Sustain Protein: Low-Carb Micellar Protein Matrix
SUSTAIN™ combines the highest quality protein blend available, an unmatched
flavoring system, and just enough inulin to create a precise protein matrix that
will optimize your workouts and your physique.
SUSTAIN™ unites its primary ingredient, ultra high quality Micellar Casein
protein, with microfiltered whey protein isolates and concentrates, and inulin
(a long chain, low glycemic fiber) to provide both a rapid and a sustained
release of amino acids. Ideal for use any time during the day, SUSTAIN™
stimulates protein synthesis, prevents muscle tissue breakdown, and ensures
nitrogen retention remains high, all while maintaining stable blood sugar levels
up to eight hours after ingestion. This is the perfect combination to SUSTAIN™
your diet and maximize lean tissue growth.
Low-Carb Micellar Protein Matrix
At the core of SUSTAIN™ lie the two most popular choices of protein powder, whey
(in isolated and concentrated fractions) and casein (micellar). These two
protein-types display potent effect on inhibiting protein breakdown and
promoting protein synthesis, but not if used alone. Whey protein, the
“fast-acting” protein, rapidly enters the bloodstream and exerts a considerable
effect on increasing muscle protein synthesis (growth) rates. While this is
ideal in some circumstances, the rapid entrance and clearance to and from the
bloodstream does little to reduce protein breakdown. Casein protein on the other
hand, the “slow-acting” protein, coagulates in the stomach forming a more
timed-release of amino acids into the bloodstream. This effect raises muscle
protein synthesis rates to a lesser extent than whey, but exerts a much more
significant effect on protein breakdown inhibition over time and ensures muscle
protein synthesis rates remain elevated for upwards of eight hours!
Putting it into Practice
The question here is when to use SUSTAIN™, and the answer is quite simply
anytime. While not absolutely ideal for solo post workout nutrition (that
accolade is reserved for Replenish™), SUSTAIN™ is optimally formulated to
fulfill protein requirements both post workout and throughout the day without
the concern that the precious aminos you are drinking are being oxidized rapidly
into glucose as is the case for whey protein alone. Each serving of SUSTAIN™
provides 20 grams of a high quality micellar casein and whey protein blend and
can be used on its own or in additional to some form of carbohydrates and fat to
form a more complete “MRP.”
For an ideal combination of post-workout nutrition, Designer Supplements
recommends one serving of Replenish™ immediately after training to rapidly
promote protein and glycogen synthesis, followed approximately sixty to ninety
minutes later by a serving of SUSTAIN™ along with a whole-food meal to ensure
protein synthesis rates remain high.
Summary
One fundamental aspect of nutrition for the athlete or bodybuilder is to get the
majority of his or her increased amount of daily protein from whole-food
sources, however this is not always easy or practical to achieve. SUSTAIN™
offers a valuable alternative for convenience and taste that is high in quality
protein peptides combined for a sustained release. Fortified with inulin, a
soluble fiber that further delays digestion while having minimal effect on blood
sugar levels itself, SUSTAIN™ is an ideal choice for protein intake at anytime
of day.
At launch, enjoy the creamy texture of Peanut Butter Fudge SUSTAIN™, the first
in what will inevitably prove to be a highly innovative and creative line of
flavoring systems designed that taste magnificent and fit many different
palates.
