Description
Whey protein, derived from milk, is one of the highest quality proteins available. Over the past several years, numerous research studies have demonstrated the significant health benefits of whey protein. In addition to being an excellent source of high quality protein, whey also contains significant amounts of the branched chain amino acids (BCAA’s) leucine, isoleucine and valine. Whey protein contains key building blocks for glutathione synthesis, and contains important immune supporting factors.* Overall, whey protein is one of the most versatile sources of protein, due to the many health benefits it provides. As part of a comprehensive weight management program, bodybuilding regimen, or as a way to meet daily protein requirements, whey protein can help support optimal health and wellness.*
Features:
• Contains a combination of ion-exchanged, ultra-filtered, whey protein concentrate and isolate.
• Rich in branched chain amino acids: L-Isoleucine, L-Leucine and L-Valine.
• Guaranteed free of rBGH (recombinant bovine growth hormone)-as there is no accurate way to test for rBGH, to ensure this hormone is not being used, it must be sourced from a country where it is illegal to use.
• Contains NO Genetically Modified Organisms (non-GMO).
• Natural chocolate also contain Sweta® brand stevia (no licorice aftertaste) and luo han guo fruit extract.
• Gluten free
Benefits:
• Whey protein is one of the highest quality proteins, which studies have shown help support the growth and maintenance of lean muscle tissue.*
• Rich in BCAA’s which are used to fuel working muscles and stimulate protein synthesis within muscletissue.*
• Whey contains high amounts of leucine which helps maintain lean muscle mass, provides an energy source for working muscles and initiates the biochemical processes that “fires up” protein synthesis.*
• A rich source of glutamine, an amino acid which helps support lean muscle mass and provides support for healthy immune and gastrointestinal function.*
• Whey protein is a source of gamma-glutamyl cysteine, a building block for the synthesis of glutathione, the body’s most powerful natural antioxidant. Glutathione is also essential for supporting liver detoxification, a biochemical pathway that helps neutralize potentially toxic substances and prepares them for excretion.*
• Whey protein contains several immunoglobulins (immune proteins) such as beta-lactoglobulin, alpha- lactalbumin and bovine serum albumin which help support normal, healthy immune function.*

PROTEIN - A VITAL NUTRIENT FOR HEALTH
Protein is a vital nutrient in any healthy diet, but for athletes and fitness enthusiasts, it's especially important. Proteins are used to produce hormones, enzymes, cellular messengers, nucleic acids, and immune-system components. Without adequate protein, our bodies can't put together the structures that make up every cell, tissue, and organ, nor can it generate the biochemical substances needed for cardiovascular function, muscle contraction, growth, and healing.
HEALTHY BONES AND MUSCLES
A daily supply of protein is required for bone and muscle maintenance for all ages. * The age-related loss of bone mass and loss of muscle mass are closely related and highly dependent on the maintenance of adequate muscle mass and function, which is in turn dependent on adequate intake of high quality protein.
HEALTHY WEIGHT & LEAN MUSCLE
Protein is the ultimate muscle food. * Without enough protein, your body can't produce energy or develop lean muscle mass in response to exercise. * Plus, a lack of protein may inhibit fat burning, making it harder to maintain healthy weight. * Protein is also key for post-workout recovery. Muscles wouldn't heal up as quickly without adequate protein which may lead to injury or fatigue.
