WHEY PROTEIN is considered to be the most nutritionally complete protein available to athletes and bodybuilders. Easily absorbed and high in essential amino acids and branched chain amino acids which are lost during high intensity exercise.
The protein requirements of athletes is approximately 1.2 – 8g/kg body weight, compared with 0.8 – 0.9g/kg body weight for less active individuals. For heavy athletes this extra requirement is especially important. Muscle mass is increased by the rate of anabolism (growth), and decreased by the rate of catabolism (breakdown) during exercise.
