Description

ABB's Pure Pro Shake combines high quality protein and valuable branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, valine and isoleucine. ABB has enhanced the formula with a proprietary protein blend of milk protein concentrate, casein and whey protein isolate. This super high protein drink promotes muscle recovery after challenging workouts and performance. Pure Pro Shake also maximizes a positive nitrogen balance in muscle. This means that high levels of protein are maintained in the muscle, creating an optimal environment for muscle growth.

Whey protein and casein are the two main proteins in milk. Whey proteins contain an optimal concentration of all of the amino acids that promote positive nitrogen retention (stored muscle protein). Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and are necessary for the growth, repair, and maintenance of body tissues. Muscle protein levels are depleted after exercise and workouts. Whey protein supplementation can rebuild amino acids and protein levels after exercise for maximum muscle growth and recovery.

Whey protein supplies BCAAs which make up about one-third of the protein in muscles. The body can't make BCAAs from other substances so they must be supplied from the diet or supplements. BCAAs are important to athletes and bodybuilders since they are metabolized directly into the muscle instead of the liver like other amino acids.

Pros

Each 11-ounce can of Pure Pro Shake contains 35 grams of high quality protein, only 3 to 5 grams of carbohydrates and zero fat. It is a conveniently portable high protein drink that quickly delivers amino acids and protein to muscles post-workout.

The nutrients in Pure Pro Shake have numerous benefits including:

• Conveniently portable post-workout drink
• Rebuilds muscle protein stores
• Promotes muscle repair and recovery
• Boosts muscle gain

Cons

Although few side effects have been reported with the short-term use of amino acids, mega-dosing may result in potential side effects. This may include excess nitrogen to excreted as urea in urine, which has been linked with reduced kidney function.

People with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), depression, Reye's Syndrome, kidney or liver disease should not supplement with amino acids without consulting a physician.

Be aware that some drugs may interact with the nutrients in Pure Pro Shake including:

• Chemotherapy
• Cisplatin
• Cyclophosphamide
• Docetaxel
• Fluorouracil
• Methotrexate
• Paclitaxel
