Volumass 35 provides many nutrients for your muscles. Volumass 35 has been developed for those athletes that require more nutrients due of their larger muscle mass or higher level of activity. Volumass 35 contains per suggested serving more Creatine (2.5 g), more quality protein, and has a higher caloric value than our previous lower level products. In the process of accumulating muscle mass both protein and carbohydrates have importance to provide energy and building blocks for tissue growth. The 35% protein ratio of Volumass 35 approximates the macronutrient ratio of most sports nutrition regimens, and is probably optimal for the body types and metabolism of most athletes. Volumass 35 therefore can easily be an integrated part of the whole day"s nutrient intake. The protein is derived from high-quality ultrafiltered whey protein concentrate and cross-flow microfiltered isolate both rich in protein microfractions. Dietary proteins are the source of nitrogen and indispensable amino acids, which the body requires for tissue growth and maintenance. Therefore, Volumass 35 contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass. Whey protein from milk is a so-called complete protein, because it provides the body with all necessary amino acids, including the 9 amino acids (i.e. Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine,Threonine, Tryptophan, Valine) that are considered essential for life, because the body cannot synthesize them. Determination of the nutritional efficiency of protein in the diet is in most cases based on estimating the extent to which dietary protein nitrogen is absorbed and retained by the body and is able to balance daily nitrogen losses. Net Protein Utilisation (NPU) is the percentage of ingested nitrogen that is retained in the body, and the Biological Value (BV) gives the percentage of absorbed nitrogen that is retained. Biological Value is the product of NPU and digestibility.
