CNP Performance-Be the better you!



New Brand Labels Coming soon!
          As a fitness model, I get stopped often and asked about the types of workouts I do, what my diet is like, and especially what kind of products I use. Most people would consider me of a bias opinion when I mention my sponsor, CNP Performance. Well… duh, they are my sponsor, so of course I am going to mention them first. But also, it works for my body in combination of my workouts and eating regimen. This interview isn’t about me, but about the quality and history of CNP Performance is what I want to share with you.

            I could remember 2 ½ years ago, walking in to the CNP office praying I got some sort of recognition from them to be worthy enough to get sponsored. After about a year of selling their product out of my car, they finally found me worthy enough to be considered a fully sponsored athlete. CNP has held their standards of their products high and valuable. Being that it is a family business too, they themselves maintain a level of dignity, morals, and loyalty.

            I will testify, their products (along with a proper eating regimen and working-out!) have made me the beast that I am today. During a workout, I use a combination of ProGF (no caffeine) and ProSlams (no caffeine) both loaded with BetaAlanine and peptide bonded glutamine. For my post-workout, I’m usually having a MBF (Mass BuildingFormula, ProPeptide) mixed with water. Then at night I always have a little treat with the protein pudding, ProDessert. I do feel significantly better and stronger when I train. I know with CNP (Certified Nutritional Products) I am getting a high quality protein with a high absorption rate.

I interviewed James, President of CNP. He will detail properties below.

1. Hi James! To start off, can you introduce yourself and talk about the position you hold with CNP Performance? My names is James Ernster, President of CNPPerformance Sports Nutrition.  I have worked for CNP in some way, shape, or form since its conception in 1998.

2. What is the history behind CNP Performance?
The history of CNP started in 1998 with an idea of how we can make a better protein than what was out there at the time.  My grandfather, John Ernster and Phil Connolly developed the ProPeptide to be produced for the best of the best atheletes out there.  Propeptide was way ahead of the game then and still is today with its blended formula.  CNP was originally Dorian Yates Approved which after 5 years was changed to CNP Professional after Dorian wanted to do his own thing in the fitness and supplement industry.  From there we were CNP Professional, up in tell a year ago when we changed are name to CNP Performance along with a label change and logo change.    

3. What about CNP Performance that sets apart from any other supplement brand?
Our brand is all about performance and recovery.  CNP ProPeptide is a blended protein with whey protein, micellar casein, and egg protein to make our ProPeptide a true time release protein to stay anti-catabolic repairing muscle.  We have also added probiotics that have been bonded to the micellar casein to help protect the delicate probiotics in the stomach.  You cannot have a great protein without peptide bonded glutamine. Healthy from the inside out with this blend, we want you to not only look healthy, we want you to feel healthy.  Our formula has not changed other than changing the flavors to better the taste.  The blend of proteins has been the same and we do not plan on changing anything unless there is scientific data to back up the change.  

4. What would you recommend to the bodybuilder from CNP?
It would depend on where the bodybuilder is in his or her training, but to get size I would recommend the Propeptide Mass Building Formula with 42 grams of our special protein blend and 84 grams of carbohydrate, with only 1 gram of sugar. Also enhanced with probiotics and peptide bonded glutamine.  I would also recommend the Pro GF as a pre-workout and during, for an amino acid cocktail.  I would also have he or she take a pre-bedtime ProPeptide shake because of the time release protein you will have the nutrients there when you need it.  Between the two products I can guarantee results. 

5. What would you recommend to the athlete that does more full body workouts?
Full body workouts, like crossfit or a combination of cardio and weight lifting is hard on the body.  I would recommend the ProPeptide at least twice a day. Once right after the workout to start the repair process and one shake before he or she goes to bed to finish of the recovery. 
6. What would you recommend to the average person just trying to maintain or lose weight? I would recommend the ProPeptide and the Pro Dessert.  They both have a great blended protein with little carbohydrates. Most people do not get enough protein in their diet, so this is a easy and healthy way to get a high quality protein with added probiotics and peptide bonded glutamine. The healthier the body is the better your body can cope with everyday stresses.  Get health from the inside out. 

7. How do you utilize the product in your busy lifestyle?
I make sure to have at least two Propeptide shakes per day; one in the morning and one in the afternoon.  On training days, I add in the Pro GF as a pre or during a workout amino acid cocktail. If I change it up, it would be with beta alanine, mixed with either a ProSlam or the ProBeta Alanine. This will give me the extra push I need and it helps me keep my focus. 


8. What is the future for CNP Performance? The future for CNP is to continue to make high quality supplements.  We plan on bring out a couple new supplements so keep your eye out for see new great products.

9. Where can someone buy your products? You can find CNP Products in many different avenues from Nutrition shops to online stores like www.bodybuilding.com to our web site www.cnpperformance.com
