Yamamoto® Nutrition HiroBLEND New Formula is a dietary supplement based on protein from four different sources of the highest quality, characterised by different rates of absorption and release into the blood stream, and to ensure a more constant amino acid content over time:
- Isolac® whey protein isolate
- whey protein concentrate
- Optipep DH4® hydrolysed whey protein
- micellar caseins
Each protein source is characterised by its specific and different qualities and amino acid profile, from which we can best benefit by blending them all into a single product of the highest quality and digestibility.
This is what a blend is all about: different protein sources with digestion and absorption times that allow for a more constant and continuous release of amino acids over time (amino acidemia), with the common denominator being the absolute and certified quality of the sources used, without the addition of lower quality proteins, VB, or limits such as vegetable proteins (see soya).
The hydrolysed whey proteins will reach the blood stream more quickly, followed by the whey isolate and whey concentrates with very high digestibility and nutritional power thanks to their biological value and modern extraction processes that keep all their nutritional characteristics intact.
This is followed in terms of digestion and absorption in the following hours by proteins derived from micellar caseins.
HIRO BLEND New formula is an extremely versatile protein supplement in its choice of intake time, which extends its use, compared to the more common 'fast' proteins, to different times of the day, guaranteeing greater amino acid coverage in the following hours.
The differentiation of sources and their gradual release of available amino acids for more efficient muscle maintenance and rebuilding, through a constant continuous supply in the hours following its intake, makes it ideal both as a protein shake in the day but also as an excellent post-workout protein support.
Confirming this additional option, relegated lately only in favour of fast-absorbing protein sources such as whey isolate or hydrolysate, there are several interesting studies showing that combining differently-absorbed protein sources, such as faster-digesting whey protein combined with slow-digesting casein protein, is better for muscle growth than simply taking whey protein alone.
