How Does NSI® Protein Ultra-24 work?
NSI® Protein Ultra-24 is an advanced-formula shake that delivers 20 grams of whey, soy and casein protein that supply fast-, medium- and slow-acting proteins for a more prolonged, sustained release of amino acids into the bloodstream. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, necessary for the growth, maintenance and repair of muscle tissue. Without adequate protein, the body can’t produce muscle, and existing muscle cannot repair and rebuild itself after workouts.
Combining fast-, medium- and slow-acting proteins is an ideal way to achieve maximum muscle support. Whey protein is fast-acting, meaning it moves quickly through the digestive system, producing peak levels of amino acids 60 to 90 minutes after ingestion. A concentrated source of all of the essential amino acids (especially high in branched-chain amino acids—leucine, isoleucine and valine—and glutamine), whey protein is known to produce a 68% increase in protein synthesis. It’s best consumed first thing in the morning or immediately following workouts, as it works to rapidly restore amino acids inside muscle tissue to speed the recovery process.
Casein protein, derived from milk, is considered slow-acting because it’s digested and absorbed slowly, promoting a steady stream of amino acids that saturate and feed repairing muscles over time. Casein is believed to have an anti-catabolic effect, meaning it inhibits the breakdown of protein in lean muscle tissue. It may be most beneficial taken at night, when slower absorption is ideal.
Soy protein, derived from soybeans, supplies all nine essential amino acids and has the highest ratio of some, including glutamine, branched chain amino acids and arginine. Soy protein is digested more slowly than whey protein, but faster than casein, making it a medium-acting protein source. In addition to promoting muscle protein synthesis, soy may also help enhance metabolism and support healthy cholesterol levels and cardiovascular health.
In addition to whey, casein and soy protein, NSI® Protein Ultra-24 contains a unique Omega Oil Blend consisting of medium chain triglycerides, olive oil, borage oil and evening primrose oil to help support smooth muscle contractions, promote joint health and maintain healthy blood pressure.
Also included is 500 mg of L-Glutamine, an amino acid that’s quickly utilized when the body is exposed to stress from physical training and exercise. L-glutamine promotes protein synthesis in muscle, accelerates muscle recovery rate and may encourage fast muscle growth. It may also boost mental energy and immune health, as well as help curb cravings for sugar and alcohol.
HMB, a metabolite of leucine (one of the body’s essential amino acids), further promotes the synthesis of muscle tissue by increasing the rate of protein used by the body to increase muscle growth while decreasing the atrophy (tear down) of muscle that occurs during intense resistance exercise.
NSI® Protein Ultra-24 is a convenient, once-a-day supplement that provides high-quality protein for vigorous protein synthesis and muscle development. Mix two scoops of vanilla-flavored Protein Ultra-24 in 8 to 12 oz. of liquid and blend (or use shaker cup), adjusting liquid until desired consistency is achieved.
NSI® Protein Ultra-24 is better because it:
• Contains a unique blend of proteins that support muscle growth and recovery 24 hours a day!
• Also delivers added nutrients to support energy, healthy blood pressure, immune health and more!
