PEScience Select Protein Powder
Every day when I'm drinking my whey + casein protein shake with the
sole goal of gaining muscle or getting leaner I always smile at the
irony of my drink...
We are consumers based on innovation and
research. We are always digging through the internet on a mission to
find the NEW. We look to the scientist for a new discovery to build
muscle.
Every day when you are downing that 100% whey protein
shake after a brutal workout, you think you are really ahead of the
curve... convinced it's the holy grail of protein.
The truth is you are drinking in the past... sacrificing that time in the gym for outdated science.
I
wish I could sit here and tell you that our whey + casein protein shake
is NEW cutting edge science that PES discovered. It's not. The research
is almost 10 years old! It's time to take the blinders off.
The supplement industry is based around innovation. Why are you still drinking in the past?
When building lean muscle Whey is NOT ENOUGH
If
you’re a regular 100% whey protein user, read on, because there’s
something you need to know. Our investigation into the science should
royally piss you off. I sure was…
In our quest to build muscle,
protein intake is the single most important factor. When I say intake, I
don't just mean amount...I mean the type of protein too.
When I asked our Director of Research & Development to dig up the research on protein, the facts shocked me.
Our
R&D team didn't have to dive, dig, and spend an eternity finding
the information...no, the information was easily found on the
government-owned science database known as PubMed. And it is so clear
cut. There was no theory or interpretation.
Reputable journals
have already tested the effects of different proteins in human subjects,
and the data could not be more conclusive. Yet for some reason it's
been ignored.
We have been FOOLED for years.
All
of these years I've been using 100% whey protein as my sole protein
source, slamming a shake after my workout, in the morning, and even
between meals. Do I "just whey"? I certainly did and have done so for
years... and I consider myself ahead of the game. Boy was I wrong...
The
media tells me that whey builds muscle. And you know what? They're
totally right. Studies do show that whey alone builds muscle better than
other proteins. But if you look what they compare it to, the issue is
clear: studies compare whey to weak products like vegetable-based
protein, sugary drinks, and even just water. Of course whey is going to
come out on top!
NATURE had it right!
It
wasn't until recently that scientists finally decided to give all these
100% whey products a run for their money. And the results were
absolutely shocking.
Nature had it right. When researchers at the
world-renowned Mayo Clinic tested a combination of whey + casein
protein, as found naturally in milk protein, they discovered that the
two protein sources work together in a synergistic manner to build lean
muscle.
100% whey protein in isolation only gets you so far... it
can spike protein synthesis with an influx of amino acids, but quickly
returns to baseline, leaving you where you started.
Enter casein,
a slower-digesting protein that's typically consumed for its
anti-catabolic properties as it promotes a steady release of amino acids
over time. Casein actually results in more retention of ingested
protein than whey!
In another published study, researchers found
the combination of whey protein with casein protein resulted in a quick
increase in protein synthesis along with a sustained elevation in plasma
leucine levels. Plasma leucine levels are a key dictator of muscle
protein synthesis, and thus, a combination of whey protein and casein
protein may serve to maximize muscle protein accumulation.
Whey
protein hits the bloodstream at a fast rate, but it is casein protein
that has been shown to create the strongest leucine balance, possibly
due to less oxidative processes taking place. It only makes sense to
consume them together.
Studies have repeatedly shown that milk
may be the optimal post workout drink due to the unique delivery and
interplay of milk protein's components: whey protein and casein protein,
together. Whey protein provides a surge of amino acids to help lean
muscle gain, while the casein component sustains an anti-catabolic
environment for hours to come.
In fact, the research shows that
even if amino acid content of a protein is held constant, milk protein
augments lean muscle accrual to a greater degree than fast-digesting
hydrolyzed proteins due to the unique pattern of amino acid delivery
that only milk protein can provide. Nature had it right all along: milk
protein is king.
Whey and Casein UNITED
We
already know that whey protein spikes muscle protein synthesis while
casein protein creates an anti-catabolic trickle of amino acids, a
complementary combination that should be taken at the same time. But in
addition to this, whey protein and casein protein each have their own
unique bioactive subfractions and growth factors which work in concert
when they're taken together.
This is why I was so pissed when I
saw the new research... we've been shortchanging ourselves for years. I
don't just want something better than whey... I want the best.
The
2005 International Whey Conference concluded that a 50/50 mixture of
whey + casein is the optimal form of protein for gaining muscle mass.
That's right, even at a whey conference, the researchers found that 100%
whey is not the answer.
So if a synergistic whey-casein protein
blend is the optimal blend for building muscle, what do you think PES
SELECT Protein brings you? That's right: The most targeted protein
formula on the market.
Milk Protein Isolate (MPI) KING OF PROTEINS
Milk protein is 80% casein and 20% whey, a combination that makes it superior to either whey or casein alone.
With
Milk Protein Isolate, we've trimmed down the fat and carbohydrate
content, leaving you with the 20/80 whey-casein protein ratio and
synergistic growth factors intact. Indeed, MPI may be the single best
protein source money can buy. To quote The Protein Book by Lyle
McDonald, leading nutrition expert for bodybuilders and athletes:
"[R]esearch
seems to suggest that consuming slower digesting proteins, or a mixture
of fast and slow proteins during the post-training period may provide
superior results compared to a fast protein... [M]ilk protein isolate
(MPI), which contains 20% whey and 80% casein might turn out to be an
ideal post-workout protein[...] By providing a rapidly available source
of amino acids (from the whey) with a slower digesting source (from the
casein), both protein synthesis and breakdown should be positively
affected."
Ultra-Pure WPC-80 the only whey you should ever use
Since
we know the research says that a 50/50 blend of whey protein and casein
protein is optimal, we found the best source of whey protein to add to
our Milk Protein Isolate to bring the ratio of whey and casein to
perfection.
Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC) can be composed of
anywhere from 34-80% protein. We elected to go with the highest quality
possible, WPC-80 for short. This not only gives you the most high-grade
protein for your buck, but unlike whey protein isolate, WPC-80 actually
contains intact growth factors, allowing you to maximize lean muscle
growth.
You're short-changing yourself by using any other source of whey protein, period.
And
trust us... if your protein doesn't list out the percentage of its whey
concentrate there is a pretty good reason... it's likely the 34%
garbage. Keep on chuggin'...
PepForm LEUCINE PEPTIDES our R&D team insisted
They called it the cherry on top and wouldn't let me release SELECT Protein until we added them to the mix.
"Leucine
Peptides are a must-have with what we're accomplishing here." Leucine,
widely considered the single most important amino acid for building
muscle, has been shown to improve lean muscle gain, exercise
performance, and muscle protein synthesis, often in conjunction with a
protein powder.
I saw why my R&D team was being so insistent...
Leucine
has been shown to augment lean body mass (LBM) gain in a
protein-independent manner. In simple terms, it doesn't matter how much
protein you consume, you are not going to maximize lean muscle gain
unless you consume the proper amount of leucine.
Furthermore,
Ph.D's found that the Leucine content of a protein meal is a prime
determinant of how much lean muscle tissue your body creates after meal
consumption.
After seeing the data myself, I promptly decided
that if we really wanted to have the best protein powder on the market,
we'd be lying if we didn't have PepForm Leucine Peptides in the formula.
The science agrees.
TriPhasic Delivery Complex WHEY CASEIN leucine peptides
This
TriPhasic Delivery Complex puts SELECT Protein ahead of any other whey +
casein protein blend on the market. Remember when we said that the
levels of leucine in your blood are a key dictator of muscle protein
synthesis?
Phase 1:
By enhancing the blend with pre-digested leucine peptides,we allow for
blood levels of leucine to spike, which then spikes muscle protein
synthesis and lean muscle building. You see, leucine peptides are
pre-digested and absorbed very rapidly, allowing for greater bodily
utilization of leucine for the preservation of muscle mass.
Phase 2:
Whey protein comes in next and gives your body the other essential
amino acids to build new muscle proteins. But it is important to keep
this sustained for longer than whey alone can.
Phase 3:
Casein protein finishes the job by sustaining lean muscle accrual for
hours after your protein shake. It's the 1-2-3 punch that you need. No
need to slam shake after shake when you'll have muscle protein synthesis
going round-the-clock from a single scoop of PES SELECT Protein!
PES SELECT a LEAN muscle formula
As
a comprehensive lean muscle formula, PES SELECT Protein brings more to
the table than targeted muscle and strength accrual. We're not called
Physique Enhancing Science for nothing...
You see, while the
superiority of a whey + casein protein blend to a 100% whey protein came
as a shock, the craziest surprise was yet to come...
Is your 100% whey protein MAKING YOU FAT?
Ever notice that "bubble gut" you get following consumption of a whey protein shake?
There's
more to it than you think. Here's what the science says: 100% whey
protein creates a stronger insulin response than almost any other food
in existence. 700% more insulin than sugar.
The scientists then
took things a step further. When the complex to white bread in humans,
they found that the complex caused a 250% greater elevation in
Glucose-Dependent-Insulinotropic-Peptide (GIP), a hormone known to cause
insulin release, stop fat burning, and lead to the formation of new fat
cells when consumed alone, is more fattening than sugar and white
bread, then why have we been slamming down 100% whey protein shakes for
all these years?
We've been deceived.
PES SELECT Protein WHEY+ CASEIN to the rescue again
Thankfully,
recent research shows us that you can still stay anabolic without the
fat gain caused by 100% whey protein shakes. Two brand new studies show
that it takes over three times the amount of whey + casein blend to
elicit the insulin spike caused by whey alone.
Since insulin is
our strongest fat-storing hormone, the meaning of this is simple: you
store roughly 300% more fat from each 100% whey protein shake versus an
equivalent amount of a whey + casein protein blend.
There's a
reason the International Whey Conference concluded that a 50/50
whey-casein protein blend is the best protein for athletes: because it
not only causes around-the-clock recovery and muscle growth, but it also
keeps unwanted fat off and allows the body to stay in fat-burning mode
for hours after your workout.
Bringing It Together LEUCINE+WHEY+CASEIN + you
The
leading Ph.Ds. and experts in the field agree: a protein powder blend
is superior to whey alone. But unlike other milk protein based products,
we've enriched each scoop of PES SELECT Protein with PepForm Leucine
Peptides to truly deliver the most targeted protein powder out there.
So
do you "just whey?" Maybe the answer has been yes for all these years,
as it was for me. But it's time to take your training and physique to
the next level. Put down that 100% whey protein shake and stop living in
the past.
Using the precise ratio developed by our experts, you
will finally see the results that all those "wheys of the past"
promised. We've done the research. The ball is in your court now. You
have the power to SELECT your future physique, and it starts now.
