 PeptoPro is the first debitterized, hydrolyzed (pre-digested) protein powder made of mostly all di and tri peptides under 300 daltons. In addition, it is the best mixing protein powder in existence. So good that PeptoPro actually turns clear when mixed with water. Pepto Pro is a casein hydrolysate produced from milk protein. Casein is enzymatically hydrolyzed peptides using a new  and patented debitterizing process. This makes it the first hydrolyzed protein that can easily be used in a protein shake. Pepto Pro is unique because it contains over 80% peptides that are under 300 daltons. Normal food protein, like whey concentrate or whey isolate, is a polypeptide made up of thousands of units of amino acids. PeptoPro contains only short chain peptides (average length is less than 4 amino acids) which are water soluble. By being water soluble it not only makes the protein more digestible, but most importantly, makes it very user friendly. The small peptides from PeptoPro are directly and quickly taken up by the gut and released into the blood without digestion. Pepto Pro, as a casein hydrolysate, is a highly nutritious protein containing all essential amino acids in the correct ration for human health. This formula is an easily absorbed protein hydrolysate, which has been treated with proprietary enzymes to cut the protein into di-peptides and tri-peptides, while the well balanced amino acid profile of casein is left intact. It eliminates many of the technical problems and physiological side effects held by proteins, protein hydrolysates, and amino acids, while providing all of the advantages provided by these products. How is Pepto Pro Protein Manufactured? Starting from milk, the milk fat is removed and the casein is separated by acidifying and filtering from the skimmed milk. Casein is dissolved in water, alkalized and then first hydrolyzed with an endoproteasic enzyme. This produces the typical, but extremely bitter casein hydrolysate with which we are currently familiar. In a second unique hydrolysation step, detailed below, a proprietary enzyme (patent pending), specifically hydrolyses the bitter peptides. In this second step, the Pepto Pro casein hydrolysate with its special characteristics is produced. A certain portion of the protein we consume is not absorbed by our body but degraded by bacteria in our intestinal tract. Sometimes up to 40% of the consumed protein can disappear during the process. Also, a portion of the absorbed protein which reaches our blood is not used for protein synthesis but for energy production. In that case, the amino acids are transformed into carbohydrates by the gluconeogenesis in the liver. The liver transforms excess amino acids into carbohydrates by the gluconeogensiss in the liver. The liver transforms excess amino acids into glucose (gluconeogenesis) and the nitrogen of the amino acids is turned into ammonia and excreted as urea via the urine. The more nitrogen is found in the urine the more amino acids have been burned for energy production instead of being used for their main purpose, protein synthesis. The lower the nitrogen excretion in the urine, the more amino acids have been used for protein synthesis.
