Pro Lode - Whey protein isolate with added L'Glutamine.

Pro-Lode contains one of the most technically advanced natural proteins available today. The high quality Whey Protein Isolate powder has been blended with L'Glutamine, vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates to provide a well balanced nutritious body food for today's athlete. Pro-Lode is the ideal pre and post exercise nutritional supplement.

Pro-Lode is part of the Carb-Lode and Creatin-Lode family, supplying the nutritional needs to gain the most from your training programme.

The Whey Protein Isolate contained in Pro-Lode encompasses many benefits for today's athlete and is a vital ingredient in many sports products. All protein contained in Pro-Lode is pure Whey Protein Isolate, we do not blend our Whey Protein Isolate with inferior sources.

The Whey Protein Isolate used in Pro-Lode is produced using a Cross Flow Microfiltration (CFM) process, this is a natural non-chemical process that filters out the fat, cholesterol, and denatured proteins whilst preserving its natural shape, solubility and biological activity. Unprocessed whey proteins contain a high level of calcium, the CFM process reduces sodium while retaining this calcium. Isolate proteins produced using the alternative and less expensive ion exchange process are significantly higher in sodium and lower in calcium.

The CFM process is unique in that a full range of proteins is maintained in the final product, for example, the glycomacropeptides which are biologically active proteins, are excluded by the ion exchange process but recovered by the CFM process.

Biologically active foods are foods that have a positive health benefit when consumed. The biological activity of whey protein is dependent on the undenatured conformation of the individual whey proteins and is unrelated to its nutritional quality. The whey protein utilised in Pro Lode contains the highest levels of undenatured protein available (>99%).

Associated benefits of Pro-Lode's Whey Protein Isolate:

- contains more protein and less fat per serving than other forms of protein.
- highest levels of undenatured protein available >99%.
- highest 'Biological value' and 'Protein Efficiency Ratio' of any protein.
- contains just the right combination of amino acids at the right concentration for optimal performance.
- high in branch chain and essential amino acids.
- enhances endurance, increases lean muscle mass and reduces muscle deterioration.
- is a significant source of biologically available calcium.
- is virtually fat, cholesterol and lactose free.
- contains glycomacropeptides - a bioactive peptide shown to have:
o antiviral and antibacterial properties,
o digestion regulation properties

Glutamine is the most common amino acid found in muscles - over 61% of skeletal muscle is Glutamine. Glutamine consists of 19% nitrogen, making it the primary transporter of nitrogen into your muscle cells.

During training, Glutamine levels are greatly depleted in your body, which decreases strength, stamina, and recovery.

Associated benefits of L' Glutamine supplementation:

- increased muscle hardness.
- increased muscle cell hydration.
- increase in protein synthesis.
- increase in muscle strength and cell recovery.
- minimises muscle breakdown and improves protein metabolism.
- helps metabolise fat and support new muscle growth.

Recommended intake for bodybuilders - 10 to 15 grams per day, supplementing it 2 to 3 times daily.
