Aminogen is another option to exercise that would be a very good addition to the customized protein. Here's a good description from proteinfactory.com:

Aminogen FAQ's

Aminogen is a patented enzyme system that liberates free form amino acids from any protein-containing food. Now some might ask…What is an enzyme? An enzyme is a bioactive polypeptide coded to break down a specific substrate. In this case, it breaks protein down to free-form amino acids. Since your body cannot naturally digest all the protein, Aminogen has the ability to release more amino acids from the protein than the action of the digestive enzymes alone. What is the big deal? Amino Acids are necessary building blocks of all proteins- commonly referred to as muscle food.

The following are types of Amino Acids released by Aminogen:

Glutamine: which is known to have an affect on body composition, regulation of body weight AND the immune system. Glutamine Peptides also help in injury recovery

Branched Chain Amino Acids: Isoleucine, Leucine and Valine- known to promote protein synthesis, serve as muscle fuel, combat fatigue and strengthen the immune system. BCAA’s are found in every source of protein.

Arginine: known to have a positive effect on weight loss and body fat loss, as well as, serve as a precursor for creatine which may increase the size and strength of muscle.

Lysine: known to release growth hormones

How does Aminogen Work?

A. Aminogen works its best when you are on a high protein diet. According to the RDA a high protein diet is anything over 56 g of protein per day based on a 150 pound person. Again, Aminogen, as defined above, works with your body and on the protein in your digestive system to make more free amino acids available for use by the body.

Why do I need these proteins broken down into amino acids?

Many athletes ingest higher amounts of protein in attempt to supply additional amino acids for the building and repair of muscle tissue. Others rely on ingesting large amounts of amino acids supplements.

Where do these free amino acids go after they are released?

The free amino acids released by Aminogen circulate to perform vital functions in the body, such as building muscles, resulting in body compositional change.

What is the advantage of taking Aminogen over other digestive enzyme-based supplements?

By taking Aminogen with your high protein diet you are enabling your body to absorb more free amino acids from the protein you ingest to build muscle, increase lean body mass, decrease body fat and support vital body functions. 8 Ultimately, you are eliminating the need to ingest other free form amino acid supplements that are not natural, work slower and cost more money.

Who will benefit from taking Aminogen?

Anyone who is on a high protein diet and interested in getting the highest amount of amino acids from the protein they eat in order to build the body. You do not have t be a body builder to benefit from Aminogen. If your protein needs are great, or if you are required to control your protein intake, Aminogen will maximize the benefits of the protein you eat.

What is the scientific support for Aminogen?

Controlled laboratory studies consisting of a simulated human gastrointestinal model have demonstrated that 42% more free form amino acids were released with Aminogen at a dose of 250 mg per 100 g of protein.

Animal studies have shown that by taking Aminogen (50 mg/1 g of protein), you will achieve 20% more free form amino acids in the bloodstream while taking Aminogen than by your natural digestive secretions alone.

Is Aminogen all natural?

Yes.

What product forms are available in Aminogen?

Powder.

When do I take Aminogen?

You should take Aminogen immediately before or after you ingest protein.

Are there any side effects of Aminogen?

The only side effect is less gas.
