With \u003cstrong\u003e30g of hydrolyzed beef protein per 30g serving\u003c\/strong\u003e (single ingredient serving), ELTORO combines high biological value, ultra-fast digestion (hydrolysis pre-digests protein into low molecular weight peptides with immediate absorption), and total absence of lactose and dairy products. It includes \u003cstrong\u003eLibrifoam®\u003c\/strong\u003e as a patented anti-foaming agent to ensure clean mixing without excessive foam. 1.8 kg per pack (60 servings). Flavours: Ice Tea Peach, Orange Mango, and Watermelon.

For athletes who use whey protein (Bulk) and want a complementary non-dairy source for some meals, ELTORO is the natural alternative in the Marvelous portfolio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHydrolysis: enzymatic pre-digestion that maximizes absorption and minimizes gastrointestinal discomfort:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe process of \u003cstrong\u003ehydrolysis\u003c\/strong\u003e (used in \"hydrolysed beef protein\") consists of the enzymatic breakdown of intact protein peptide bonds into \u003cstrong\u003elow molecular weight peptides\u003c\/strong\u003e (di-, tri- and oligopeptides) and free amino acids. Hydrolyzed protein has multiple advantages over intact protein: intestinal absorption is faster and more efficient (PEPT1 and PEPT2 peptide transporters in the small intestine absorb di- and tripeptides more efficiently than individual amino acid transporters, and hydrolysis eliminates the need for additional proteolytic digestion by pancreatic proteases); the risk of gastrointestinal discomfort is lower (hydrolyzed proteins produce less colonic fermentation and less abdominal distension than intact proteins); and the onset of plasma aminoacidemia is faster (with an earlier peak of amino acids in the blood after ingestion), which is especially relevant in the post-workout window. The absorption kinetics of hydrolyzed beef protein are comparable to those of hydrolyzed whey (Hydro Whey), making it suitable for post-workout use where the speed of aminoacidemia is a factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmino acid profile: high glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline content vs. whey:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe amino acid profile of beef protein has relevant differences compared to whey that are often undervalued. Bovine protein has a higher proportion of \u003cstrong\u003eglycine\u003c\/strong\u003e (essential for collagen, creatine, and hepatic porphyrin synthesis), \u003cstrong\u003eproline\u003c\/strong\u003e (structural component of collagen), and \u003cstrong\u003ealanine\u003c\/strong\u003e than whey, but lower levels of \u003cstrong\u003eleucine\u003c\/strong\u003e (~8% vs. ~11% in whey) and total BCAAs. This difference makes bovine protein especially suitable for supporting collagen and connective tissue synthesis (tendons, ligaments, cartilage), making ELTORO an interesting complement to Marvelous \u003cstrong\u003eCollagen\u003c\/strong\u003e for athletes with joint recovery needs. For maximum muscle protein synthesis (MPS via mTORC1), the leucine in whey (Bulk) is superior, but to cover the full spectrum of dietary amino acids with additional support for connective tissue, the ELTORO + Bulk combination is more complete than either of the two isolated proteins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLibrifoam®: the patented anti-foaming technology for clean shakes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLibrifoam®\u003c\/strong\u003e (sodium tripolyphosphate + water + dimethylpolysiloxane) is an FDA and EFSA approved anti-foaming agent, specifically developed for protein supplement applications. Hydrolyzed bovine protein has a greater tendency to form excessive foam during mixing (due to the specific profile of hydrolyzed proteins and peptides) than whey, which can result in shakes with a large volume of foam and lower volumetric density. Librifoam® reduces the surface tension of peptides in solution, suppressing bubble formation and resulting in a cleaner shake, with a denser consistency and a more pleasant consumption experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZero lactose, zero dairy: the protein for all athletes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eELTORO is \u003cstrong\u003ecompletely free of lactose and any milk protein\u003c\/strong\u003e (casein, whey, lactoferrin), making it suitable for athletes with lactose intolerance, milk protein allergy (CMPA), or who prefer to exclude dairy products from their diet for personal or cultural reasons. It is also suitable for halal and kosher diets (check certifications on the packaging). For people with lactose intolerance who cannot tolerate Bulk (WPI) despite the isolate's low lactose content, ELTORO is the direct alternative without any compromise on quality or protein intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRefreshing flavours: the protein you drink like a sports drink:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe flavours chosen for ELTORO (Ice Tea Peach, Orange Mango, and Watermelon) are refreshing and fruity, typically associated with sports\/isotonic drinks instead of the chocolate\/vanilla\/strawberry flavours of conventional proteins. This choice of flavours is deliberate: hydrolyzed bovine protein has a different organoleptic profile (taste, aroma) from whey, with more neutral and slightly salty notes that combine better with fruit flavours and refreshing drinks than with creamy dessert flavours. This combination makes ELTORO a protein that can be consumed during training (as an intra-workout protein during long sessions) without the \"heavy shake\" feeling associated with chocolate\/vanilla proteins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eUsage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended dose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mix 1 scoop (30g) with 200 to 300 ml of cold water, shake vigorously. Consume immediately after training or at any other time of day. For maximum post-workout recovery results, consume within the first 30 minutes after training. Hydrolyzed protein can also be used during long training sessions (\u003e90 minutes) as an intra-workout amino acid source to minimize muscle catabolism. 1.8 kg = 60 servings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marvelous Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Pina Colada","offer_id":52947021988187,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Manga e Laranja","offer_id":52856540954971,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pêssego","offer_id":52856540987739,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Melancia","offer_id":52856541020507,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/0250\/3771\/files\/1_97045917-3323-4f70-9cbe-84abdec771aa.png?v=1780698897","url":"https:\/\/brothers-club.com\/en\/products\/marvelous-nutrition-eltoro","provider":"Brother's Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
