WHEY ISOLATE

Drinking a protein shake after a workout has been a classic in bodybuilding since Arnold era.
You get a quick meal and you provide your muscles with much-needed protein and amino
acids. Most people consume whey concentrate because it is the cheapest and there's nothing
wrong with that but it contains only 80% protein. There are powders which have much higher
protein content, up to 100%, which are called whey isolate. If you want to be sure that you're
taking pure protein, then visit our online store fatburnerking.at and buy whey isolate.

What is a whey isolate?

Whey protein is a dietary supplement made out of whey, a cheesemaking byproduct, by


isolating the protein in it. It is one of the best studied supplements in the world and it is the
most bioavailable source of protein in the world. That means that our body absorbs and uses
every molecule of it.

Whey concentrate has a bioavailability index of 104 in contrast to chicken, for example,
which as an index of 79. Whey isolate is the king of whey products and its index can get up to
159, depending on the purity.

Whey protein is produced by filtering and processing whey. The liquid is then dried and
formed into a powder. Concentrate powder contains around 80% protein and the remaining
20% are mostly carbohydrates and fats, in a negligible amount.

Whey isolate goes through the further processing and filtration. Water and any sugars and fats
are generally removed and the protein content is increased. This process requires more power
and work so the price of a whey isolate is consequently higher.

Typical whey isolates have around 90% protein content but nowadays there are more products
on the market which are getting closer to that 100% protein content.

Why is protein important?

Protein is essential for the proper functioning of our body and it’s one of the three
macronutrients. Your body can’t produce it on its own and you have to consume it through
food or supplements. Proteins are building blocks of a skeletal muscle. Consuming protein
shake after the workout is essential for activating muscle protein synthesis and repairing
process.

High protein intake is obligatory for muscle hypertrophy as well as for preventing the muscle
catabolism, i.e. muscle loss. Consuming more protein can make you lose more fat as protein
has the highest thermogenic effect; our body burns more calories to burn protein than fats and
carbs. It is also the most satiating macro so if you eat more protein, you will most likely eat
less in general and lose more weight.

Use and dosages

Anytime you like. Aim for 1.6-2.4g/day of protein per kilogram of body weight for muscle
growth. Whey powder is a supplement and not a food replacement!

Buy whey isolate online on our online store fatburnerking.at and use the purest source of
protein ever made!
