24-hour fitness gym "AC FITNESS Minami-Urawa", operated by our group company Disk City Entertainment Inc. (Headquarters: Yokohama, Kanagawa; President: Hiroaki Mita), will begin selling a highly anticipated original protein (Strawberry and Chocolate flavors) formulated with the latest functional food ingredient, "8PN (8-prenylnaringenin)".
🔶A new concept protein that "protects and enhances" your condition
Conventional proteins generally promote "muscle synthesis" in conjunction with vigorous exercise. However, AC FITNESS Minami-Urawa also focused on issues such as muscle weakness during busy periods when people cannot visit the gym, and age-related muscle atrophy (sarcopenia).
This time, we have formulated 0.1mg per serving of the highly-anticipated ingredient "8PN (8-prenylnaringenin)", which is contained in the hop-derived functional ingredient "Astrohop®" developed by Daicel Corporation. We have launched this original blended protein based on the idea that not only maximizing the effects of training, but also maintaining a high muscle condition during "non-exercise times" such as work, injury, or rest days, is the shortest path to an ideal body shape.

🔶3 Features of the Product
1. Formulated with "8PN" to support training efficiency and maintenance on rest days
The ingredient "8PN" is said to have the effect of suppressing the expression of the muscle protein degradation marker (Atrogin-1). In addition to an "offensive" approach that enhances amino acid uptake into skeletal muscle and is expected to improve the muscle synthesis rate from training by up to 30%, it also features a "defensive" function that suppresses muscle breakdown and prevents atrophy even without exercise. This supports muscle condition maintenance across all phases, not only for those engaged in hard training, but also for those experiencing rest days due to a busy schedule, recovery periods from injuries, and even those concerned about age-related muscle decline.
