It’s not always practical to prepare food throughout the day to get 2.5g of leucine or 25g of protein at a meal or snack multiple times per day. In addition, if you’re vegetarian then getting the 2.5g of leucine to turn on protein synthesis is near impossible to consume with food alone to prevent muscle loss. Protein powders and/or Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) will be necessary every day. 

Whey protein powder is the other 20% of the protein found in cow milk, however the structure and function of this protein is much different from casein.

Benefits

• Maximizes protein synthesis and muscle adaptation

• 1 hour fast absorption to start recovery sooner

• Decreases cholesterol absorption lowering your LDL, triglycerides, a1c, and insulin levels

*Lifestyle Protocol

• Add 1 scoop to water and take 30 minutes after a workout

*Whey protein powders are safe for those who are lactose intolerant, because the lactose sugars have been removed from the cow milk during manufacturing.

*Gluten free, no artificial sweeteners

*Contains 2.2g of Leucine per serving to flip the switch on protein synthesis.
