When we train, we know that a series of traumas are created at the level of the muscle tissue which is directly related to the intensity of our training, and these tears, real traumas which induce a series of physiological reactions, must be repaired as soon as possible if we want to optimise the results of our training and return to training as soon as possible. The breakdown of muscle fibres and their subsequent reconstruction converge in a process known as 'protein turnover'. If we want to rebuild strong muscles as quickly as possible, ready to face the most intense training, we must provide the reconstruction by supplying 'plastic' material adapted to the 'regenerative fire' of the protein synthesis that has been induced. The priority is to prevail over muscle breakdown = catabolism, which is the basis of muscle reconstruction and growth, by directing the protein balance positive during the reconstruction phase, amplifying the effect of protein synthesis, reversing the trend of structural protein breakdown, thanks to the immediate supply of proteins/amino acids in the post-training phase.
The immediate availability of 'plastic' protein material, and in particular the form in which it is supplied, strongly influences the effectiveness and speed of this reconstruction, since providing a blood supply rich in all the essential amino acids, with the support of other valuable ones that can boost muscle reconstruction (in addition to the importance of glucose) during and especially after exercise means further increasing the power of protein synthesis. An athlete who trains with a certain intensity and for a certain period of time knows very well that after training it is not advisable to 'eat' solid food. But this time following hours after training is crucial for the result of reconstruction, even if in the immediate term, our organism is not particularly 'ready' to digest and absorb in this delicate phase of acute inflammation and highly still under the effects of an active sympathetic nervous system. Too much time is taken for digestion and to make the amino acid material bioavailable to the muscles if we want to optimise recovery and promote maximum anabolic response, and science now confirms this with several studies on post-workout protein supplementation, providing us with very important data on the 'timing' of the micronutrients needed and what type we should choose.
Research over the last few years suggests that combining several protein sources (with relative differentiation of absorption and release times in the blood stream) is better than taking just one protein source, albeit of high biological value, confirming it as the best choice to take after training for muscle rebuilding.
The dietary supplement market presents us with different protein sources of high biological value, derived from dairy products but not only (see egg whites), which may have different amino acid composition characteristics to exploit and different digestion or absorption times. For example, we know that whey protein, whether concentrated or isolated, has a rapid average digestion and absorption time, which is then exceeded by its 'hydrolysed' version, i.e. the same raw material undergoes different hydrolysis processes, which make it characterised by smaller, more rapidly absorbed peptides, given that in addition to presenting themselves as pre-digested or broken down proteins, they follow pathways via 'enzymatic carriers' that can be defined as 'privileged'. And they arrive sooner at being bioavailable, keeping their composition intact without being denatured and thus the same 'power' on protein synthesis. This does not detract from the importance of protein sources such as egg whites or caseins which are slower to digest and release amino acids, if we consider that muscles do not recover and rebuild in what used to be called the "anabolic window" of 30 minutes. Protein synthesis continues, and must continue to be sustained, and muscle recovery occurs in the next 6, 24 and 48 hours after intense training.
That's how experience and research into nutrient timing has shown that it is increasingly important that this amino acid support is extremely rapid and effective, but also that this release of valuable 'building blocks' lasts for longer, until the next solid meal.
Today, science and the most advanced production technologies we have access to offer us a series of elements of protein origin with extraordinary biological value and the possibility of having them in the form of "hydrolysed" proteins, predigested, broken down into tiny peptides ready to reach our muscles extremely quickly without having to undergo demanding digestive processes that our organism, still under stress, would not be able to optimise at that moment.
Infusion-ELITE was created as one of the protagonists of the new "Neil Hill Approved" line for advanced athletes, precisely to provide the best amino acid-protein material in terms of quality and biological value as quickly as possible to the athlete who needs the fastest and most efficient muscular recovery possible, thanks to the presence of a protein mix of several highly digestible and rapidly absorbed sources, ideal precisely for the phase immediately following training, when our body is still on "alert", not "ready" to eat and absorb what it needs. But if we also want to optimise the intensity of the results, we need to provide what your muscles need to grow as quickly as possible. The concept behind this extraordinary new protein recovery supplement is to deliver this valuable material as quickly as possible into the bloodstream and continue to your muscles for a certain amount of time, thus taking the widely confirmed importance of post-workout protein supplementation to a new level of effectiveness.
Infusion-ELITE provides the certified protein material of the best biological value, obtained by the best processing technology in microfiltration and hydrolysis, quickly and without burdening the digestion, and in a manner absolutely pleasant to the palate, so as to start the muscle reconstruction processes as soon as possible, ensuring an important aminoacidemia and maintaining it for several hours, thanks to the combination of various differentiated protein blends at various release levels, through this extraordinary new-generation "blend" based on excellent sources of rapid, ultra-rapid and more gradual absorption, formulated in an optimal balance, in a product which to date is unrivalled in terms of formulation and certified quality of raw materials in its composition:
