The Challenge
Your rate of muscle growth is governed by two critical and controllable factors: your rate of anabolism, which increases muscle mass, and your rate of catabolism, which destroys muscle tissue. These two cycles continue within your body twenty-four hours a day. The challenge is to feed your body in such a way so you maximize anabolism and limit catabolism.
The Research
The latest research1 proves that a unique combination of proteins in an exact ratio will maximize your muscle growth. To get the maximum anabolic and anti-catabolic effect, you need to ingest whey protein concentrate with a precisely balanced amount of micellar casein. Using nature’s most perfect growth formula as a model, mother’s milk, Muscle-Link has created Pro-Fusion to provide both the quick-acting effect of whey proten concentrate for anabolic action and the sustained amino acid release of micellar casein to give you hours of positive nitrogen balance. Without that your muscles cannot grow.
The Solution
If anabolism were the only goal, whey protein would be the ideal protein source. But science has proven that building muscle on a continuous basis involves both anabolic and anti-catabolic requirements. If you are only using a whey protein, you are only meeting part of the challenge of insuring the continuous amino acid flow which is essential for optimum muscle growth.
Muscle-Link chooses whey concentrate over other more processed wheys (micro ultra filtration, ultra filtered, etc.) because we know that the more processing that is involved, the more of the micronutrients that are a part of natural whey are destroyed.
These “fractions” including lactoferrin are essential to rapid muscle growth. All those fanciful marketing names for whey lower the fat and carbohydrate content slightly but also destroy many protein fractions and micronutrients that are essential for maximum muscle growth. Muscle-Link believes that this extra processing creates marketing glitz that produces an inferior source of whey proteins.
Complete milk protein containing Micellar Casein is the Gold Standard of milk proteins.
Do not confuse micellar casein with ordinary casein, an overly processed protein which is not as biologically active as the micellar form. Muscle-Link chose micellar casein because it is simply the best solution to the anti-catabolic challenge. A continuous stream of amino acids is at the heart of the continuous growth cycle.
Extra glutamine is added to the formula because it is the most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue. Pro-Fusion gives you 10 grams of its most efficient, easily absorbed form, glutamine peptide.
