Iso-FUJI MICRO® Volactive® MCU-20® is the first supplement on the market based on whey protein isolate that boasts the use of the patented MCU-20® microencapsulation technology.
The unique technology of Iso-FUJI MICRO® Volactive® MCU-20® sees for the first time the characteristics of premium quality isolated whey Protein such as Volac Ultra Whey XP® to be extended and amplified both in terms of solubility and bioavailability without rivals that of more gradual release over time.
An already excellent protein raw material that becomes something innovative and unique today.
Thanks to the nanotechnologies of the MCU-20® microencapsular transport system, today even protein macromolecules can increase their already high solubility and stability by being literally "protected", further improving their absorption, but above all, prolonging the release of the amino acid material into the blood stream. for more time available for muscle reconstruction and growth.
If the "limit" of an isolated whey protein with such a high biological value could be the "timing" of bioavailability with fast digestion times (30 minutes - 1 hour), which limit its use in only certain moments, with MCU-20® microencapsulation process, the polypeptide chains are absorbed and released much more gradually in the hours following its ingestion, as if it were a "slower release" protein, but with all the "pluses" of Volactive ULTRA WHEY XP® , which we can use in a more versatile way during the day, thus keeping the amino acidemia more constant.
Over time, Yamamoto Nutrition has become a true reference point and international showcase for the launch of raw materials and new technologies, so to present this "special protein supplement", the raw material could only be Volactive Ultra Whey XP®, whey protein isolate by cross-flow ultrafiltration and microfiltration.
Volac® is a reference reality in the dairy production and zootechnical sector, as well as the largest producer of nutritional whey Protein for "Lifestyle" applications in Europe, which has earned the reputation of absolute innovator in technology production and development in the nutritional field, using fresh milk from cows not treated with hormones or antibiotics and without GMO.
The Volactive® product range comes from the use of the most recent complex membrane and spray drying technologies that effectively stabilize the protein matter, minimizing the denaturation of the Protein themselves, thus providing nutritional profiles that are highly superior to those obtained by technologies. less advanced.
Volactive Ultra Whey XP® Whey Protein Isolate is processed by cross-flow ultrafiltration and microfiltration to remove the largest amounts of fat and lactose, presenting an average protein content of 90% (from 86-88% low to higher), microfiltration is the most advanced process among those used for protein supplements based on whey protein, but it is also the one that is best able to preserve the presence of important bioactive elements that determine the quality of the protein itself, and which often could be missing in a whey protein isolate which is 99% undenatured.
Iso-FUJI Micro® Volactive® MCU-20® is sweetened exclusively with Stevia.

What is microencapsulation?
The microencapsulation already present in the world of food and pharmaceuticals, today has allowed an important breakthrough to limits that conditioned the bioavailability of many molecules in the world of food supplementation. The microencapsulation process from which MCU-20® is born is the result of an innovative technology that allows the maximization of the transport and the relative absorption of the nutritional elements that we want to arrive unharmed and at the best of their bioavailability to maximize the effect . Many raw materials commonly used in the world of supplements have limits of various kinds, starting from a possible degradation in the gastrointestinal tract due to "environmental" conditions or to the poor solubility of the material, which can form precipitates that cannot be completely absorbed ( in the face of a considerable waste and economic cost).
What does MCU-20® technology consist of?
Thanks to the patented MCU-20® microencapsulation technique, the raw material is first dried quickly without affecting the physico-chemical properties of the element, and then it is fragmented into extremely small microgranules and then "trapped" in thin films of a microencapsulating agent, which will allow not only to protect and isolate the raw material, but also to be able to limit any unpleasant odors. Thanks to MCU-20® it has been allowed to amino acids, which are characterized by low solubility and stability in water, to enter a new era, whose luster of effectiveness is enhanced in being able to be made quickly and completely soluble, without the formation of precipitates, for a much higher absorption .
This technology has also been able to allow other raw materials typical of sports supplementation to be able to overcome the limits of oral absorption that they may present, from creatine, to l-carnitine or arginine. Thanks to the MCU-20® technology, these elements, defined as "poorly absorbed", can demonstrate their effectiveness by bypassing environmental chemical or enzymatic limits, providing a protective and transport carrier to the small microparticles. which will reach a unique bioavailability .
Are you sure you are absorbing what you take?
Often active ingredients such as amino acids and derivatives are partially absorbed. Just think of Glutamine, which is absorbed for 60 - 80% by the intestine; the remainder is too little to meet the needs of our muscles. With MCU-20® microencapsulation technology, Glutamine passes the gastrointestinal tract unscathed to be absorbed 100%. The same is true for Arginine where about 40% of the dose introduced orally is lost and degraded by gastric juices. Or the case of creatine where intestinal enterocytes are unable to absorb bulky micro-crystals of creatine. And taking creatine together with high glycemic index carbohydrates could be ideal for optimizing their absorption but counterproductive for those on a diet.MCU-20® microencapsulation technology effectively guarantees 100% absorption of the active ingredients involved!
MCU-20®:
- Preserves the functional ingredients that are thermolabile or susceptible to oxidation during the transformation and / or conservation processes
- Preserves functional ingredients from adverse gastric conditions to allow them to arrive at the site of interest
- Guaranteed absorption of functional ingredients, even those elements defined as "poorly absorbed" such as amino acids, carnitine and creatine
- Mask unwanted flavors
- Prevents unwanted reactions between the ingredient of interest and the surrounding matrix
