- Product Highlights
The 3 branched amino acids are the most important amino acids in case of a sports program. Indeed, a supplementation in BCAA after the effort allows to stimulate the protein synthesis and the muscular growth and so to improve the recovery.
With its high content of essential amino acids, Helitein® is comparable to eggs (regularly cited as a reference for its protein richness and essential amino acid composition). On this graph you can see the comparison of the concentration of essential amino acids in snails and eggs.
In addition, Helitein® includes a high carbohydrate and lipid intake. After a physical effort, energy reserves are at their lowest. It is therefore necessary to provide a source of carbohydrate and lipid energy in order to spare the amino acids that will be used for muscle synthesis.
This ingredient, derived from the biological potential of the snail, is very easy to digest and allows a better assimilation of proteins. It can be produced from the hepatopancreas of Helix Aspersa or Helix Pomatia.
