Whey isolate is a form of whey purified without the use of heat. Isolates tend to be lower in lactose, fat and cholesterol than whey concentrates and hence provides more protein and less of non-essential nutrients. Generally 97% lactose free, with virtually no fat. Recommended for sportsmen for rapid recovery and lean muscle gain.

Why do I need a protein supplement?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA. Everyone should have all 20 amino acids available to the body through the bloodstream all of the time. If the body does not have adequate amounts, it will break down muscle and other tissues to get the amino acids it needs for vital, life-sustaining functions − this is known as a catabolic state. Protein is the best way to get all of the essential amino acids that the body needs. However, it can be difficult for some people to get high-quality protein daily through whole foods alone. Supplementing can thus be a good option for these. Even if you are able to get the sufficient amount of protein through your diet, protein-rich foods take time to digest and may be moderately high in calories. If you are counting calories and require fast-digesting protein, you should consider a protein supplement.\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"mt-4\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"font-weight-bold\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eQ.

These individuals would partake in weight training, cross fit, or competitive sports.\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"mt-4\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"font-weight-bold\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eQ. How is the real protein amount determined?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA. Determining the amount of real protein in a supplement comes down to accurate testing and measurement. To accurately calculate the amount of real protein in a protein supplement, the nitrogen from other ingredients such as amino acids, betaine and creatine, are subtracted from the total. Some companies use these ingredients to spike protein test results by not subtracting the nitrogen from these other sources. This practice is referred to as “protein spiking” or “amino spiking.” It is when ingredients that are not whole proteins are being used to spike protein test results. Many of these ingredients have a specific purpose and benefit, but they should not be counted as protein grams. We at GNC guarantee that every one of our protein products contains the full amount of protein stated on the label and is 100% Real Protein with NO protein spiking.\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"mt-4\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"font-weight-bold\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eQ.

Further purification to WPC leads to whey isolates. Whey isolate is fractionated and dried so that the protein content is about 90%. Hence fast absorbing. Whey isolate is a form of whey purified without the use of heat. Isolates tend to be lower in lactose, fat and cholesterol than whey concentrates and hence provides more protein and less of non-essential nutrients. Generally 97% lactose free, with virtually no fat. Recommended for sportsmen for rapid recovery and lean muscle gain. Since, it is absorbed quickly, it maximize the anabolic response to the exercise.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p-0 font-weight-bold mb-1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNumber Of Servings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e55 Servings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p-0 font-weight-bold mb-1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProtein In Serving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e24g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p-0 font-weight-bold mb-1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eScoops Per Serving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 Scoop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p-0 font-weight-bold mb-1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFlavors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eChocolate Supreme | Chocolate Fudge | Vanilla Cream | Strawberry | Cookies and Cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p-0 font-weight-bold mb-1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePack size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 Kgs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p-0 font-weight-bold mb-1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOther Ingredients\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCocoa Powder, Maltodextrin, Anti-Caking Agent (INS 551), Emulsifier (INS 322), Sweeteners (INS 955, INS 950)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p-0 font-weight-bold mb-1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWarning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUse as a Food Supplement only, do not use for weight reduction.

Why do I need a protein supplement?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA. Everyone should have all 20 amino acids available to the body through the bloodstream all of the time. If the body does not have adequate amounts, it will break down muscle and other tissues to get the amino acids it needs for vital, life-sustaining functions − this is known as a catabolic state. Protein is the best way to get all of the essential amino acids that the body needs. However, it can be difficult for some people to get high-quality protein daily through whole foods alone. Supplementing can thus be a good option for these. Even if you are able to get the sufficient amount of protein through your diet, protein-rich foods take time to digest and may be moderately high in calories. If you are counting calories and require fast-digesting protein, you should consider a protein supplement.\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"mt-4\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"font-weight-bold\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eQ.

The GNC Pro Performance range is for those whose goal is to stay fit, active, and healthy and who partake in light to moderate resistance training. The Pro Performance Amp range is for those who prioritize increased strength, improved performance, and more muscles. These individuals would partake in weight training, cross fit, or competitive sports.\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"mt-4\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"font-weight-bold\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eQ. How is the real protein amount determined?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA. Determining the amount of real protein in a supplement comes down to accurate testing and measurement. To accurately calculate the amount of real protein in a protein supplement, the nitrogen from other ingredients such as amino acids, betaine and creatine, are subtracted from the total. Some companies use these ingredients to spike protein test results by not subtracting the nitrogen from these other sources. This practice is referred to as “protein spiking” or “amino spiking.” It is when ingredients that are not whole proteins are being used to spike protein test results. Many of these ingredients have a specific purpose and benefit, but they should not be counted as protein grams. We at GNC guarantee that every one of our protein products contains the full amount of protein stated on the label and is 100% Real Protein with NO protein spiking.\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"mt-4\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"font-weight-bold\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eQ.

Maltodextrins are part of the carbohydrates food group. They have a calorific value of 4 kcal\/g. Carbohydrates support a number of the body’s basic metabolic processes and should form 50-55% of the body’s total energy intake. The EFSA has confirmed that the consumption of carbohydrates, including maltodextrins, supports the normal functioning of the brain and muscles.\u003csub data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(EFSA, 2014)\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMaltodextrins (MDs) are a class of carbohydrates (CHOs) extracted from a range of botanical sources.

It has been shown that a combination of MDs with protein and\/or amino acids can promote enhanced glycogen recovery and stimulate muscle protein synthesis following an intense exercise protocol. Thus, this carbohydrate provides the body with an easily digested quick supply of glycogen.

Carbohydrate consumption of 1.2 g\/kg every 30 min over 3.5 h also resulted in maximal glycogen replenishment.
