thescience, or somebody from MAN, please explain this question that I've had about PF3 and the other product which I shall not name out of respect. This is a question I had which the rep from the other company, who's name shall not be named here, was unable to answer
.
awesome question. first off, taking 10 grams of the other product sounds pretty innovative; its like something i would try. from what i know about with the serving size on that product though, and the cost of the container, i personally couldnt afford what all that would cost. great idea though; if money were no object, id have dont it. im excited about PF3 because of the amount given for the price point.
Here goes:If 1 serving of PF3 is the equivalent of let's say 10 grams of whey protein or even 25 grams of whey protein (25 grams is what is claimed by the other company's product) worth of bioactive peptides, why would this be superior to just taking the whey protein in the first place? If the answer is that you are now doubling the amount of bioactive peptides without doubling the calories/aminos/etc.
so that you can better absorb aminos for muscle protein synthesis (which is kind of what the other company very vaguely is trying to imply as far as I could understand from what they were saying about their product), why wouldn't one then just opt to take two scoops of whey protein instead?
with regards to you question about just doubling your protein, say whey isolate, instead; we are talking about a compound that im told comprises 3% of a protein product. at 20g a serving of whey isolate, that would equate approximately 600mg, instead of the 6.5gram to 13 gram serving suggestions with PF3.
I mean, if more of these peptides in ones system causes better AA absorption for muscle protein synthesis, doubling ones servings for a shake would also double the amount of bioactive peptides right?
what you said about bioactive peptides and amino acid absorption is very interesting to me. the idea MANSports advertized stating a vacuum effect on absorption has made alot of people curious and skeptical. While we dont have confirmation of ratios, %'s, or even all the substances in PF3 at this time, I would love to start talking about bioactive peptides for the sake of discussion however, as i have alot to say about them
just going to throw this out there about oral IGF benefits even when not carried into the bloodstream:
"
IGF-1 and EGF stimulate the growth and proliferation of the mucosa that results in a larger surface area for nutrient absorption in the gut as well as a more developed barrier function."
