Why BioTechUSA 100% Pure Whey is worth it
-
Around 20 g protein per serving: 28 g of powder provides 19 to 21 g protein depending on flavour, e.g. 106 kcal, 1.4 g fat, 2.7 g carbohydrates (of which 2.0 g sugars)
-
BCAAs in every serving: approx. 4.0 to 4.4 g L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-valine per 28 g, depending on flavour
-
With L-glutamine and L-arginine: in addition to the amino acid profile of whey protein, plus the protein-digesting enzyme bromelain from pineapple (1200 GDU/g)
-
Whey complex with CFM technology: whey protein concentrate and isolate, 84 to 92% of the recipe depending on flavour; cross-flow microfiltration reduces the lactose content of the raw material without enzymatic treatment and without chemical additives
-
No added sugar: sweetened with sucralose, and free from palm oil and preservatives
-
Gluten-free: in accordance with EU regulations, also palm-oil-free and without preservatives
-
Flavours and servings: 400 g = 14 servings; flavours: Bourbon Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Cookies & Cream, Rice Pudding
Your benefit in training
-
Muscle mass and strength on average: Across 49 studies with a total of 1,863 healthy adults, additional protein combined with strength training gave a small average gain: around 0.3 kg fat-free mass and around 2.5 kg more in the one-repetition maximum.
-
Whey for strength trainees: In people who strength train, a meta-analysis of 9 studies found on average a small additional effect of whey-containing supplements on fat-free mass and strength.
-
Compact: 14 servings: 400 g makes 14 shakes with around 20 g protein each at approx. 106 kcal, a handy way to try the whey complex and flavour.
-
5 flavours: Bourbon Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Cookies & Cream and Rice Pudding; the whey complex provides 4.0 to 4.4 g BCAAs per serving as well as L-glutamine and L-arginine.
What the research says: The gains are small and only occur together with regular strength training; beyond a total intake of about 1.6 g protein per kg of body weight per day, this analysis showed no further gain in fat-free mass. The whey meta-analysis covers only 9 studies, none longer than 12 weeks; for whey alone the effect was not statistically confirmed there, and it showed more clearly in blended products, for example with creatine.
The background
Whey is produced during cheese-making from the milk of free-range cows and is not wasted but processed further into a sweet, protein-rich raw material. For the raw material, BioTechUSA uses CFM technology (cross-flow microfiltration): more filtration means a higher protein content, and the lactose content falls without enzymatic treatment and without chemical additives.
What protein does
- Protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass.
