Body builders
take protein powders to
develop muscles. Weight
lifters take extra protein to help them get stronger. People who are
underweight take protein to gain weight. As people age, in general,
they tend
to lose weight. Protein is an excellent source of gaining weight in
cases of
both nutritional deficiency and weight loss for unknown reasons and,
particularly, due to advancing years. Proteins are used in the
production of
skin, hair, muscles and bones. In addition, protein is used to
manufacture
hormones, enzymes, cellular messengers, and immune system components.
Without
adequate protein, the body does not have the ability to put cells,
tissues and
organs together.
Despite the
central role played by
proteins in all life
processes, it is only recently that researchers have begun to
understand the
role of certain dietary proteins in muscle toning, immune enhancement
and, in
fact, in longevity. One particular protein has garnered considerable
attention
that is found in all milks called whey, which is processed to transform
into
whey protein concentrate. Ultimate Nutrition's Supreme Whey is the whey
protein.
Whey protein
has long been
recognized as the best means
to repair tissue and to build muscle. Whey protein is a complete
cocktail that
contains all the essential and nonessential amino acids, and is also a
rich
source of branched-chain amino acids. Whey protein boosts the secretion
of
growth hormone naturally, which is promptly metabolized into
insulin-like
growth factor, IGF-1. It is the amounts of IGF-1 in the body that help
build
muscle and lean body mass in adults.
One of the
greatest benefits of whey
protein is that it improves
immune function and, notably, elevates cellular glutathione levels.
Glutathione
is one of body's own potent antioxidants. Furthermore, glutathione is a
detoxifying agent that neutralizes free radical metabolites and
prevents lipid
peroxidation of the cell membrane, which if left unchecked could break
the
cells open.
Ultimate
Nutrition's Supreme Whey is obtained by
a special procedure
called ultrafiltration to ensure that all micro-ingredients are
recovered. It
is highly soluble, and is readily dissolved in nutritious fluids for
maximal
absorption in the body to provide natural support to build muscle and
boost the
immune system.
FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Whey
Protein?
Cow's milk
contains
roughly 6% protein of which 80% is casein and the remaining 20% is
whey.
Usually, the term "whey protein" describes the milk proteins that
remain after cheese is made from the casein in milk. Whey protein is
comprised
of four major and six minor protein fractions. The major fraction
contains proteins
beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin, serum albumin and
immunoglobulins.
How Do You
Determine the Quality of
a Protein?
The most commonly used criterion to measure the quality of a protein is
its
Biological Value (BV), which is the amount of nitrogen (body protein)
that can
be replaced by 100 grams of protein in the adult diet. Simply put, it
means
that the higher the protein's biological value, the higher its nitrogen
retention. Practically speaking, proteins with high BV are the more
potent
muscle-building, growth-promoting proteins.
How Well is
Whey Protein Absorbed?
Upon ingestion, whey protein exits the stomach fairly quickly -in fact,
much
better than other proteins. Consequently, it is readily taken up in the
bloodstream through the intestines. This ensures a substantial rise in
blood
amino acid levels in a short period of time, which is important during
exercise
and recovery.
In What Fluids
is Whey Protein
Easily Dissolved?
Whey protein readily dissolves in water. Therefore, it can be mixed
with any nutritious
fluids, such as fruit juices.
How Much Fat
and Sugar Does Whey
Protein Contain?
Even though it is derived from milk, whey protein is essentially free
of both
fat and sugars normally found in the milk. Numerous methods used to
distill
whey into a high quality powder removes fat and sugar from it.
