HOW DOES WHEY PROTEIN HELP?

Whey protein is a complete protein which supplies all 20 amino acids that the body needs. It contains carbohydrates, fibre and a good amount of healthy fats that the body can use for regeneration.

WHEY PROTEIN PROMOTES MUSCLE GAIN IN A NUMBER OF WAYS:

Contains high amount of amino acid leucine, which is known to stimulate muscle protein synthesis at the molecular and genetic level.

Increases the release of anabolic hormones like insulin that can stimulate muscle growth.

Whey protein is absorbed and utilised very quickly compared to other types of protein.

HOW DOES PROTEIN DIGEST IN OUR BODY?

THIS WHEY OR THAT WHEY?

Choose The Right One For You

CONCENTRATE

The most affordable and least processed form of whey that contains low levels of fat and carbohydrates. The percentage of protein depends on how concentrated it is.

ISOLATE

The result of filtering out whatever isn’t protein from whey concentrate, leaving a much purer form of protein that is easily digestible and contains less lactose and fat. The percentage of protein is usually 90% or higher.

HYDROLYSED

Considered to be the pre-digested form of whey protein as it has been partially hydrolysed for the purpose of making it easier for the body to metabolise. Most commonly used due to its improved digestibility and reduced allergen potential.

BLEND

This type contains a combination of some or all of the above types mixed together, most typically concentrates and isolates.

THE WHEY TO GO

There are many great sources of protein in meat and plant-based foods, but when you’re in a hurry or simply need a lightweight delivery system, protein shakes make good fuel or even handy meal replacements. Whey protein is suitable for anyone looking to build muscle mass, gain a performance edge, or support weight loss.
