ALRI HumaPro

How to Use HumaPro®…And Why

At ALR Industries we take a great deal of pride in not only being innovative but also in being leaders in dramatically supporting the positive direction your performance and health takes. Being athletes and performance oriented individuals ourselves, we design and formulate to enhance all we do in life, THEN we offer our best to you. Sounds like hype to some I suppose, but I am the CEO, Author L. Rea test subject #1 and my name is on every bottle, box or package as my promise to only offer what I personally believe to be the best possible or suffer the humiliation if not. So we get it right before offering our products and even work to improve those we have already. Why settle for good if greatness is the only option? We certainly are not afraid of controversy and even tend to invite it as a means of getting others out of the 80’s.
With the release of HumaPro® by ALR Industries, the first maximal protein synthesis matrix specifically created for humans only, we opened the door for possibly the biggest controversial debate yet. Not only have we done so in the sports performance area but in the world of optimized healthier human nutrition as a whole. That we obviously upset so many in doing so validates that we have pissed off many who have a great deal to lose if word gets out before they can counter market against HumaPro®. I realize no one wants to accept the reality they offer an inferior, if not seriously unhealthy product. But come on, it’s not my fault they opted to forget that they have people trusting them to bring the best as we progress in science. Why bother if you are not seeking to always bring the very best from yourself or the best in what you do? Damn the mediocrity!
HumaPro® is the best anabolic support protein synthesis matrix available today…and it only took us 12 years of research and testing to do so. So let’s start with understanding protein as a whole then move into how to use HumaPro® for your specific needs then we can discuss why use HumaPro® other than the fact HumaPro® is lead, and arsenic free. The US government can set “acceptable” (arsenic and lead are acceptable?) standards for how much arsenic and lead is okay for daily intake for you and your children from whey protein even though both are accumulative, and we will set ours at none is acceptable. Work for you?

Not All Proteins Are Created Equal

As I am sure you have noticed, trying to do the math necessary to be certain that your NNU intake is optimal “appears” complex…but it’s rather simple actually. Try this formula for your base: BW Divided by 2.2 multiplied by 0.4 = Optimal NNU.
So if you weigh 220 pounds and you divide by 2.2 you get your body weight in kilograms, which is 100 kg BW. Now multiply 100 x 0.4 = 40 grams NNU. So you need 40g of NNU. Naturally you could simply ingest 40g of HumaPro® 10g at a time 25 minutes before each of 4 meals and you would note results rather quickly but there are times a strong positive nitrogen balance is more beneficial than others. IF (note I said “if”) your goal were to keep it this simple you would:

• 1.) Ingest 10 tablets HumaPro® upon awakening in the AM, do your morning thing and eat breakfast. No other protein is needed. Yes, HumaPro® is a “specific for humans ratio” of predigested Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) providing the complete corrected amino acid profile for near zero waste and highest anabolic ratio possible.
• 2.) 2 hours later ingest 5 tablets HumaPro® and eat your second meal 25 minutes later. If your first HumaPro® and meal was at 7:00/7:30am you would swallow the next 5 tablets at 9:30am and eat at 10:00am
• 3.) Let’s say you train at lunch. You would ingest 5 tablets HumaPro® at 12 noon and slam a quick meal (no additional protein necessary) then train{1}. Personally I drink Chain’d Out® with all of my meals because I don’t ingest any other proteins except HumaPro®. Chain’d Out® is a very anabolic and unique BCAA complex made of alpha-hydroxy protected BCAAs and a few very effective compounds to support anabolism, recovery and inhibit catabolism…and it can be ingested with HumaPro® due to no cross up-take inhibition.
• 4.) Post-Training ingest 5 tablets with either 75g of Chain’d Reaction™ or waxy maze.
• 5.) Assuming your last meal was around 1pm ingest 5 tabs HumaPro® at 3pm and eat your mid-afternoon meal 25 minutes later.
• 6.) Obviously your evening meal would require ingesting 5 HumaPro® around 5:30pm and another meal 25 minutes later.
• 7.)Bed time is very important in regard to recovery and anabolism while avoiding or at least dramatically limiting catabolism. 25 minutes before hitting the pillow ingest 5-10 tablets HumaPro® followed 25 minutes later with a caloric snack. My preference is 15g of Dag oil, 3g Evening Primrose Oil and 3g Omega 3-6-9 with a half cup brown rice and some Chain’d Out®. Hit the teeth and hit the bed.

Do You NEED To Always Wait 25 Minutes Before Eating Solid Foods?

Of course not! Is your goal is to always create an acute and rapid optimal anabolic growth/anti-catabolic environment? Then you would make sure nothing slows down the passage of HumaPro® through the GI and into the circulatory system creating a delay, would you? The diet out-line above is an example of this full time methodology. Works especially well when dieting due to the decrease in hunger most experience when taking HumaPro® alone before solid foods.
However this can be rather difficult to time for some and you can get just as amazing results anyway by making all of your meals more efficient. Yup, you can dramatically increase the NNU:NC ratio just a favorably while repartitioning nutrients away from fat to lean mass. You can simply ingest the desired amount of HumaPro® with regular meals…though I strongly suggest sticking to the first 10 tablets or drink of HumaPro® going down without whole food upon waking. The reason is simple: You want best results so you immediately start your body off in the AM in a positive nitrogen/anabolic environment then keep it going long past bed time that night.
So How Does This Work?
Let’s say you want to eat 4oz of steak and drink a glass of HumaPro® with your yams. Let’s make it a double shot of Apple Cider flavor HumaPro®. How would you calculate your NNU and NC?
9.00g NNC from HumaPro® 100mg NC (waste)
8.96g NNU From 4oz steak 19.04g NC (waste)
Totals 17.96g NNU 19.14g NC
You just increased your daily NNU 17.96g instead of only 8.96g and dramatically improved your anabolic to catabolic ratio.
{1} I know most say protein intake is more important immediately AFTER training, not before. They are simply wrong.  Though several studies have validated this, the following site validated a 209% increase in amino acid up-take when EAAs were ingested pre-training. Post ingestion only showed an 81% increase in amino acid up-take/NNU. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab. 2001 Aug;281(2):E197-206.Timing of amino acid-carbohydrate ingestion alters anabolic response of muscle to resistance exercise. An additional point of interest is that the rate of anabolism lasted 2 hours post training from the Pre-Training supplementation, and is naturally augmented if Post-Training HumaPro® ingestion is utilized as well.
Though this is likely one of the healthiest and fastest ways to diet off some body fat, most want to eat some real food protein. So how would you calculate your NNU if you wish to use some whole food proteins and HumaPro®? Of course the goal is to add a diet and NNU calculator to the HumaPro.com web site but it is actually easy. Using the pie chart above you can do it in a few minutes.

AOP = Amount of Protein
NC= Negative Catabolites (waste)
NNU= Net Nitrogen Utilized
