he fi rst rule for building
muscle mass is that you must con-
sume plenty of protein to make
sure you’re providing your body
with all the amino acids it needs to sup-
port lean growth. Keep in mind that if
you don’t consume adequate protein,
your body will break down lean tissue to
fuel other physiological needs. So when
you’re training hard to build lean muscle
while reducing body fat, you need to take
in plenty of protein without consuming
excess calories that work against your
goal of shedding body fat.
What you may not know is that
not all protein sources are created
equal. Some digest slowly, while oth-
ers are absorbed more quickly. Gaspari
Nutrition’s Precision Protein was
designed to absorb nearly immediately
while also driving anabolism (muscle
building) to support accretion of lean
tissue.
Here’s more about the advantages
that Precision Protein provides:

Hydrolyzed whey protein is ab-
sorbed nearly immediately for
faster, better results.
Precision Protein relies on hydrolyzed
whey protein. This form of protein is a
much smaller molecule than other types
of protein found in food and other sup-
plements, sparing your body the eff ort
of having to break the bonds of larger
protein molecules before amino acids
can get to work. Because it’s a smaller
molecule, hydrolyzed whey is absorbed
almost immediately after consumption.
That’s crucial around the time of your
workouts when you want amino acids
in your bloodstream to protect the lean
muscle tissue you’ve already added.
After workouts, hydrolyzed whey helps
repair the damage caused by intense
workouts, sparing muscle tissue and pro-

moting faster, better recovery. Taking in
hydrolyzed whey at other times of day,
such as upon waking, is a good idea to
stop catabolism (muscle breakdown).

Embedded Enzyme Technology
(EET) helps boost muscle
building.
One of the unique features Precision
Protein provides is its EET, which deliv-
ers the amino acids that best support
muscle building. That’s important when
this is your primary goal; otherwise,
your body will convert protein into
amino acids it wants for other purposes.
Precision Protein’s EET enhances the
release of leucine peptides to enhance
lean tissue growth and recovery.
Leucine is the most important of the
branched-chain amino acids for sup-
porting accretion of lean tissue. These
aminos bypass the liver, going directly
to your working muscles to support
your training, recovery and physique
improvements. Precision Protein
achieves this by including a specialized
protein-embedded phospholipid matrix
that is activated when you add liquid to
your preworkout or postworkout shake.

Improved protein synthesis
and mTOR signaling support
your goals.
Precision Protein’s EET drives up pro-
tein synthesis, the process through
which your body recovers and grows.
This product enhances this physi-
ological process by driving the specifi c
amino acids your body needs to the site
that helps support your goals. In addi-
tion, Precision Protein increases mTOR
signaling. This specifi c physiological
pathway to growth improves intracel-
lular and extracellular signals to boost
cell growth and proliferation, as well as
enhance metabolism.
