Whey protein is a very high quality protein, which, along with casein, makes up the major proteins in milk. Whey contains all the essential amino acids and therefore scores very high on all methods used to rate protein quality. In fact, whey protein is superior to all other sources of protein when you consider how much of the nitrogen (protein is about 16% nitrogen) is retained in the body relative to the amount of nitrogen absorbed. A growing body of literature shows that appropriate use of whey protein can maximize muscle size and strength gains from resistance training in addition to having other health promoting effects.

The first type of whey in Whey Supreme® 2000 is whey hydrosolate. A hydrolysate is a protein in which long chains of amino acids have been broken up either into tiny groups of amino acids or freestanding amino acids. Taking proteins in a hydrolyzed state means that a lot of the work's already been done for you. As such, these types of proteins are assimilated much more quickly than other non-hydrolyzed types. During your post-workout period you'll want a fast-acting, easily digestible protein like a whey hydrosolate.

The second type of whey is a combination of micro and ultrafiltrated whey protein concentrate and whey protein isolate. These types of whey have been concentrated from various dairy sources. Whey protein isolate is the highest yield of protein currently available and has amino acids, including branched chain amino acids, which help them bond together better. Whey Supreme® 2000’s protein combination is extremely digestible. Because of its speedy digestion, the amino acids aid in rebuilding the body. Whey protein contains about 10% immunoglobulin proteins which helps support the body's immune system. Also it has the highest concentration (24- 25%) of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) of any protein source.

Because of their chemical properties, Whey Supreme® 2000 tablets are easiest to absorb into the muscles. A benefit of whey protein isolate is that it has the ability to enhance endogenous glutathione production, which is the body’s most powerful naturally occurring antioxidant. Whey protein isolate helps decrease the sensation of muscle soreness following an intense workout, and is also used to repair and build muscles.
