The inside scoop

Balanced Proprietary blend (95%) - Whey Protein Concentrate & Whey Protein isolate

Whey protein concentrate: Whey protein concentrate is termed a ''concentrate'' because it has the power of the richest protein source (16-20 eggs) in just few grams of the powder. It is low in fat and carbohydrate content. Whey protein concentrate helps to preserve lean muscle tissue, it boosts energy and enhances the muscular performance. It is known to help insulin work efficiently and keeps the blood sugar level at a constant. It delivers the branched chain aminoacids which are immediately used by the muscle tissue for energy during a work out and repair. 

Whey protein isolate: It is different from whey protein concentrate, in whey protein isolate all the fat and lactose is removed and the resulting powder contains 90% protein. It is easier to digest and suitable for those with lactose intolerance. It also provides the branched chain aminoacids, which are the preferred source of fuel for the muscle tissue. The main components of whey protein isolate are beta-lactoglobulin and alpha-lactoglobluin. Beta-lactoglobulin binds with fat soluble vitamins and alpha-lactoglobulin binds with calcium and immunoglobins and enhance immune health. 

Branched chain aminoacids – Isoleucine, leucine and valine

Isoleucine: It is one among the essential aminoacids that is not produced by the body but needs to be supplied in the diet. Isoleucine along with the other two branched chain amino acids helps in protein synthesis, muscle repair and recovery. Isoleucine spares the breakdown of muscle protein to make new aminoacids and hence it is anti-catabolic in nature. They also play a role in producing red blood cells, improving blood circulation and increases endurance. 

Leucine: One among the branched chain aminoacids, similar to isoleucine, leucine demonstrates protein-sparing action hence it is anti-catabolic in nature. Due to its muscle-building action it helps you to develop lean muscle mass while dieting to lose the unwanted fat. Studies point that leucine is directly linked in activating a compound that is responsible for protein synthesis. Because of this reason, this branched chain aminoacids has a dual role of not only making protein molecules but also up-regulating the process. Consuming a supplement containing leucine is an effective strategy to increase muscle mass development after intense exercise. 

Valine: One among the branched chain aminoacids, it is important for boosting the immune function. It helps in muscle protein building, and increases endurance and helps in repair. It is one among the preferred source of energy for muscles during exercise. This aspect is crucial for decreasing muscle fatigue and improving performance. Most of the valine is absorbed by the muscle tissue where it is used on an ongoing basis. 

Other Essential & non-essential amino acids: Other essential aminoacids include lysine, methionine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, threonine. Non-essential aminoacids include alanine, glycine, histidine, proline, cystine, tyrosine, arginine, serine, aspratic acid, glutamic acid.
