CNP Pro-Peptide Review
CNP’s Pro-Peptide is an advanced protein supplement that should be used throughout the day and before bed, to boost protein content of meals.
Pro-Peptide contains a combination of fast and slow releasing proteins in the form of whey protein high fraction concentrate, hydrolysed whey, egg white and micellar casein, which helps maintain a positive nitrogen balance throughout the day and night, which is essential for muscle building.

Pro-Peptide Benefits
- Good taste, probably best in strawberry flavour
- Mixes fairly easy, but you need a blender. (Tip: hand held blenders are best, cost under £10 from supermarkets and are much more convenient than traditional blenders – just dip the blender in the top of your measuring jug for 10 seconds and your protein shake is ready to drink!)
- Used long term by the Director of Promart Supplements
- Easily digestible
- Contains pro-biotics (friendly bacteria) – which assists in protein metabolism and nitrogen retention
- High in peptide bonded glutamine
- Low in fat and lactose
Pro-Peptide – Drawbacks
- Pro-Peptide is farily expensive compared to normal whey protein powders, but the aim is to keep your body anabolic and Pro-Peptide combines fast and slow releasing proteins to achieve this more effectively than most other protein supplements, making it well worth the cost.
It should be noted that a whey protein shake should be used first thing on a morning and before and after training, due to the faster absorption, whereas Pro-Peptide is to be used throughout the day and before bed. If you can’t afford or don’t want a second protein supplement, then as an alternative, you could eat 8 scrambled egg whites every morning for your protein requirements – but that would cost more than whey protein, which is better and more convenient on a morning anyway.
Overall verdict: Pro-Peptide is a very high quality protein supplement and I would highly recommend it to anyone. The only downside is the cost, although bearing in mind the high quality ingredients, the cost is to be expected.
CNP Pro-Peptide Rating: 9/10 (would be 10/10, but for the cost)

Brian.
