WHEY PROTEIN – PROTEIN 101
March 2020As fitness enthusiasts, we all know that protein is an essential part of any athlete’s diet, and it should be a staple in everyone’s diet. Whey is not just for body building; it produces energy, increases metabolism, and repairs muscles quickly. But what about the finer details? – Not all protein was created equally; therefore, we will focus on what makes Whey… well… Whey if that makes sense. Welcome to Whey Protein 101, firstly, let’s look at what Whey actually is:
What is whey protein?
Processors isolate a mix of proteins from whey, which they call whey protein. But what is Whey? It is actually the liquid part of milk that tends to separate during cheese production, creating a helpful by-product.
Various drying and crushing processes turn it into a powder, which we now use in whey protein shakes. Of course, the whey powder itself doesn't taste good, so producers flavor it with natural substances and flavorings
Blue Lab Whey comes in many tasty flavours:
- Chocolate
- Banana
- Strawberry
- Vanilla
These are flavours known to mask the taste of whey protein quite well. One thing you must watch out for though with many of these kinds of powders is the additives. Some companies like to add extra sugar and things with E-numbers in to give an additional short-term buzz, along with the protein going to work on your muscles.
Blue Lab Whey is perfect for you if you’re trying to gain muscle mass, but it’s also good if you want to tone up or gain lean mass. It mainly allows you to consume a higher intake of protein and BCAA’s, the important building blocks of the human body. SO, by adding more building blocks, you are building on and improving yourself and your fitness.
If you’re looking for a whey powder you can trust to deliver results, our Blue Lab Whey is the one we recommend. It comes in 9 flavours, contains up to 26g of protein per serving, and a single 2kg container gives you 58 servings, so it’s also a huge bargain!
