Arla Food Ingredients has released a whey protein hydrolysate for sports nutrition applications that significantly reduces exercise recovery times.
According to Arla, Lacprodan HYDRO.365 was developed specifically for endurance sport enthusiasts and offers a particularly high degree of hydrolysis which effectively reduces recovery times from days to hours.
Arla says that the Lacprodan HYDRO.365 whey protein is more easily absorbed than intact whey proteins as it has already been ‘pre-digested’ into amino acids and smaller short-chain peptides, providing a much faster recovery after exercise in comparison with standard whey proteins.
The product can be used in a wide array of popular sports supplement product applications including clear beverages, gels, bars, powders and tablets.
Arla will be showcasing Lacprodan HYDRO.365 at the Health Ingredients Europe exhibition in Amsterdam this December.
“Our high quality whey protein solutions are at the cutting edge of innovation and address a wide range of nutrition needs and health concerns,” said Lindsey Osmond, Arla’s business development manager of health and performance nutrition.
“HIE will offer the perfect forum for us to share these advancements with the industry.”
