Two new human clinical trials reveal that PEAK ATP®, a patented form of adenosine 5’-triphosphate (ATP), significantly enhances amino acid absorption from dietary protein, helping consumers get more out of every scoop.
Amino acids are vital for muscle health, but they only work if your body can properly digest, absorb, and deliver them to your muscles. That’s why bioavailability is key.
Clinical Studies Highlight ATP’s Impact on Protein Absorption
Presented at the Nutrition 2025 annual meeting of the American Society for Nutrition, the studies found that supplementing with PEAK ATP® increased plasma amino acid concentrations after protein consumption pointing to improved protein bioavailability and muscle support. This research positions PEAK ATP® as a critical advancement in categories like sports nutrition, muscle recovery, healthy aging, and even clinical nutrition.
Proven Results: Key Highlights to the Studies
The clinical trials showed that participants who supplemented with PEAK ATP® experienced:
- Significantly higher plasma amino acid levels compared to placebo
- Improved Area Under the Curve (AUC) for total amino acids and key individual aminos
- A notable boost in branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) uptake
- Enhanced protein bioavailability across both plant- and whey-based protein sources
These results demonstrate that PEAK ATP® supports amino acid absorption from protein, helping the body unlock more of protein’s muscle-supporting benefits.
Key Applications
Shawn Baier highlights how PEAK ATP®’s ability to improve amino acid absorption from protein can translate across multiple health and wellness categories:
- Athletic Performance: Increases amino acid availability after exercise, supporting faster recovery and improved strength adaptations.
- Healthy Aging: Enhances protein utilization in older adults, helping to maintain muscle mass and support metabolic health.
- Recovery Support: Improves nutrient absorption during periods of physical stress or clinical recovery, aiding tissue repair and overall recovery outcomes.
- Malnutrition Support: Maximizes the effectiveness of dietary protein in populations with limited nutrient intake or compromised absorption, offering a new tool for nutritional care.
A Smarter Way to Supplement with Protein
Already known for increasing muscular power, endurance, and blood flow, PEAK ATP® now delivers even more value by improving amino acid absorption from protein. It’s an ideal addition to:
- Protein powders and ready-to-drink shakes
- Intra- and post-workout formulas
- Muscle maintenance and healthy aging supplements
- Clinical nutrition products
“This science advances the opportunities to develop next-generation formulas that go beyond just delivering protein; they will ensure the body can actually use it.” said Shawn Baier, VP of Business Development at TSI Group.
This makes PEAK ATP® a valuable ingredient for any protein-based supplement aimed at improving performance, recovery, or long-term muscle health.
