Yamamoto Nutrition presents a new raw material "Hydro RAZAN Optipep®", from which the highest biological value proteins are obtained.
Hydro RAZAN Optipep® consists only of Optipep® 90 DH4, a certified "Grass-Fed™" raw material, one of the most advanced, complete, and highest quality protein sources currently on the market.
Hydrolysis is a process during which proteins are broken down into simpler molecular structures - peptides, composed of small chains of amino acids, which are very quickly digested and biologically available.
The product also contains digestive enzymes lactase and bromelain, and it is supplemented with probiotic microorganisms that promote the balance of intestinal flora.
What is hydrolyzed whey protein isolate?
Hydrolyzed whey protein isolate is obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis - a process during which important components are preserved that would be inactivated by other methods (using acids or heat), and the taste is improved compared to other processes. This produces protein powders composed of free amino acids and di-tripeptides (chains made up of only 2 or 3 amino acids), which can penetrate the intestinal mucosa faster than free amino acids themselves. Essentially, it is a mixture of pre-digested proteins, i.e., molecules whose digestion has already been performed by stomach enzymes. This results in easily digestible proteins that enter the bloodstream faster than any other type of whey.
What does the "Grass-Fed™" certification mean?
This certification, obtained after strict analysis and inspections conducted by relevant third parties, is issued only when it is determined that the hydrolyzed proteins come exclusively from cattle fed only grass grown in well-maintained, uncontaminated soil and raised in an environmentally friendly manner.
Carbery® is a company aiming to supply food and dairy ingredients made from grass-fed, hormone-free, and sustainably raised animals worldwide.
What does the "Optipep® 90 DH4" certification and raw material mean?
Optipep® 90 DH4 is a trademark belonging to the Irish company "Carbery®". Carbery® is one of the world's most renowned producers of natural ingredients, flavors, and cheeses.
Optipep® is a fast-acting whey protein characterized by a unique amino acid and peptide profile, ensuring an excellent balance of taste and performance effect.
Sports supplements are specially designed to help athletes achieve specific nutritional or sports goals. Recovery is the key to managing the stress of intense training loads and adapting to performance in elite athletes. This adaptation is the path to better results, and proven quality whey proteins promote it.
Optipep® is a hydrolyzed whey protein containing an optimal amount of dipeptides, tripeptides, and free amino acids. This maximizes the absorption capacity and effective delivery of protein nutrients essential for muscle growth, repair, replenishment, and recovery.
Optipep® is unlike any other hydrolysate: it was developed by scientists in collaboration with North Carolina State University (NCSU).
The unique taste and nutritional profile of "Optipep®" allow it to be consumed daily before training, during training, or even as part of a recovery program.
What are the advantages of this product?
- Pre-digested proteins with a unique peptide composition;
- Excellent biological value. Rich source of essential amino acids (EAA) and naturally high in branched-chain amino acids (BCAA): leucine, isoleucine, valine.
- Low lactose content;
- Low fat content;
- Manufactured according to the highest quality standards.
Why choose HydroRAZAN Optipep®?
- Optipep® 90 DH4 certification: HydroRAZAN is a protein made only from Optipep® 90 DH4 certified raw material.
- Certified "Grass-Fed™": HydroRAZAN Optipep® is a protein made only from certified Grass-Fed™ raw material.
- Higher supply of low molecular weight peptides: HydroRAZAN consists of 18% peptides with a molecular weight less than 1000 daltons. +3% compared to "Optipep® 90 PRO". This means more tripeptides and peptides made up of chains from 3 to 8 amino acids. The result is protein powders that can pass through the intestinal mucosa faster than free amino acids themselves.
- 100% Italian production: HydroRAZAN, like all Yamamoto® brand products, is assembled and packaged in Italy. Therefore, it is a 100% Italian product.
- Less flavor: real hydrolyzed proteins have a characteristic bitter taste. Why? For a simple reason - due to the degree of hydrolysis (for example, DH4 or the latest products with a degree of hydrolysis of 32, such as "Yamamoto® Nutrition Evopep32"), powders are formed consisting of peptides that are naturally bitter to the palate. The opposite would be unpleasant! However, if the hydrolyzed protein is inherently bitter and easily digestible, why are there hydrolysates on the market that are sweet and have such a strong taste that they resemble a great cake? For a simple reason, because they are "stuffed" with flavorings and other unnecessary elements. In a market like the dietary supplement market, which is now aimed not only at athletes but also at a much wider range of customers, adding such elements as palm oil, maltodextrin, xanthan gum, carrageenan, or milk proteins will make the protein mixture tastier but will completely lose its function as a specific nutritional or sports supplement. Everyone buying a protein supplement should expect and expect a pure, not heavily flavored product. Such elements will only change the quality of the product. Have you ever felt, at a certain time of day, often after a protein shake, a feeling of "bloating"? This usually happens because a lot of flavor enhancers and sweeteners are consumed, which the body does not tolerate. Therefore, it is advisable to rely on products that are not overly flavored. By partially removing the "culprit" ingredient, you will notice a quick relief from annoying symptoms.
Yamamoto Nutrition Hydro RAZAN Optipep® is a hydrolyzed whey protein isolate from "Grass-Fed" raw materials, characterized by rapid absorption and high biological value. This protein is designed for muscle growth, recovery, and digestive system balance, enriched with enzymes and probiotics for better absorption.
