Details Dietary supplement. 30 Servings. Naturally & artificially flavored. With Zytrix - Advanced enzyme matrix. Time release formula. Multi-protein matrix. Helps feed muscle up to 12 hours. Elite 12 Hour Protein is designed to be the ultimate muscle fuel and workout recovery formula. Knowing that protein repairs muscle after the workout, and fuels the body throughout the day, Dymatize wanted to develop a product that took recovery to the next level, one that would revolutionize the protein category. After a battery of tests and trials, we have developed a calculated protein timing system that we call Sustained Muscle Saturation Technology (SMST). How does SMST work? Different proteins have different chemical compositions and different rates at which they can be assimilated by the body. By developing an absorption time-line of the highest quality proteins, we were able to create the basis of the 12-hour formula. We then added the advanced enzyme matrix Zytrix to more efficiently aid in the absorption of proteins, as well as a lipid blend that specifically promotes a longer absorption rate of the proteins allowing for a complete anabolic, nitrogen rich environment to be sustained in the body. To develop Dymatize 12 Hour Protein, every facet of protein usage was analyzed. Nitrogen retention and absorption is a combination of several different factors and each source of protein has its own results. These factors include: 1. Rate of Absorption (RA), the rate of each different protein source releases its amino acids. 2. Protein Digestibility Correct Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS). An evaluation best method used by the FDA and FAO/WHO which uses nitrogen absorption and amino acid profile to rate quality. 3. Amino Acid Profile. Each protein source has its own unique amino acid profile. 4. Biological Value (BV). Derived from the amount of nitrogen absorbed over the amount of nitrogen incorporated into the body. Helps determine the amount of protein absorbed from different protein sources. 5. Net Protein Utilization (NPU) is used to determine the ideal amount of essential amino acids. 6. Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER), - similar to PDCAAS. We determined that no single existing natural protein source was ideal for achieving extended release anabolic effects. The optimal source was found to be a fusion of several different protein sources, including free form branch chain amino acids and other free form amino acids. Whey protein has the highest BV of any natural protein source, the highest rating of PDCAAS and forms the basis of our 12 Hour Protein. Top rated performers milk and egg protein have also been added to fully enhance whey's effectiveness over a sustained period of time. Our exclusive blend helps enhance and prolong the positive nitrogen balance Dymatize 12 Hour Protein was developed to help you achieve. Dymatize 12 Hour Protein: Extended protein release fuels muscles up to 12 hours. Contains the most anabolic/anti catabolic protein source available. Great source of protein anytime, morning, pre/post workout, and nighttime. Keep positive nitrogen balance all day and while you sleep. Loaded with nitrogen producing protein, glutamine and branch chain amino acids (BCAAs). No added fructose, sucrose, fillers, maltodextrin, or aspartame. Manufactured at a FDA inspected facility. EEC Approved. (These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.) Manufactured in the USA.
