USING PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTS Most Americans don’t get enough protein in their diets to support their busy lifestyles. Times have changed and even those that don’t exercise regularly have a protein deficiency. For those that do exercise, protein is a key component of post-workout recovery. Utilizing the right blend of carbohydrates and protein for Recovery can help your body, build, heal and ultimately reach your health and wellness goals. Whey Protein Supplementation is an ideal source for assisting in Recovery and squashing a protein deficiency once and for all. WHEY PROTEIN CHOICES There are two different forms of Whey Protein. Whey Protein Concentrate has anywhere between 29% and 89% protein depending upon the product. As the protein level in Whey Concentrate decreases, the amounts of fat and/or lactose usually increase. Whey Protein Concentrates have a higher percentage of large peptides and therefore are not as readily absorbed by the body. Whey Protein Isolate is the most pure and concentrated form of protein available. It contains 90% or more protein and very little (if any) fat and lactose. The process of making an Isolate involves hydrolyzation or fermentation which breaks down the larger peptides into smaller ones called Isolates. These very small peptides are easily absorbed by the body. Protein Supplementation Nutri-Facts|
