NXP-GF™ logo

Key Nutrients: 

  • IGF-1
  • Whey Protein
  • Leucine
  • Arginine
  • Lactoferrin 

Product Focus: 

  • Naturally rich in IGF-1 to support muscle protein synthesis.

Key Benefits: 

  • IGF-1 stimulates muscle synthesis (mTOR) to support muscle growth.4,5
  • Composition of protein (72%), leucine (7.5%) and arginine (4.8%) may help to reduce TNF-α to support recovery.6

Applications:

HydroMax® logo

Key Nutrients: 

  • Glycerol

Product Focus: 

  • The leader in high-yield 65% glycerol powder, allowing for physiques to look more pumped. 

Key Benefits: 

  • Shelf-stable at a much higher percentage than GMS.
  • Takes 10x less material to achieve similar glycerol levels as conventional GMS.
  • Water dispersible

Applications:

PepForm® Leucine & Citrulline logo

Key Nutrients: logo

  • Leucine peptides
  • Citrulline peptides

Product Focus: 

  • Soluble leucine and citrulline to support muscle protein synthesis and exercise performance.  

Key Benefits: 

  • Free forms of Leucine and Citrulline are typically very insoluble and bitter. PepForm Technology eliminates these challenges and enhances application use and bioavailability. 
  • Leucine has been shown to support improvements on body composition, strength and physical function.7  
  • Citrulline has been shown to increase vasodilation and blood flow through increased NO production.8,9

Applications:

Hydrovon™ EETlogo

Key Nutrients: 

  • Hydrolyzed whey protein 
  • Peptides
  • Enzymes

Product Focus: 

  • Optimized with Embedded Enzyme Technology to target the release of leucine peptides.

Key Benefits: 

  • Two-phase hydrolysis allows for 6% hydrolyzation at time of production, second phase occurring once the consumer adds water to the protein powder.8
  • Leucine becomes hydrolyzed to support muscle protein synthesis.
