Promino Nutritional Sciences Inc. Announces Research Supporting Efficacy of Promino(TM): One Serving is Equivalent to 75 Grams of Whey Protein in Stimulating Muscle Protein Synthesis
Burlington, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 3, 2025) - Promino Nutritional Sciences Inc. (CSE: MUSL) (OTC Pink: MUSLF) (FSE: 93X) (the "Company" or "Promino") announces today that it has established that one serving of its patented Promino™ - NSF Certified for Sport® formula is equivalent to 75 grams of whey protein in stimulating muscle protein synthesis ("MPS"). Promino™ offers athletes and fitness enthusiasts a more efficient, bioavailable, and digestion-friendly alternative to traditional protein supplementation. Promino™ is available at www.drinkpromino.com.
Why Promino™ Stimulates Greater Muscle Protein Synthesis
While whey protein has long been a staple in muscle recovery, research indicates that its efficacy declines beyond a 40g serving1. Studies show that MPS plateaus at approximately 20g to 25g of whey protein per serving, with only marginal benefits seen up to 40g. Beyond this threshold, excess whey is not fully utilized for muscle growth and may be converted to waste or fat.
Furthermore, few clinical studies have explored the effects of whey protein at servings greater than 40g, making it difficult to quantify its impact beyond this range. However, based on existing data1, the efficiency of 40g of whey protein can be extrapolated to higher doses using mathematical models, allowing the Company to confidently determine that one serving of Promino™ delivers the same muscle-building benefits as 75g of whey protein.
Promino™ achieves this superior efficiency by leveraging a precision-engineered Essential Amino Acid ("EAA") formulation that delivers optimal ratios of leucine and other EAAs to maximize MPS with minimal waste. Unlike whey, which contains a mix of unnecessary non-essential amino acids, Promino™ provides only what the body needs to consume for muscle growth, ensuring every gram is effectively utilized.
Elite Athletes Trust Promino™
Promino™ is backed by some of the most elite athletes in professional sports, including:
Jose Bautista - former professional baseball player and current owner of the USL Las Vegas Lights
Jack Eichel - professional hockey player, currently with the Las Vegas Golden Knights
Kirk McLean - former professional hockey player, former goalie of the Vancouver Canucks
These athletes rely on Promino™ to enhance performance, accelerate recovery, and optimize muscle protein synthesis, demonstrating the formula's effectiveness at the highest levels of competition.
Revolutionizing Sports Nutrition
"This announcement represents a new alternative in sports nutrition," said Vito Sanzone, Chief Executive Officer. "For years, athletes have been consuming large amounts of whey protein without understanding its limitations. With Promino™, we offer a clinically validated, NSF Certified for Sport® solution that delivers superior muscle support with far less volume and zero digestive discomfort."
