 With PeptoPro®, DSM gives a new meaning to the concept of sports drinks. The use of proteins in ready-to-use sports drinks was limited up to now: there were solution problems, as well as stability and digestive problems if complete proteins were used. Protein hydrolysates dissolve better in water, are more bioavailable and easier to digest but their bitter, unpleasant taste limited their use. Now with PeptoPro® you can make clear, stable peptide drinks which are not bitter.

 Doctors have suggested that each person has a built in receptor that reacts to the neurotransmitter D4-Dopamine. This neurotransmitter stimulates the senses causing the reaction known as the Adrenaline Rush. They believe some people have a subdued receptor and therefore have to push themselves to greater extremes to stimulate their central nervous system. This is what sets Adventurers apart from the others - A Passion for the Extreme. This is the world of D4Productions.
