Protein ≠ Protein
Not all proteins are the same.
Proteins are the basis for almost all vital functions in your body. However, their quality is not only determined by the quantity, but also by the composition of their building blocks: Amino acids.
What are amino acids?
Amino acids are small building blocks that make up every protein. Your body uses them to build muscles, organs, enzymes and hormones – they are the basis of life.
Essential vs. non-essential amino acids
There are two types of amino acids:
- Essential amino acids: Your body cannot produce these itself – they must be obtained from food.
- Non-essential amino acids: Your body can produce these itself from other substances.
How the body uses amino acids
Not every protein achieves its goal.
Dietary proteins must first be broken down into their building blocks, the amino acids. This results in losses and excess amino acids are converted into sugar or fat – a burden on the body.
Daminoc supplies proteins without detours.
The essential amino acids in Daminoc are immediately available. Your body saves energy, avoids losses and uses the building blocks directly for regeneration, energy and metabolic processes.
Why the ratio counts
The weakest link determines the benefit.
The quality of a protein depends on how balanced its amino acid profile is. If an essential amino acid is missing or present in insufficient quantities, the body cannot use the full potential of the protein. This limiting component is known as a “limiting amino acid“.
In the example shown, tryptophan is the limiting amino acid. Its small amount limits the utilization of all other amino acids in the protein.
Simply explained: How one amino acid can limit everything
Imagine a barrel in which each board represents an amino acid. If one board is shorter than the others, the water will overflow at exactly this point – the barrel cannot reach its full potential.
It works the same way in your body: if an amino acid is missing or not present enough, your body cannot fully utilize the remaining amino acids. The result? A loss of efficiency and effect.
What happens to unused amino acids?
Amino acids that the body cannot use are converted to sugar or fat. This conversion puts a strain on your organs, especially your liver and kidneys, and reduces the efficiency of your protein supply.
What makes Daminoc® unique?
Why is Daminoc so efficient?
The efficiency of proteins is measured by the so-called Net Nitrogen Utilization (NNU) value. This indicates how much of the ingested nitrogen is actually used to build up body protein. Daminoc achieves an exceptionally high NNU value of 99% – almost all of the nitrogen is used for anabolic processes such as muscle building and regeneration.
In comparison:
- Meat reaches about 32%, whey protein 18%, and vegetable proteins such as pea protein only 13%.
- The rest is catabolized – converted into sugar or fat – and puts a strain on the liver and kidneys.
1 gram of Daminoc is equivalent to up to 7 grams of conventional protein.
How can this be explained?
- Perfect ratio: Daminoc provides all the essential amino acids in the exact composition required by the human body. Conventional proteins often contain an imbalance of amino acids – some are present in excess while others are missing.
- Minimal nitrogen waste: While conventional proteins produce large amounts of excess nitrogen, Daminoc converts almost all the nitrogen into the body’s own proteins.
- Rapid absorption: The amino acids in Daminoc are available within minutes and can be used directly for protein synthesis – conventional proteins need hours for this.
More benefits, less stress.
The unique formulation of Daminoc makes it one of the most efficient protein sources available:
- Maximum support for muscle building, regeneration and health.
- Less strain on the liver and kidneys due to minimal breakdown to sugar or fat.
- Quick availability, perfect for use after physical exertion.
