What is Aminolase?
Aminolase is a specialized protein digesting enzyme, designed to improve amino acid conversion when used in conjunction with protein-rich meals and/or supplements. If taken correctly, Aminolase works with your body to:
• Digest protein into its usable form, thereby making it more bioavailable than protein alone. • Maximize the availability of amino acids. • Greatly reduce stomach discomfort associated with consuming high amounts of protein. • Effectively digest dietary proteins including supplements such as whey, casein, egg, soy, hemp, and pea proteins.
Where is Aminolase derived from?
Aminolase is a specialized protease (protein digesting enzyme) derived from friendly bacteria, also known as probiotics. In order to produce Aminolase, these probiotics are isolated and then grown using a complex fermentation process. The fermentation medium or food for the bacteria contains high amounts of vegetarian-derived protein. Protein is necessary when creating an enzyme that is able to break down and digest protein. The bacteria itself will create enzymes in order to digest this protein medium. Once created, the highly specialized enzyme is extracted and encapsulated as Aminolase.
How does Aminolase work?
Aminolase helps break down protein efficiently and completely so that the body can maximize the absorption of amino acids into the blood stream. This will reduce exposure time to large protein peptides that can cause discomfort. Consumption of protein with Aminolase significantly raises the level of amino acids in the blood, compared to eating protein alone. Among those amino acids are the branch chain amino acids (BCAAs), which have been shown to play a vital role in muscle synthesis and recovery from workouts.
What is the recommended dosage?
Dosage: 250mg (one capsule) of Aminolase per every 25 grams of protein consumed. It is important to note that most containers of protein supplements are not 100 percent pure protein, so the calculation must be adjusted to account for the amount of pure protein in each serving.
Are there any available clinical studies or reference studies that I can review?
Two separate human clinical studies have been performed on Aminolase and numerous reference studies on the product components are available. Contact us at 800-448-5015 or AMINOLASE@ARTHURANDREW.COM for more details on the studies.
Is Aminolase Kosher?
The formula is Kosher, and a copy of the certification is available by request.
Is Aminolase vegetarian or vegan?
The formula is vegetarian and vegan in accordance with the guidelines of the American Vegetarian Association.
Is Aminolase non-GMO (Genetically Modified Organism)?
Yes, Aminolase is non-GMO. All of the ingredients used to make this enzyme product are not genetically modified organisms as defined by the NATIONAL ORGANIC STANDARDS BOARD.
Genetically engineered is defined as follows: Made with techniques that alter the molecular or cellular biology of an organism by means that are not possible under natural conditions or processes. Genetic engineering includes recombinant DNA, cell fusion, micro-and macro-encapsulation, gene deletion and doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the position of genes. It shall not include breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in-vitro fertilization, and tissue culture.
Further testing is also conducted to determine whether any common GMO material is present in the product. A copy of the lab analysis can be DOWNLOADED HERE.
