different hydrolysates is their degree of hydrolysis, that is to say their level of cutting into amino acids and peptides.
The market generally offers a degree of hydrolysis not exceeding 5%. Quite often, the degree of hydrolysis is only a few percent. This is clearly playing on the consumer's ignorance in order to make him pay more for a protein that is slightly more sophisticated than the basic proteins.
It is not for nothing that protein retailers "forget" to specify the degree of hydrolysis of the hydrolysate they sell: it is because it is low, or even negligible. This is clearly a marketing strategy to deceive the user.
What is the degree of hydrolysis of Peptopro ®?
Nutrimuscle has nothing to hide and does not seek to mislead its customers by suggesting that PeptoPro® is 100% hydrolyzed. The degree of hydrolysis of PeptoPro® is approximately 27%.
PeptoPro® therefore has a degree of hydrolysis which is 4 to 5 times higher than that of its main competitor: whey hydrolysate.
Why not cut the Peptopro ® even more than it is?
Because scientific research has clearly demonstrated that free amino acids are not as well digested and as anabolic as di- and tri-peptides (1).
PeptoPro® Nutrimuscle therefore has the most effective form of amino acids for anabolism (2).
pH: 4 - 5
