Animal Nitro FAQ #2: How does Nitro compare to whey?

[focused]

URep, i'm following your lead brother. I've seen many questions like this lately and concerning nitro.

"You really can't compare whey protein and Animal Nitro. You would use each for different reasons. Whey provides basic aminos needed by the body to function properly. In this way, whey is a general supplement. Animal Nitro, on the other hand, is a very targeted supplement. Animal Nitro is more efficient and it can help promote anabolism. It should be used pre- and post-training specifically (though it can also be used throughout the day). According to some unpublished results, researchers noted that essential amino acids were incorporated into protein, not catabolized. On the other hand, when 40g of whey protein was ingested, urea production increased significantly. Urea is the chief nitrogenous waste of mammals. In short, a lot of whey protein can ultimately turn into a waste product, urea, whereas essential aminos are used by the body. Efficiency is one difference. The other main difference is that essential aminos in 'uncoupled' forms can exert specific pharmacological and physiological benefits."

Nitro also doesn't contain any protein right?

Nitro also doesn't contain any protein right?

from what i know
when your body breaksdown protein it turns on aminoacids

nitro has aminoacids so in my opinion nitro is protein

See now "protein" is an iffy word. Nitro contains free form amino acids. EAAs to be exact.

See I'm learning. I didn't know that. I saw it says "Human Protein Complex" and I was looking at it's profile trying to find the protein... like a rookie :)

Thanks guys.

No matter what, I'm hooked. Nitro going into the Gym and Torrent coming back out. I wont do it any other way now unless I find something even better.

When your body digests food, including protein it breaks it down into simpler forms so it can absorb what it needs. Nitro is just straight amino acids, which would be the simplest form and wouldn't need to be broken down to be absorbed. Correct me if I'm wrong...

Exactly. Just like any carbs you take in will eventually be broken down to glucose, protein gets broken down to aminos. Protein is many amino acids bonded together...Nitro is the amino acids without the bonds..."free form." Nitro is not really protein. It's like getting the pieces of a car, instead of buying a new one and having to take it apart in order to get the pieces you need.
