Description
A question that we are often faced with as nutritionists is “how will this product help me and how often should I be consuming it?” So, let us break this down for you!
What are the Key Benefits of taking Impact Whey Protein?
Protein:
– Macromolecules which are essential for structure, transport, regulation, movement, signalling and act as catalysts.
– Protein feeding stimulates Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS) to recover, rebuild and adapt muscle fibres.
– Protein increases satiety so you are fuller for longer and have less chance of snacking on junk food; this way, your lean muscle gains are in safe hands!
– Whey Protein is extremely popular within the sports nutrition market due to its unique rapid absorbtion rate and uptake by skeletal muscles.
Glutamine:
– Thousands of amino acids are what form large protein structures within your body; Glutamine is the most abundant and plays a huge role in promoting muscle exertion and recovery, immune support and gastrointestinal health.
BCAA’s:
– These make up 35% of your skeletal muscle mass and are the building blocks for new proteins.
– Consuming food alone won’t provide you with the same quality and quantity of amino acids as Impact Whey Protein.
– Contains 2g of Leucine which is the master in stimulating protein synthesis and activating compounds to help build muscle.
How is our Impact Whey Protein made?
Impact Whey Protein is a by-product formed during the manufacturing process of milk (from grass fed cattle) and cheese to leave a premium powder. Myprotein’s team of expert product developers have then added a bespoke blend of scientifically proven ingredients to support muscle growth. Each serving boasts an impressive 80% protein content delivering 20g, 4.5g of Branched-chain-amino-acids (BCAA’s), 3.6g of Glutamine and minimal fat (1.9g) and carbohydrates (1g). Put simply, if you’re searching for a quality assured whey protein powder which delivers exceptional value for money with a remarkable nutritional profile, look no further!
What are your everyday Protein Requirements?
- Sedentary– Currently, the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends sedentary (inactive) individuals to consume 0.8g of protein per kilo of your body weight (so for a 75 kg person this would accumulate to 60g a day).
- Active – exercising places constant mechanical load on your muscle fibres, so you require more protein to repair and manufacture damaged fibres. For high-intense sports like sprinting, rugby, powerlifting etc, target 1.6-2g of protein per kilo of your body weight (so for a 75kg person this would be 120-150g a day).
- Timing – Based on the scientific literature, and to maintain protein synthesis (making of new proteins) you should intermittently spread your daily protein requirements across the day; 20-25g of protein every 3-4 hours.
- Post exercise – always consume 25-30g of protein within 60 minutes post exercise. This quantity is scientifically proven tostimulate protein synthesis.
- Body’s capabilities –Your body cannot store additional protein, so consuming excessive amounts is ineffective and costly as your body will eventually excrete this.
Is this product for me?
This product is suitable for any individual who is active, looking to meet their daily individual protein requirements. Whether you are an elite athlete or a recreational cross-fitter, protein is an integral component of everyone’s diet regimen due to its master role in muscle growth and repair.
