Aminogen®

Aminogen® is a unique enzymatic compound, which has been shown in recent scientific research to possibly assist protein assimilation by creating protein peptides and preferentially liberating branch-chain amino acids from whole proteins. In other words, Aminogen® will search for and latch onto the protein, breaking free the essential amino acids from their protein bond. Aminogen® will enhance the absorption of the amino acids present in the protein supplement. The need for costly free-form amino acids has now been eliminated, thanks to Aminogen®. Your intake of protein, whether it be in foods or as a supplement, may not have to be as high since you are now absorbing more.

What is Aminogen?

Aminogen is a patented enzyme system that can liberate free-form amino acids from any protein-containing food.

What is an Enzyme?

It is a bioactive polypeptide coded to break down a specific substrate. In this case, it breaks proteins down to free-form amino acids.

Doesn't my body produce enough enzymes needed to release these amino acids from protein?

No, your body can not naturally digest all the protein. Aminogen has the ability to release more amino acids from protein than the action of your digestive enzymes alone.

What are amino acids?

Amino acids are necessary building blocks of all proteins; commonly referred to as muscle food.

What are the types of amino acids and what are there primary functions?

Important amino acids for athletes are as follows:
Glutamine - known to have an effect on body composition, regulation of body weight and the immune system.
Branched Chain Amino Acids known as Isoleucine, Leucine and Valine - known to promote protein synthesis, serve as muscle fuel, combat fatigue and strengthen the immune system.
Arginine - known to have a positive effect on weight loss and body fat loss; as well as, serve as a precursor for creatine which may increase the size and strength of muscles.
Lysine - known to release growth hormones.

How does Aminogen work?

Aminogen works its best when you are on a high protein diet. According to the RDA a high protein diet is anything over 56g of protein per day based on a 150 pound person. Again, Aminogen, as defined above, works with your body and on the protein in your digestive system to make more free amino acids available for use by the body.

Why do I need these proteins broken down into amino acids?

Many athletes ingest higher amounts of protein in attempt to supply additional amino acids for the building and repair of muscle tissue. Others rely on ingesting large amounts of amino acids supplements.

Where do these free amino acids go after they are released?

The free amino acids released by Aminogen circulate to perform vital functions in the body, such as building muscles, resulting in body compositional change.

What is the advantage of taking Aminogen over other digestive enzyme-based supplements?

By taking Aminogen with your high protein diet you are enabling your body to absorb more free amino acids from the protein you ingest to build muscle, increase lean body mass, decrease body fat and support vital body functions. Ultimately, you are eliminating the need to ingest other free form amino acid supplements that are not natural, work slower and cost more money.

Who will benefit from taking Aminogen?

Anyone who is on a high protein diet and interested in getting the highest amount of amino acids from the protein they eat in order to build the body. You do not have to be a body builder to benefit from Aminogen. If your protein needs are great, or if you are required to control your protein intake, Aminogen will maximize the benefits of the protein you eat.

What is the scientific support for Aminogen?

Controlled laboratory studies consisting of a simulated human gastrointestinal model have demonstrated that 42% more free form amino acids were released with Aminogen at a dose of 250mg per 100g of protein.
Animal studies have shown that by taking Aminogen (50mg/1g of protein), you will achieve 20% more free form amino acids in the bloodstream while taking Aminogen than by your natural digestive secretions alone.

Is Aminogen all natural?

Yes.

Are than any side effects of Aminogen?

The only side effect is less gas.

Can I take too much Aminogen?

Too much of anything isn't good, but Aminogen through animal studies has been shown to be non-toxic.

What is the product life?

Aminogen will last 2 years when sealed in an air tight container.

How should the product be stored?

Aminogen should be stored in a cool, dry place.
