Whey protein is often described as the ‘fast’ protein because it is absorbed, digested and metabolised in less time than protein from whole food and supplemental sources such as soy isolate, micellar casein and egg albumin.
This is why whey protein shakes and bars are so popular before and after training; they support rapid intra-muscular amino acid absorption, nourishing worked muscles to kick-start protein synthesis, recovery and growth.
Significant research has shown the benefits of consuming whey shakes and bars before and after training, to support the growth and maintenance of muscle mass. In addition to getting protein to muscles rapidly, whey also give weight trainers an excellent source of amino acids – including naturally high levels of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) and glutamine.
Because intense training burns these key amino acids, whey's a great supplement to effectively replenish muscles with the nutrients needed for maximum training results. Biologically active microfractions such as alpha-lactalbumin, beta-lactoglobulin, glycomacropeptides, immunoglobulins, lactoferrin and lactoperoxidase are also present, which contribute to muscle growth.
SCI-MX® whey protein is produced with the purest isolates, hydrolysates and concentrates which deliver the perfect balance of amino acids and protein microfractions. By only using premium whey our formulas are highly bioavailable – offering excellent support for post-training muscle repair. They're also easy to digest, meaning they can be consumed even if you suffer from common gastro intestinal problems. The naturally inherent qualities of whey protein have made it an essential part of the nutrition plan of serious gym users and athletes.
Muscle protein
When it comes to building muscle, you need to integrate as much quality whey protein as possible into your diet.
Protein comes in many different formats from several different sources, but whey protein has time and again been scientifically shown to have the most impact on building new muscle. The body’s ability to rapidly absorb this type of protein leads to it being an essential part of an optimum nutrition plan, and at SCI-MX, we have a number of pure whey protein powder products available to suit your lifestyle.
Build muscle with whey protein powder
Whey protein is a milk protein as opposed to being plant based, and is high in Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs). It also contains high levels of small proteins known as peptides, which increase blood flow to the body’s muscles – ideal for achieving extra milestones during a workout.
Whey protein powder can be ingested into the body at a rapid rate, meaning crucial amino acids reach your bloodstream much sooner. This then absorbs into muscle tissue, where protein synthesis then takes place. Blood flow is also stimulated at this point, which can enhance the intake of oxygen and glucose. Quality whey protein is naturally high in L-leucine, a powerful BCAA that is essential to protein synthesis. Products like our WHEY ISOLATE powder are perfect for body builders and athletes looking to build muscle, as it contains high levels of this BCAA along with added creatine and peptide bonded glutamine. Our ULTRA WHEY™ PROTEIN drink mix is particularly ideal for those looking to develop muscle, as it’s rapid action formula has been scientifically developed to grown and maintain mass.
To ensure all of our products meet optimum nutrition standards, we only use the finest quality cold filtered whey, carefully processed to prevent any damage to the natural structure of the protein. This means you can be sure you’re receiving the best quality nutrition to support muscle growth, repair and development with every serving, helping you to keep your focus square on your workout.
