BioTechUSA Iso Whey Zero 454 g: 21 g Protein and Less Than 0.5 g Sugar per Serving
Pure protein. Zero compromises. A shake after training, protein in your porridge or a spoonful in your yoghurt: BioTechUSA Iso Whey Zero is a whey protein isolate from multi-stage filtration (CFM), obtained without enzymatic treatment, using low-temperature filtration instead of high-temperature treatment. One serving (25 g) provides 21 g of protein with just 0.5 g of fat and less than 0.5 g of sugar, plus added L-glutamine (5.5%) and BCAAs. The 454 g pack makes 18 servings and comes in 13 flavours.
Why Iso Whey Zero is worth it
-
21 g protein: per serving (25 g), main ingredient whey protein isolate (84% in the Caffè Latte flavour)

-
Lactose: 1 g per 100 g: from filtration instead of enzymatic treatment, plus 0.5 g fat per serving
-
Added amino acids: L-glutamine (5.5%) as well as L-leucine (0.2%), L-isoleucine (0.1%) and L-valine (0.1%) as BCAAs; plus an average of 9,046 mg of essential amino acids per serving, of which 2,077 mg is L-leucine

Your benefit for your training
-
A small gain in fat-free mass: In a meta-analysis of 65 studies (2,907 participants), additional protein gave adults aged 18 to 55 a small average gain in fat-free mass (around 0.6 kg).
-
Milk protein compared in studies: Milk proteins such as whey were effective for muscle mass and strength in resistance training in a network meta-analysis of 116 studies (4,711 adults) (moderate certainty of evidence).
-
21 g protein at 94 kcal: Per 25 g serving, with 0.5 g fat, less than 0.5 g sugar and 1 g lactose per 100 g; L-glutamine (5.5%) as well as L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-valine are added.
-
To try: 18 servings, 13 flavours: White Chocolate, Chocolate, Caffè Latte, Cookies & Cream, Coconut, Vanilla, Pistachio, Dark Chocolate, Strawberry, Pineapple Mango, Banana, Hazelnut and Black Biscuit.
What the research says: For strength (leg press), the difference in the same meta-analysis was not significant, and the effects on muscle mass are small. The network meta-analysis is based on indirect comparisons, and the authors call for direct head-to-head studies.
The science behind it
According to BioTechUSA, protein is the foundation of nutrition: it has to be supplied daily because the body does not store it, and it is essential for maintaining and building muscle. With CFM technology (cross-flow microfiltration), the lactose content of the raw material is reduced without enzymatic treatment and without chemical additives. The additional low-temperature filtration step reliably removes bacteria and reduces the fat and sugar content of the raw material, so that the whey protein is preserved in its native, pure form.
What protein does
- Protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass.
- Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass.
- Protein contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.
