Improve performance with Peptopro.

Signalling a new generation in sports nutrition, Maxim recently announced the launch of Energy + Restitution, a powdered drink to optimise fluid balance during exercise.

Containing the right mix of carbohydrates and minerals, Energy + Restitution also incorporates the award-winning peptide PeptoPro[R] from DSM Food Specialties, to actively promote improved endurance, performance and restitution.

Kelly Hendriks, sports nutritionist at Maxim, said: "We wanted to create a sports drink which worked on a number of levels to improve overall sports performance. The result is Energy + Restitution - a highly effective hypotonic drink which not only delivers fast hydration but also works to reduce muscle fatigue thanks to the inclusion of PeptoPro. As a highly soluble protein hydrolysate, PeptoPro ensures the body's muscles receive the protein they need quickly and effectively and so helps to actively reduce muscle damage. With its proven properties, quick absorption and neutral taste, PeptoPro delivers the benefits we were looking for. We have received some very positive teedback from athletes already and believe that Energy + Restitution will continue to he well-received by consumers."

PeptoPro is a peptide based on natural milk protein. Due to its small chains of di- and tri-peptides, it can be fully and rapidly absorbed by the body without adversely affecting the digestive system. Its amino acids are therefore made available to the muscles considerably faster than if conventional sources of protein are consumed.
