Protein Factory: Super Plasma Protein

Super Plasma Protein, is > 90% protein isolate and made from hydrolyzed beef plasma. The powder is spray dried and concentrated into edible bovine plasma and is then made into bovine serum and concentrated to have an immunoglobulin content of 40% minimum. Unlike traditional sources of protein such as casein or whey, Super Plasma Protein is rich in naturally occurring, bioactive proteins and peptides. The bioactivity of the proteins offers the athlete benefits beyond an excellent amino acid profile.

Bodybuilding and Athletic Supplementation

The first new protein source to hit the market since whey protein 10 years ago, Super Plasma is a concentrate of serum, the gold-standard of all natural substances in supporting cell growth and proliferation.* Super Plasma Protein has three times the level of anabolic growth factors as whey!* It goes to work the minute it becomes soluble to promote protein synthesis, reduce protein turnover and enhance protein retention!* This will help you absorb amino acids more efficiently and increase the body's nitrogen balance.* It will also help users gain lean muscle mass by breaking the catabolic cycle with immunoglobulin and mitogenic growth factors such as IGF-1 and the immunomodulatory cytokine.* The main ingredient in Bovine Serum is immunoglobuling G.

Recent studies have opened up a new opportunity towards maximizing protein retention and lean body mass in the athlete. Cytokines also elicit catabolic effects on skeletal muscle which affects growth. Cytokine management, because of its potential to affect the catabolic component of physiological state, has tremendous promise towards increasing lean body mass and reducing muscle soreness. Below is a list of benefits surmised with research with the use of Bovine Serum:

• Bioactive Hormones, growth factors and cytokines promote cell growth*
• Activation of immune system thereby reducing protein and energy loss*
• Promotes intestinal function*
• Enhances nutrient utilization*
• Increases retained nitrogen, promotes weight gain*
• Increased retained energy*
• Reduced protein and amino acid catabolism, improves protein retention*
• Increases fat-free body mass*

Super Plasma vs. Standard Proteins

Proteins like casein, egg and whey can be used as sole sources of dietary protein due to a highly available, balanced, essential amino acid profile but these proteins have negligible bioactivity. Super Plasma on the other hand, is rich in bioactive proteins, which help promote amino acid utilization.* The proteins are larger and more complex in structure than in whey or casein, with a slow rate of digestion, which allows them to retain biological activity.* Ideally, Super Plasma should be combined with whey or other high quality protein sources lower in molecular weight with a more rapid rate of digestion. Retaining biological activity is critical to the dual-benefit of promoting amino acid utilization while also supporting immunity.*
