FAQs

Q: Do your whey products contain lactose?
A: Whey protein naturally contains lactose. Our whey protein concentrate contains approximately 4-6% lactose and our whey protein isolate contains approximately 1% or less lactose.

 

Q: What is hydrolyzed protein?
A: Hydrolysis is a chemical process where an enzyme is used to break the peptide bonds of a protein, resulting in smaller molecular derivatives called polypeptides and peptides. Enzymatic hydrolysis (predigested) improves digestibility and the intestinal absorption of proteins while reducing their allergenic potential. It is also an essential step for obtaining bioactive peptides contained in many food proteins. Unfortunately the hydrolysis process leaves you with an extremely bitter tasting product. For that reason it is only used in a combination blend with the other processes.

 

Q: Are Glutamic Acid and Glutamine the same thing?
A: Glutamic acid and glutamine are related but not the same. Glutamine is the peptide of the amino acid glutamic acid. Glutamate (glutamic acid) is converted in the liver to glutamine through the addition of ammonia. Therefore, glutamine is important in ammonia detoxification. Glutamine is also useful in the brain as a neurotransmitting substance.

 

Q: When and how can I use whey protein?
A: It's important to maintain a positive nitrogen balance throughout the day, so it's essential to spread your protein intake over the entire day. How much protein your body needs is best left for you to decide based on the results you are seeking, but here’s a general rule of thumb:
The minimum amount of protein most bodybuilders take in for building muscle is 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight (for instance, if you weigh 200 pounds then the minimum amount of protein you should take in is 200 grams of protein for muscle growth). Athletes who still train hard, but are not looking to build muscle mass sometimes try 0.5 (half) gram of protein per pound of body weight.
So when is the best time to take protein into your body? Well, as you know after a workout is one of the best time to get protein into the body so that the protein can be delivered to your muscles, to begin healing the “micro tears” (very small tears in the muscle tissue, caused by intense contraction of the muscle during workout) in the muscle.

Some bodybuilders also consider it vital to take protein before going to bed therefore providing muscles with protein, since your body will be slowly depleted of protein as you sleep. Breakfast is a key meal as well, because your body awaits nourishment after sleeping for 8-12 hours. One of the best tips we can offer though, is to eat consistently, day in and day out.
If you're eating 4-6 meals a day, make sure you divide your total daily protein intake between those meals. For example, let's say you weigh 200 pounds and you want to consume 200 grams of protein. If you eat five meals, then each meal should contain 40g of protein.
