MMSN » Albupro

Albupro is the newest addition to Max Muscle Sports Nutrition’s extensive line of
proteins. Albupro is pure 100% egg white albumen that many athletes and nutritionists
consider Nature’s almost perfect food source of protein. Egg white albumen is ideal for
supporting and building muscle mass and a great alternative from whey, casein or other
proteins. Albupro blends quickly into a delicious and refreshing protein packed shake
supplying your body with 24 grams (48% Daily Value) of superior quality and fast
assimilating egg white protein that is fat-free with no cholesterol, sugars or dairy.
The egg white albumen protein found in Albupro is a nutritionally complete protein
containing all nine of the essential amino acids. Essential amino acids cannot be
synthesized by the human body and must come from the diet. A “preferred best”
method for evaluating the quality of protein is called the Protein Digestibility Corrected
Amino Acid Score or PDCAAS. The PDCAAS is based on the amino acid profile in
addition to digestibility and bioavailability of that protein in humans. A PDCAAS of 1.0 is
the highest possible value and the egg protein in Albupro rate at 1.0.
Egg white albumen is uniquely rich in the important branched-chain amino acids
(BCAAs) leucine, valine and isoleucine. The BCAAs, especially leucine, are readily
oxidized as an energy source during stress in addition to effectively promoting positive
nitrogen balance for muscle protein synthesis and may help delay fatigue during
endurance exercise. Additionally, egg white albumen can be effective to promote quick
recovery from resistance training or other forms of exercise. Egg albumen is rich in
glutamic acid important in the support of muscle growth and repair and is an important
amino acid for healthy immune and intestinal function. The naturally occurring rich
levels of leucine found in Albupro support the muscle enzyme activators Akt/mTOR
(rapamycin) and p70 S6 kinase essential to promote protein synthesis.
Once ingested, egg white albumen is broken down to the amino acids, absorbed and
distributed throughout the body and serve as building blocks for muscles, bones,
cartilage, skin and blood.†
Albupro is as good as food protein gets. Albupro is instantized and mixes effortlessly.
It is very versatile as a stand-alone shake with water, milk, or juice. It can also be added
to oatmeal, pancake mixes or muffin recipes.
