| Whey Protein (available in dutch cocoa or vanilla creme) |
||
| Short Description: A top-quality dietary protein complex. | ||
| Quantity: 2.0 pounds (908 g) powdered instant whey protein mix. | ||
| Directions: Mix one scoop into 12 oz. of water or other liquid. Stir well. Enjoy! | ||
| Primary Function: Promoting lean muscle development and retention. Detailed Description: This is a super high-quality optimal protein scientifically engineered for serious fitness enthusiasts and competitive athletes. This whey protein formula starts with a proprietary blend of pure, premium quality, partially pre-digested (hydrolyzed) and micro-filtered whey protein isolate and concentrate. These superior proteins have been carefully processed through a series of refined, ultra-sensitive filtration procedures. |

The formula calls for a low-temperature process in order to maintain and provide a full spectrum of intact bioactive peptides (beta-lactoglobulin, alphalactabuniin, giycomacropeptides, immunoglobulins, bovine serum and lactoferrin) to help promote maximum lean muscle development and retention. To further enhance the product, superior flavorings such as Dutch Cocoa Chocolate and Vanilla Crème were specially blended and incorporated with a state-of-the-art sweetener Sucralose (as opposed to Aspartame or Acesulfame K). Nothing was spared in the development of this formula. It is nothing short of extraordinary. Admittedly, there are less expensive protein powders on the market - and all over the web. They are, however, usually inferior — from raw ingredients to the manufacturing process. We make no apologies for our unwillingness to compromise. | |
| Two Classifications of Protein Dietary protein is basically divided into two classifications: Complete protein sources, commonly referred to as Class I Proteins, include all animal proteins (e.g., beef, chicken, fish, etc.) and dairy products (e.g., eggs, milk, cheese, etc.). Class I Protein sources provide all of the essential and nonessential amino acids necessary for proper tissue growth and metabolism. Additionally, Class I Protein sources have been found to have a high level of nitrogen retention or biological value (BV) in the body. Class II Protein sources include vegetables, nuts, grains, seed, and legumes. When combined correctly, these foods offer a complete source of protein. Class II Protein sources, however, are typically lower in biological value (BV), net protein utilization (NPU), and protein efficiency rate (PER). These values are developed and determined by nutritionists to measure the protein quality of various foods based upon their amino acid composition.Biological Value (BV): The percentage of absorbed nitrogen retained in the body. Net Protein Utilization (NPU): Includes the biological value and the degree of the food protein’s digestibility. Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER): This is based on the weight gain of a growing test animal divided by its protein intake over a study period of about 10 days. The US Recommended Daily Allowance of Class I Protein for a 150 pound male is 45grams per day. If the same 150 pound male obtained his protein from Class II Protein sources exclusively, his daily protein requirement for Class II protein sources would be 65 grams per day. Several protein drink mixes available today are primarily comprised of carbohydrates and contain only 20 percent of Class II protein. When these protein drink mixes are combined with the amount of milk suggested in the mixing instructions, the percentage and quality of the protein increases greatly. This process allows the protein manufacturers to deceptively label these products. All protein drink mixes and amino acid formulas listed in this catalog are derived from Class I Protein sources. Always keep in mind that in order for a protein’s amino acids to be available for the body’s cells, the protein must be fully digested. The greater the volume of protein consumed and the lower its NPU, the more energy the body will require to properly digest it, thus the longer it will take for the amino acids to become available to the body tissues. Generally when food is digested, it takes approximately four to five hours for the nutrients to leave the small intestine and move to the target areas (i.e. amino pools, body tissues, etc.) where the amino acids are most needed. With a high quality anabolic drink mix, however, this process should only require one hour. |
