  PeptoSport® is a sports drink with carbohydrate and PeptoPro® (protein hydrolysate) for use during and after exercise.  Recent scientific studies in sports nutrition show that adding a protein hydrolysate to carbohydrate based sports products increases protein synthesis and improves muscle recovery after exercise, enhances continuous hard training, and improves performance.
  PeptoSport® was formulated and used in scientific studies on post-exercise recovery by Prof Andrew Bosch, University of Cape Town / MRC Research Unit for Exercise Science and Sports Medicine, in 2009.  These studies demonstrated a reduction in delayed onset muscle soreness during periods of high training load. PeptoSport® is especially formulated to provide PeptoPro and carbohydrates calculated per kg body weight, as used in scientific studies. www.atlife.co.za / www.peptopro.com
