Whey Protein

Product Details

WHEY PROTEIN is a 100% natural protein concentrate of whey and is specially ultrafiltered under low temperature to be low in fat, lactose and carbohydrates. WHEY PROTEIN is a rich source of glutamine-rich biologically active proteins. Fifty-one percent of the proteins found in whey are from BLG (Beta-Lactoglobulin), 20% of whey is ALB (Alpha-Lactalbumin), 10% Immunoglobulin, 10% Albumin, and 7% minor fractions(Beta-Microglobulin, lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, lysozyme, lactolin and relaxin). Albumin is of particular interestto researchers because of its elevated concentrations of glutamylcysteine, a precursor to the antioxidant glutathione.*

Product Benefits

WHEY PROTEIN supports muscle development because it is the richest natural source of BCAAs (Isoleucine, Leucine and Valine), important fuel components of muscle tissue. BCAAs are depleted from muscle tissue following strenuous exercise, which can cause catabolic loss of protein. BCAAs suppress proteolysis which is the breakdown of muscle tissue. BCAAs are important as a metabolic fuel for muscle and other tissues by their involvement in the alanine cycle (a process of energy production from BCAAs). BCAAs have been known to enhance performance in moderate as well as intense exercise by improving endurance. Each scoop (26 grams) of WHEY PROTEIN provides a total of 4.3 grams of BCAAs. No other source of protein provides as much BCAAs as whey.*Jarrow FORMULAS® 100% all natural WHEY PROTEIN is rich in glycomacropeptides, which are biologically active proteins that improve the digestion and absorption of nutrients and growth of bifidobacteria.*

Ingredients

100% Ultrafiltered Whey Protein from milk (comprising major isolate fractions: 51% Beta Lactoglobulin, 20% Alpha-Lactalbumin, 10% Immunoglobulin, 10% Albumin and 7% minor fractions, betamicroglobulin, lactoferrin and relaxin), fructose, vanilla flavor, guar gum, Fibersol®-2, Lo Han Guo [Momordica grosvenorii], and lecithin (from soy).

Dosage

Mix one level scoop (provided in container) of 100% natural WHEY PROTEIN with 4 to 6 oz. of cold water, soy-milk, juice or your favorite beverage. Take 1 to 2 servings daily after exercise, or as directed by your qualified health consultant. Additional servings may be taken if desired. For a protein smoothie, blend with crushed ice and add juice or fruit to taste. May also be used with cereals, yogurt or pancakes to increase the protein in the diet.
