Whey
is a natural dairy protein that is derived from the cheese making
process.
Most commercial whey supplements are derived from cow's milk, which is
comprised of 6.25% protein: 20% in the form of whey. Whey protein
supplements
utilize the concentrated protein, eliminating the lactose and milk fat
making
it a remarkable source of protein.
Whey is a complete protein, meaning it contains all essential amino acids, which are vital to your metabolism, and to making your body function properly for good health. Whey also boasts the highest concentrations of branched chain amino acids (BCAA's) found in nature. Branched chain amino acids are an important source of energy during exercise and play a key role in protein synthesis. Whey protein, when properly processed has the highest biological value of all proteins. Biological value relates to how much of the protein consumed is actually absorbed, retained and used by your body. More specifically, biological value is the measure used to rate protein quality through nitrogen retention. The higher the quality of protein, the more nitrogen is absorbed and retained by your body. Compared to all other protein sources, whey is the highest biologically active protein known to measurably enhance muscle recovery after extremely intense exercise. A high biological value means it may yield more usable grams of amino acids. It also contains the highest concentration of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) of any single protein source. BCAAs are essential amino acids that are part of muscle protein and help reduce the amount of protein breakdown during exercise. This BCAA content is important to active people because BCAAs are an integral part of muscle metabolism and are the first amino acids sacrificed during muscle protein breakdown. This makes whey protein a vital supplement for most conditioning programs. Whey protein is very important for athletes, dieters, elderly people, and just about everyone. Since athletes workout often, protein levels become depleted and the content from high quality whey protein promotes muscle recovery by bringing up the levels of protein. For dieters and those wishing to lose some extra fat, whey protein can be very useful because a good intake of protein balances blood sugar levels. Keeping blood sugar levels balanced is the most effective way to ward off binge eating. In a study published in June 2001, it was also suggested that the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for protein might not be adequate to completely meet the metabolic and physiological needs of all older people. Most people trying to change their body's lean muscle composition can benefit from adding protein to their diets. However, since protein is naturally found in many food items, deficiency is not always the problem. What is a problem, however, is that many protein-laden foods are associated with high levels of fat and cholesterol. Supplemental whey protein can ensure that your protein needs can be met in a healthy way. Creatine MonohydrateOnly $30 for 500 grams!Simply speaking, creatine
(phosphocreatine) increases muscle energy availability. The cells of
our body
store their energy in the form of a molecule known as Adenosine
TriPhosphate,
or ATP.
The amount of work our muscles can perform is a direct consequence of
the
amount of ATP they have stored as well as the ease with which ATP is
regenerated with the help of PCr during strenuous exercise. First and foremost creatine enhances
physical performance by increasing the number of times that ATP can be
recycled
during physical exertion without increasing the
absolute amount of ATP
stored within our muscles. In the short-term this means that creatine
supplementation should improve our ability to sustain near maximal
force generation
during repetitive bouts of intense exercise without actually increasing
the
amount of peak force we can produce. Later on, however, given that the appropriate metabolic circumstances had been correctly established,
this improvement in exercise output should then translate into an
increase in
maximal force generation through the production of new muscle tissue. For best results it is suggested that you
use a loading phase and then a maintenance phase as follows:
Creatine
Loading and
Maintenance
Load
for 7 days: 5gms
(1
tsp)
morning 5gms
(1
tsp)
Mid day 5gms
(1
tsp)
Before training Afternoon 5gms
(1
tsp)
Evening 5gms
(1
tsp)
prior to training 5gms
(1
tsp)
directly after training 5gms
(1
tsp)
Additional either morning or evening depending on training Take creatine with a dextrose or similar drink (rybena, grape) and increase fluid intake but not caffeine. Creatine supplementation combined with strength training has been shown to cause dramatic improvements in muscle hypertrophy (size) and strength through cell volumization and increased protein synthesis. Cell volumization is an increase in muscle volume (size) caused when water follows creatine into our muscles. Cell volumization can increase strength by increasing the amount of force a muscle can contract with. There is also research that indicates that cell volumization and creatine supplementation can signal muscle cells to grown and increase protein synthesis, while preventing protein breakdown. For
even better and faster muscle gains, combine creatine
with L-Glutamine and a Whey Protein concentrate. Only
$15 for 100 grams or $25 for 200 grams! Glutamine
in the most
abundant amino acid in muscle tissue and contributes up to 80% of the
free
nitrogen found in the body. Glutamine serves both
as a nitrogen and
carbon donor, so is important for muscle building as it helps replenish
muscle
glycogen after exercise. Glutamine users often report more
energy, less
fatigue and better moods and part of this relates to its role in
maintaining
proper blood glucose levels. Glutamine is also
significant in
maintaining a healthy gut (ie may help with IBS). Glutamine
has also been shown to be useful in
treatment of serious illnesses, injury, trauma, burns, and
treatment-related
side-effects of cancer as well as in wound healing for postoperative
patients. It is also known that glutamine has
various effects in
reducing healing time after operations. So,
not only is
L-Glutamine important for those people involved in weight training to
help prevent
catabolism, it is also important for regular folk, with all the
benefits it
provides without the side effects. Dosage - 3-5gms (1
teaspoon)
daily. Only
$50 for 100 grams!
