Optimizing MPS
EIGHTY:20 contains a ratio of Micellar Casein (80%) to Whey (20%) naturally found in milk. The blend of anti-catabolic slow-absorbing protein (Micellar Casein) and anabolic fast-absorbing protein (Whey) was specifically formulated by reviewing new emerging and historic protein research for advanced lean muscle support.
The combination of Micellar Casein and Whey has been scientifically proven to have greater nitrogen retention than whey or micellar casein alone.
It’s a common misconception fueled by product marketing that whey should only be consumed post workout and micellar casein only around bedtime. Understand that this is not an accurate representation of the facts.
Research has proven that adding micellar casein to whey will not inhibit the fast absorption of whey or the desirable slow absorption of micellar casein.
For example, leucine from whey appears in blood plasma rapidly and is associated with an increase in whole body protein synthesis during the first 180 minutes (anabolic properties) with no significant effect on protein breakdown.
To complement whey protein, micellar casein results in a slower leucine appearance in blood plasma sustained over several hours, with smaller increases in whole body protein synthesis and significant and sustained decreases in muscle protein breakdown (anti-catabolic properties). Net whole body leucine is greater after ingesting micellar casein vs. whey.
Simply put, consumed as a blend, micellar casein and whey maintain their unique slow and fast-digesting properties. For advanced lean muscle support, consume a combination of micellar casein and whey rather than either one alone.
EIGHTY:20 does not contain amino fillers or whey peptides. Whey peptides may sound cutting-edge and exciting, but they are just another amino acid-spiking trick. They artificially manipulate nitrogen protein tests, so you get less protein than for your $. Whey peptides are often incomplete proteins like glutamine peptides, glycine peptides, or a way to disguise low% whey concentration
