Pro Jym Review

• Mucuna Pruriens seed extract – helps the body provide support to the dopamine system in the brain.
• Longjack root extract – Longjack is a flowering plant native SE Asia. It has been shown to help the body restore optimal testosterone levels in aging males.
• Nettle root extract – good for fibre, and may assist the body with optimizing the level of androgens, including free testosterone and DHT.
• Red clover flower extract – Eurasian herb used for nutrient values. Can help the body balance out any disruptive hormonal fluctuations.
• Luteolin – found naturally in celery, lemons, peppermint, oregano and a handful of other herbs. Acts as an antioxidant and general anti-inflammatory for non-medical conditions.
• Beta Alanine – Beta-alanine is a non-essential amino acid found naturally in foods. Helps maintain an optimal pH level in the blood.
• BCAA Amino blend.
• L-Glutamine.
• Aspartic Acid.
• Resveratrol – a polyphenol found in berries and cacao, providing great taste and shows potential as a helpful agent in certain types of weight management.
• BioPerine (Black Pepper Extract)® – shown in clinical research to promote increased absorption of nutrients in supplement formulations.
• Vitamin B6.
• Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B-5)

Ingredient Explanations

Protein Blend comprising

1. Whey Protein Isolate – One of two proteins found in milk and other dairy proteins (the other being casein). Whey protein is a common component in protein powders. It is absorbed much quicker than other proteins, and delivers a large amount of the amino acid L-cysteine. Consuming more protein often leads to fat loss, which is a feature of protein consumption rather than whey specifically. Crucially, whey protein appears to increase the synthesis of muscle protein to a higher level than other proteins.
2. Micellar Casein – The second protein present in milk, casein delivers on muscle protein synthesis, although not to the same degree as whey protein. However, casein decrease body fat mass and increases lean body mass to a greater extent than hydrolyzed whey [R.H Demling, L DeSanti, Effect of a hypocaloric diet, increased protein intake and resistance training on lean mass gains and fat mass loss in overweight police officers, Ann Nutr Metab, 2000; 44:21]. An early study in the mid 1990s found that postprandial [“after a meal”] whole body protein synthesis was increased 68% after ingestion of whey protein, but only 31% after ingestion of casein. This supports the statement that whey is more effective than casein when it comes to synthesising proteins. That said, the combination of whey and casein is beneficial.
3. Egg Protein – Fifteen grams of egg white protein contain 1,341 mg of leucine, 837 mg of isoleucine), and 1,096 mg of valine. Furthermore, there is no doubting the benefits of consuming egg whites to boost muscle mass; indeed, data showed that leucine induces a maximal skeletal muscle protein anabolic response in young adults, which suggests that leucine-rich egg white protein intake might have an important effect on body mass growth.

Sunflower Lecithin

Lecithin is a purified substance called phosphatidyl choline (PC), which belongs to a category of fat-soluble substances called phospholipids. Lecithin is converted into acetylcholine, a substance that transmits nerve impulses, so whilst it may not have a direct effect on muscle growth in protein powders, lecithin may be useful for general health.

Sucralose

An artificial sweetener and sugar substitute
