NEW- PRODRIVE

Pro Drive™ was formulated to rehydrate your body and provide the necessary nutrients to promote repair and recovery from exercise. This refreshing and energizing ready-to-drink provides 20 grams of fast-acting protein per container. The functional whey protein isolate in Pro Drive™ along with natural carbohydrates and electrolytes quickly enters the bloodstream and provides the necessary nourishment to rehydrate your body, rapidly recover from exercise and promote muscle repair.†

Protein type does matter. Pro Drive™ provides high quality and bioactive whey protein isolate which is a complete protein containing all nine of the essential amino acids. Whey protein isolate contains a superior amino acid profile meticulously manufactured by a special cross-flow ultra-filtration and advanced microfiltration process. Whey protein isolate is considered by experts to be a “fast acting” protein having a rapid absorption rate at about 30 minutes or less making it the ideal form of protein following exercise. In terms of quality, there are many sophisticated methods for characterizing protein quality and whey protein isolate come up on top when compared to other types of proteins like collagen, casein, fish or soy. Some sports drinks are now using hydrolyzed collagen as a protein source. Although collagen is useful to support your hair, skin, nails, joints and other connective tissues it is not the best choice for a sports drink. Collagen does not have the ideal amino acid profile for your muscle.

Whey protein isolate is best for your muscles. Whey protein isolate is uniquely rich in a special group of amino acids called the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). The BCAAs are readily used as an energy source during exercise promoting muscle protein synthesis and growth and may help delay fatigue during endurance exercise. In fact, the amino acid profile found in Pro Drive™ are almost identical to those found in skeletal muscle so they are bio-identical and biochemically tailored to preserve muscle and maximize recovery. Whey protein isolate also contains beneficial whey protein fractions to promote recovery and immune system support including, beta-lactoglobulins, alpha-lactoglobulins, serum albumin, and lactoferrin. The “preferred best” method to measure protein quality is called the Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acids Score or PDCAAS. The PDCAAS measures protein quality based on the requirements and digestibility of amino acid for humans. As seen in the attached chart, whey protein isolate has a PDCAAS of 1.0 making it a superior protein. Other proteins like soy or collagen do not match up to the benefits of whey protein isolate for muscle recovery.

We chose agave as a natural carbohydrate in Pro Drive™ to facilitate the uptake of the amino acids from the whey protein into muscle cells for recovery. Science has proven that carbohydrates and proteins work together to accomplish this and hence the name Pro Drive™. Utilizing the “nutrient timing” concept of both carbohydrates and protein is most effective when taken after exercise. Agave also has the advantage of being a low glycemic index carbohydrate meaning that it will not cause a rapid rise and crash in blood sugar.

Pro Drive™ is also a COMPLETE electrolyte drink containing all five electrolytes including sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and chloride. Magnesium is critically important during exercise and for recovery. Most drinks that claim they contain all electrolytes do not contain magnesium. Electrolyte replacement is essential as they can be critically lost during exercise in sweat. Pro Drive™ has them all along with 100% Daily Value of Vitamin C.

Pro Drive™ can be consumed before, during and following exercise and is the ideal hydrating whey protein drink designed to rehydrate, recover and repair your body. Perfect for the on-the-go lifestyle.

Be a champion, drink Pro Drive™!

For active individuals to achieve positive nitrogen balance, most experts recommend 1.5 – 2.0 grams protein per kilogram body weight per day.
