WHEY PROTEIN 90 is a 90% whey protein obtained by micro-ultrafiltration (CFM) with added vitamins. GLUTEN FREE.
Whey Protein 90 is a 90% whey protein with a low fat and carbohydrate content that is easy to digest. Its high protein content (90%) and great solubility make it an easy-to-use product, ideal for maintaining muscle mass and for protein supplementation.
In the human organism, proteins have a primarily plastic/structural function. Proteins provide most of the 'building blocks' (amino acids) from which we are made and only become energy substrates under very specific conditions (e.g. prolonged fasting). The absorption rate of amino acids and small peptides in the gastrointestinal tract differs substantially depending on the type of protein from which they are derived. Whey protein has a relatively short residence time in the stomach and enters the small intestine faster than casein. This accounts for the better absorption and digestibility of these proteins, the intake of which results in a considerable increase in free amino acids in the blood within less than an hour of intake.
The increase in amino acids with whey protein is physiologically important if it occurs during the time interval of 1 to 2 hours after training; a period when muscle protein synthesis in athletes is maximised.
The filtration technique for extracting proteins from whey is a physical process which therefore does not involve the use of chemicals, also guaranteeing a high protein percentage (min. 90%).
The high percentage allows for a minimal amount of lactose to be tolerated even by those with a slight intolerance to this sugar.
These proteins are suitable in the final phase of preparation for bodybuilding competitions, due to their 'purity' and very low sugar and fat content.
To the formulation, B vitamins have been added, which are essential for transforming food into energy, as they play a fundamental role in the construction of haemoglobin (the molecule used to transport oxygen in our muscles) and, together with vitamin C, have antioxidant power.
*Caseins and serum proteins are the protein sources of milk.
French researchers have shown that caseins and serum proteins have different digestibility and availability in the body.
Caseins are digested more slowly than serum proteins, contributing to a longer sense of satiety. Serum proteins, on the other hand, are a source of protein and, therefore, faster utilising amino acids, indicated to transport amino acids to the cells in a shorter time.
The message for bodybuilders regarding protein supplementation with whey protein or caseins is that they are easier to use than consuming whole or skim milk, as they are concentrated proteins with a low sugar and fat content (American Journal Clinical Nutrition, 84:1070-1079).
Indications for use: dissolve in 100 ml of water or low-fat milk.
