WHAT SETS ISAGENIX APART...
100% grass-fed New Zealand whey protein concentrate. There are very few companies that use this type of protein; the fact that this is the best protein source is undisputed in the world of elite sports nutrition. It is cold-processed. Not only is this protein HIGHLY absorbed by your body, but cold-processing it also preserves the immune factors that are naturally found in whey protein, improving your own immunity. (Isolates and hydrolyzed proteins DO NOT do this, as the immune factors are removed during processing.)
Live digestive enzymes
HIGHEST branch chain amino acid supply (NON-synthetic)
Have the most important Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's): Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine. These directly stimulate the MTOR pathways that provide muscle growth, recovery, and repair.
TRACE MINERALS. These are essential if you are serious about improving your game. If you want to improve your game, you must improve your health at a cellular level.
Probiotics
CLEAN FAT profile (MCT oil/Flax seed) These medium-chain triglycerides give endurance and energy while helping shed fat.
More about mTOR and Protein Synthesis:
Protein synthesis
mTORC1 positively controls protein synthesis, which is required for cell growth, through various downstream effectors. mTORC1 promotes protein synthesis by phosphorylating the eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E)-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1) and the p70 ribosomal S6 kinase 1 (S6K1). The phosphorylation of 4E-BP1 prevents its binding to eIF4E, enabling eIF4E to promote cap-dependent translation (reviewed by Richter and Sonenberg, 2005). The stimulation of S6K1 activity by mTORC1 leads to increases in mRNA biogenesis, cap-dependent translation and elongation, and the translation of ribosomal proteins through regulation of the activity of many proteins, such as S6K1 aly/REF-like target (SKAR), programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4), eukaryotic elongation factor 2 kinase (eEF2K) and ribosomal protein S6 (reviewed by Ma and Blenis, 2009). The activation of mTORC1 has also been shown to promote ribosome biogenesis by stimulating the transcription of ribosomal RNA through a process involving the protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) and the transcription initiation factor IA (TIF-IA) (Mayer et al., 2004).
