Lean Muscle gain

CONTROLLED LABS DH20 HYDROLYZED 
WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE


What is it for?

Controlled Labs DH20 is a 100% hydrolyzed whey protein isolate with a degree of hydrolysis of 20% as the sole protein source. In addition to the premium quality 100% Hydrolyzed Isolate, free form leucine and digestive enzymes Protease and Lactase help maximise the benefits and support digestion.

Controlled Labs DH20 is designed specifically to be used as a post workout protein, formulated to dramatically stimulate protein synthesis ( in simple terms,      muscle growth) and enhance recovery.

HOW DOES IT WORK?


Fast Acting Easily Assimilated and Fast Acting Di and Tri Peptides.
Intense exercise can greatly reduce the capacity of the gastrointestinal tract to digest whole proteins found in foods such as dairy. Compared with whole proteins, Di and Tri peptides are rapidly absorbed through the gut within 20 minutes without bloating or gastric upset.  Di and Tri peptides contained within the hydrolyzed protein are assimilated intact by way of a peptide transport system in the gut. As such, they are rapidly digested and transport into the blood stream faster then whole proteins. It is the Di and Tri peptides that provide hydrolyzed proteins with an advantage over intact proteins like whey protein concentrate and whey protein isolate during the post event post training window.

Stimulates an insulin response for improved nutrient uptake and growth.
The combination of peptide bound leucine and free form leucine plus the rapid acting nature of the hydrolyzed whey protein isolate promote the  the release of insulin from the pancreas. Insulin is a highly anabolic hormone that is responsible  for the storage of nutrients in insulin sensitive cells. Post resistance training, muscle cells are sensitive to the effects of insulin for up to three hours. Consuming Controlled Labs DH20 during this anabolic window period lets athletes naturally capitalise on the recovering muscle cells' increased nutritional requirements and receptivity to insulin.

Initiates the process of muscle protein synthesis.
Leucine is considered to be the most anabolic amino acid and stimulates protein synthesis in an equivalent manner to a whole protein. Leucine has demonstrated it's capacity to influence the fate of the other two branch chain amino acids ( Valine and Isoleeucine) for use in muscle protein synthesis, therby making it integral to the effectiveness of the BCAAs in supporting recovery. The combination of peptide bonded and free form leucine in the formula is designed to enhance protein synthesis and initiate the process as quickly as possible.


Helps support the digestive system.
Protease and Lactase have been added to the formula to enhance amino acid availability and offset any potential issues with the minute amount of lactose present in the hydrolyzed whey protein isolate.

Who is this product recommended for?
This product is ideal for athletes who want an easily digested and light protein for the post training/event window period. Most resistance training athletes will have a general purpose protein that they use throughout the day that has a 3-7 hour release rate. Post training they may wish to use a dedicated protein that has a much faster release rate and supplies their physiological needs for readily accessible  and useable protein to aid the repair of damaged muscles.

Carnitine may enhance the conversion of fat stores into energy, therefore benefiting in weight management.

Carnitine is involved in cellular energy production, therefore aiding in efficient muscular function.

Carnitine also improves the body's glucose utilisation and insulin sensitivity, therefore beneficial for balancing blood sugar levels and minimising sugar cravings.

Carnitne also reduces delayed onset muscle sorness, therefore taken post training carnitine can improve recovery from exercise.

Carnithin is perfect for those who are seeking weight management plus extra energy during their training and assistance with crucial recovery needed post training...

The Athletes Shopping Cart

It is important to remember that YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT and ABSORB!!
Individuals who train for weight management, muscle gain or competition, must remember to provide their bodies with food of the highest nutritional value as possible.

Food that is highly processed serves no purpose in a trainer's kitchen. In fact it is likely to be the biggest enemy in regard to achieving results.

Organic food should be chosen wherever possible.
Filtered pH balanced water should also be consumed pH between 7 and 8 preferably.
EVA Life is a great brand with a pH of 8.3.

A WORD ON HIGH PROTEIN DIETS

Individuals who exercise, often and consume high-protein diets. here are some important considerations.
  1. Protein can be acidic, therefore consider balancing with high alkaline foods and supplements. A good rule of thumb is 80% alkaline and 20% acidic foods.
  2. Protein can deplete the body of digestive enzymes, causing poor digestion and assimilation of nutrients. This problem can be addressed by eating plenty of vegetables( must be raw!) or supplementing with digestive enzyme formulas.
  3. High fibre intake must accompany high protein intake for proper bowel elimination and detoxification. Psyllium husks are an excellent cheap fibre.

Here is a great website to checkout that provides and yes delivers, fresh Organic fruit and veg, along with great recipes on raw and superfood smoothies etc.
