Muscle Synthesis Stimulators – Hydrovon® EET & NXP-GF®

Consumers Show Interest in Obtaining Support for their Muscles

Performance nutrition consumers are recognizing that all aspects of health are interlinked and should not be treated in isolation. Consumers are placing emphasis on optimizing their fitness by maximizing their overall health. They are focusing on improving their strength and endurance, along with their immune health³. Functional enzymes are often used to achieve the maximum benefits of protein supplementation because less than 40% of whey protein is broken down by digestive enzymes in the stomach. The inclusion of enzymes into your protein formulation helps to efficiently break down proteins and optimize the release of amino acids like leucine. The utilization of isolated growth factors and bioactive peptides from protein also plays a key role in providing support for muscle protein synthesis and overall well-being and immune health.

Help support your consumers' performance needs with Hydrovon EET and NXP-GF.

Hydrovon® EET

Hydrolyzed Whey Protein Optimized with Embedded Enzyme Technology to Target the Release of Leucine Peptides

Hydrovon EET provides two-phase hydrolysis, with final activation occurring when your consumer mixes the protein powder with water.

3 in 1 formula
- Hydrolyzed protein
- Peptides
- Active enzymes
Leucine specific release
- Upon enzyme activation, leucine is hydrolyzed from the protein.
Two-phase hydrolysis⁴
- Phase one occurs during the production process, where proteins are hydrolyzed up to 6% and then water activity is limited so that enzyme action is suspended. Phase two begins once the consumer adds water to the protein powder, which activates the enzymes for further protein hydrolysis.

Applications

NXP-GF®

Whey Fraction Isolate Naturally Rich in IGF-1 Growth Factors to Support Skeletal Muscle Protein Synthesis

NXP-GF is a unique whey fraction isolate with naturally high levels of growth factors such as IGF-1 that help promote skeletal muscle protein synthesis for faster recovery and combat overtraining.

NXP-GF’s IGF-1 May Have a Positive Effect on Muscle Growth

IGF-1 stimulates the anabolic pathway (synthesis)⁵*
IGF-1 inhibits degradation of muscle⁵*
IGF-1 increases glucose and amino acid uptake⁶*
IGF-1 supports muscle growth by activating satellite cells. These fuse with muscle fibers to lay down new myofibrils: the thread-like parts of muscles responsible for contraction⁵*

NXP-GF May Support a Healthy Immune System

Heavy exercise and life stress can influence immune function⁷.

Overtraining stress leads to a compromised immune system making athletes more susceptible to infection.
Both innate and acquired immunity are often reported to decrease in the hours after heavy exertion, typically 15-70%.

NXP-GF contains bioactive whey peptides that may help support the immune system of athletes:*

Lactoferrin
- An iron-binding glycoprotein that bridges innate and adaptive immune function*
Lactoperoxidase
- Enzyme that works as an antibacterial agent*
IgG
- This is the most common antibody, and may guard against bacterial and viral infections*
