Whey Protein Precision Isolate (Kaizen) - Average rating (4 reviews)  - Write a review Show Reviews Reviews 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. April 20, 2007 Reviewer: A customer in New York This is my second week using the Kaizen Vanilla Isolate. I must say that it surprised me that it tasted so good. I was buying it for muscle building and the good cost was also a consideration but when I mixed it with 8oz of water and half cup of frozen blueberries it was excellent. I usually just mix it with a few frozen strawberries/blueberries or sugar free punch drink or sugar free flavored soda like orange...and drink 2-3 times per day (it mixes very well, I use my blender). I feel a positive difference in my body already. This review is specific to Whey Protein Precision Isolate, Vanilla Was this review helpful to you?

August 09, 2007 Reviewer: Bridget in Colorado I found some weird black spots in this product, so I called Kaizen and they're replacing it, and paying me back. I hope it doesn't turn out to be anything because this is one of my favorite products. I make very low carb pancakes and waffles out of the vanilla, they're amazing...here's the recipe: -1 scoop protein -one egg -1 tbl canola oil -1 tbl water -1 tbl cinnamon -slightly less than 1/4 tsp baking powder Mix the first five ingredients together thoroughly, then add baking powder and combine. Let sit for two minutes then pour onto lightly greased griddle or frying pan heated to medium or into waffle maker. Make sure your pan or waffle maker is completely preheated for best results...enjoy! This review is specific to Whey Protein Precision Isolate, Vanilla Was this review helpful to you?

Taste great, contains Aminogen to aid in absorbtion of protein, and contains all kinds of other quality muscle building ingredients. This is virtually the same make-up of Optimum Nutrition's Gold Protein, but this is a lot cheaper. Great buy!

AminoGen - You're not what you eat - You are what you absorb

Imagine if you could eat the same amount of protein food and supplements - or even less - and get more amino acids needed to build muscle, increase lean body mass, decrease body fat and support vital body functions. Aminogen® helps to maximize the amount of amino acids released from protein food and supplements. Essentially, it enables you to get more amino acids from the protein foods and supplements you ingest.

On a comparative basis, more amino acids are released from protein when Aminogen® is used than by natural digestive secretions alone. The amino acids released by Aminogen® then circulate to perform vital functions in the body, such as building muscles, resulting in body compostional change. Researchers found that all amino acids, essential and conditionally essential, including the branched chain amino acids, are released in greater amounts when protein is digested with Aminogen®.

What is Aminogen?

Aminogen is a patented enzyme system that can liberate free-form amino acids from any protein-containing food.

What is an Enzyme?

It is a bioactive polypeptide coded to break down a specific substrate. In this case, it breaks proteins down to free-form amino acids.

Doesn't my body produce enough enzymes needed to release these amino acids from protein?

No, your body can not naturally digest all the protein. Aminogen has the ability to release more amino acids from protein than the action of your digestive enzymes alone.

What are amino acids?

Amino acids are necessary building blocks of all proteins; commonly referred to as muscle food.

What are the types of amino acids and what are there primary functions?

Important amino acids for athletes are as follows:
Glutamine - known to have an effect on body composition, regulation of body weight and the immune system.
Branched Chain Amino Acids known as Isoleucine, Leucine and Valine - known to promote protein synthesis, serve as muscle fuel, combat fatigue and strengthen the immune system.
Arginine - known to have a positive effect on weight loss and body fat loss; as well as, serve as a precursor for creatine which may increase the size and strength of muscles.
Lysine - known to release growth hormones.

How does Aminogen work?

Aminogen works its best when you are on a high protein diet. According to the RDA a high protein diet is anything over 56g of protein per day based on a 150 pound person. Again, Aminogen, as defined above, works with your body and on the protein in your digestive system to make more free amino acids available for use by the body.

Why do I need these proteins broken down into amino acids?

Many athletes ingest higher amounts of protein in attempt to supply additional amino acids for the building and repair of muscle tissue. Others rely on ingesting large amounts of amino acids supplements.

Where do these free amino acids go after they are released?

The free amino acids released by Aminogen circulate to perform vital functions in the body, such as building muscles, resulting in body compositional change.

What is the advantage of taking Aminogen over other digestive enzyme-based supplements?

By taking Aminogen with your high protein diet you are enabling your body to absorb more free amino acids from the protein you ingest to build muscle, increase lean body mass, decrease body fat and support vital body functions. Ultimately, you are eliminating the need to ingest other free form amino acid supplements that are not natural, work slower and cost more money.

Who will benefit from taking Aminogen?

Anyone who is on a high protein diet and interested in getting the highest amount of amino acids from the protein they eat in order to build the body. You do not have to be a body builder to benefit from Aminogen. If your protein needs are great, or if you are required to control your protein intake, Aminogen will maximize the benefits of the protein you eat.

What is the scientific support for Aminogen?

Controlled laboratory studies consisting of a simulated human gastrointestinal model have demonstrated that 42% more free form amino acids were released with Aminogen at a dose of 250mg per 100g of protein.
Animal studies have shown that by taking Aminogen (50mg/1g of protein), you will achieve 20% more free form amino acids in the bloodstream while taking Aminogen than by your natural digestive secretions alone.

Is Aminogen all natural?

Yes.

Are than any side effects of Aminogen?

The only side effect is less gas.

Can I take too much Aminogen?

Too much of anything isn't good, but Aminogen through animal studies has been shown to be non-toxic.

What is the product life?

Aminogen will last 2 years when sealed in an air tight container.

How should the product be stored?

Aminogen should be stored in a cool, dry place.
