REAL PROTEIN
Real Protein products are formulated based on clear whey protein isolate.
Ready to drink products are completely transparent, naturally flavored and contain no artificial colors, preservatives, or additives.
Whey protein isolate is created by filtering milk protein. Whey proteins are highly bioavailable, are very quickly absorbed into the body, and have a high concentration of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) [1 which are highly concentrated in muscle tissue, and are used to fuel working muscles and stimulate protein synthesis. Whey isolates yield a higher percentage of pure protein and can be filtered enough to be virtually lactose free, carbohydrate free, fat free, and cholesterol free.
Compared to whey concentrates, caseins, milk, or soy proteins, whey protein isolate (WPI) contains the highest amounts of the valuable microfractions in whey that support increases in lean muscle mass.
It has higher concentrations of the essential branched chain amino acids L-isoleucine, L-leucine, and l-valine, and is a rich source of the powerful microfractions alpha-lactalbumin and glycomacropeptides, which are key factors in enhancing bioavailability, boosting immune response, and greatly increasing anabolic activity. Whey isolate also has demonstrated a nutrient partitioning effect, driving nutrients away from fat storage and toward accumulation of lean muscle tissue. Finally, high quality whey protein isolate contains no fat, lactose or impurities.
During and following exercise, branched chain amino acids are absorbed directly into the skeletal muscles instead of being metabolized in the liver, ultimately increasing muscle mass. In addition, during exercise, whey helps dilate blood vessels to promote better blood flow and transport of nutrients to the muscle tissues.
Although the one gram per pound of body weight applies to bodybuilders and extreme athletes, those who are not actively engaged in strenuous exercise should take less. Lactose-intolerant individuals can still have problems with whey protein isolate, although the isolate only contains about one percent lactose.
Whey Protein Isolate vs. Traditional Protein
Nutritional Difference between Whey Protein Isolate and Traditional Protein Drinks.
The primary difference between whey protein and its isolate form is the amount of protein, lactose, and fat present. Whey protein powder contains anywhere from 11 to 14.5 percent protein, 63 to 75 percent lactose, and 1 to 1.5 percent milk fat, whey protein isolate is over 90 percent protein and contains roughly 0.5 percent of lactose and milk fat.
Advantages of Whey Protein:
- Assist in maintaining the proper weight
- Act as a natural antibacterial or anti-viral
- Improve the function of the immune system
- Improve blood pressure
- Improve the function of the digestive system
- Improve athletic performance
- Reduce Liver Damage
- Reduce the symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
