whats the protein content going to be in these caps? i was trying to guestimate how much raw spp i could get into a cap and it didnt look good. a shit load of disolvable plastic.
it's not really about the amount of protein -- it's the availability of the protein. As you may know, protein is a MACRO nutrient so it requires a certain amount of size,
In other words, a good amino cap will have about a gram of protein, so if you take 10 caps, okay, ya got 10 grams of protein. Not bad but not great. But with a "normal" amino you only assimilate a very small portion. Maybe a few %. Obviously a gram of BCAA is more potent. GEAR will be a little more than a gram of protein but up to 90% of it will be instantly available.
It's like injectable aminos. Each "syringe full isn;t that many, but you get them all right in the bloodstresm.
That's a huge advantage and something we're very excited about. So all in all, a handful of caps may add up to another couple of protein shakes BUT... they should be IN-BETWEEN the time when other protein is ingested. That allows for a more consistant flow of aminos all day. This is brand new technology and something we feel is going to be a tremedous advantage for guys who are willing to commit to it.
And btw, the caps aren't plastic, they're gelatin. They're food.
