PeptoPro®: What is it?

PeptoPro® is unique in being a pre-digested milk protein, derived from casein, which is neutral in taste. The secret lies in a patent-protected enzyme that reduces the typical bitter taste at the same time as generating tiny protein fragments (so-called peptides) that are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream and so fuel the muscles.

PeptoPro® is a groundbreaking all-natural product developed by DSM scientists. It is widely known that amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, are crucial for muscle function. But consuming intact proteins, means these amino acids first need to be liberated by gastro-intestinal digestion and this costs precious time and energy. Intact proteins can lead to discomfort during physical activity. Proteins can be pre-digested to deliver bioavailable amino acids, but this generally produces a bitter taste. PeptoPro® can be provided in a variety of pleasant tasting powders, drinks, gels or energy bars.
