WHEY PROTEIN
Whey Protein Isolate powders go through the best filtering process to remove fat and carbohydrates. In general, these powders will contain a higher percentage of protein compared to Whey Protein Concentrate - generally around 90% protein. These are best utilized immediately after a workout and first thing in the morning when fast-acting protein is needed most.

How amino acids are used
The human body uses amino acids in three main ways:
- Protein synthesis - new proteins are created constantly. For example, as old, dead cells are sloughed off the skin surface, new ones are pushed up to replace them.
- Precursors of other compounds - a range of substances are created using amino acids: for example, the brain chemical (neurotransmitter) serotonin and the ‘fight or flight’ chemical adrenalin.
- Energy - although carbohydrates are the body’s preferred fuel source, about 10 per cent of energy is derived from protein.

Whey Protein Powder
Benefits of Whey Protein Powder Isolate
SYMPTOMS OF PROTEIN DEFICIENCY
The human body can’t store protein, so it must be supplied on a daily basis from the foods we eat. Strict vegetarians who don’t consume any animal products at all are at increased risk of protein deficiency if they don’t eat a wide range of complementary plant proteins. Symptoms of protein deficiency include:
- Wasting and shrinkage of muscle tissue
- Oedema (build-up of fluids, particularly in the feet and ankles)
- Anaemia (the blood’s inability to deliver sufficient oxygen to the cells, usually caused by dietary deficiencies such as lack of iron)
- Slow growth (in children).
