Actazin® Reduces bloating associated with high protein intake

Actazin® contains actinidin, a proteolytic enzyme that promotes the digestion of both animal and plant proteins. This can be particularly beneficial for athletes who consume large amounts of protein to support muscle growth and recovery.

Actinidin appears to prefer whey proteins over caseins as its substrates, making it especially useful for athletes who consume whey protein supplements. This can lead to more efficient absorption of amino acids from whey protein.

By enhancing protein digestion, Actazin® may help reduce bloating, flatulence, and abdominal pain often associated with high protein intake. This can be particularly beneficial for athletes who need to consume large amounts of protein but may experience digestive discomfort.

Actinidin has been shown to promote the digestion of plant proteins like pea protein, which is becoming increasingly popular among vegan athletes. This can help improve the utilization of plant-based protein sources.

Studies in animals have shown that actinidin can increase the rate of stomach emptying for various protein sources, including beef muscle protein, gelatin, soy protein, and gluten. This could potentially lead to faster nutrient absorption and reduced feelings of fullness, which may be beneficial for athletes during training or competition.

Actazin supports bowel regularity and provides occasional constipation relief. This can be helpful for athletes who may experience changes in bowel habits due to high protein intake or travel-related stress.

As a whole green kiwifruit powder, Actazin® provides other nutritional benefits beyond protein digestion support, such as dietary fiber and vitamin C. These nutrients can contribute to overall health and potentially support athletic performance and recovery.
