Aminogen Boosts Whey Absorption

February 2008

A new clinical study indicates that adding Aminogen® to processed whey protein may double or even triple the rate at which whey protein is absorbed. According to the study, the increased absorption rate raises levels of free amino acids by 100% and branched-chain amino levels (BCAAs) by 250% more than when whey protein is digested without the patented enzyme system. The study also showed that adding Aminogen increases nitrogen retention by 32%. The study investigated serum blood levels of free amino acids and BCAAs in 21 healthy males who consumed 50 grams of whey protein with and without Aminogen. The rate of absorption increased 220% to 350% over controls, depending on how much Aminogen was added. Researchers said Aminogen accelerates absorption before the protein moves too far along the digestive tract.
