This is a fairly straightforward answer now, thanks to decades of research and likely millions of dollars in research money. Before I dive into it, though, I’m going to provide a little additional background over amino acids and proteins as a whole. Amino acids are for the most part the bricks that when added together [...]

There is no way to know for sure if “time-released” proteins are better than “regular” proteins because “time-released” proteins don’t exist. “Time-released” proteins fads that were popular in the late 90’s that have recently been making a comeback in popularity on chat forums.

Thank you very much! I’m glad you like it!
The flavoring on Phormula-1 is much lighter than other isolates on the market; we designed it that way on purpose. Phormula-1 is very pure and doesn’t require an overpowering flavor to cover up impurities of lesser quality, denatured proteins. It’s designed to taste more like a Crystal [...]

The answer to both of these questions is yes. Level-1 is indeed a sustained assimilation protein designed to keep blood amino levels high for a period of 2-3 hours.
