Special Uses for PMX
|
Alpha PMX is an elemental nutrient formula that supplies a set of nutrients needed for performance nutrition. The Alpha ENF formula worked well in this application and the Alpha PMX formula was developed by changing the ENF formula. Alpha PMX was designed especially for use in fitness programs, athletic training and performance events. After we made and tested the PMX formula, other applications become obvious and many people now use PMX in ways we did not anticipate. Alpha PMX is now used routinely as a nutritional supplement or an energy drink, mixed in juice as a tube feeding formula and in traveling and survival applications The five main differences between Alpha ENF and PMX are:
Fat Free Occasionally, the fat component of Alpha ENF will bother a hypersensitive person and the fat-free Alpha PMX will be better tolerated. Fatty acids can be supply separately in the form of fresh vegetable oil added to the formula at the time of mixing with juices or water. Because it is fat free, the Alpha PMX formula has a longer shelf-life and can be used as emergency rations at home, for example, in an earth-quake survival kit or as back-up nutrition and survival rations on an ocean-cruiser. Fatty acids can be supplied separately in the form of fresh vegetable oil added to the formula at the time of mixing with juices or water. Amino Acids Instead of proteins, free amino acids are provided. A complete set of the nine essential amino acids is complemented by 10 of the non-essential amino acids. Both Alpha ENF and Alpha PMX contain branch-chain amino acids; higher concentration in Alpha PMX is designed to enhance muscle action and growth. Leucine in particular seems to promote muscle growth, acting in concert with insulin. The other two branch-chain amino acids, isoleucine and valine, may also supply muscle fuel if impairment of glucose utilization occurs. Arginine has been effective in improving tissue repair and can be considered growth-promoting. |
