LEGION Whey+ 100% Whey Protein Isolate, Naturally Sweetened, Chocolate, 2.1lb
Product Description
Whey protein is a staple in most athletes' diets for a good reason: it's digested quickly, absorbed efficiently, and easy on the tastebuds.
It's especially popular with athletes and bodybuilders because of its amino profile, which is high in leucine. Leucine is an essential amino acid that plays a key role in initiating protein synthesis.
WHEY+ is 100% whey isolate protein.
Protein powders often highlight the fact that they contain whey isolate, implying that they're a 100% isolate product, but they're not. Many are actually a blend of whey isolate and cheaper forms of protein, such as whey concentrate, casein, or other milk proteins.
WHEY+ contains 4 grams of added leucine in every serving.
As you know, leucine is the essential amino acid primarily responsible for activating protein synthesis. Research has shown that adding additional leucine to a post-workout meal of whey and carbohydrate can help further stimulate muscle growth.
WHEY+ tastes great, and is naturally sweetened and flavored.
While artificial sweeteners may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of these chemicals may indeed be harmful to our health, and that more research is needed.
WHEY+ contains no monosodium glutamate (MSG).
Yet another chemical often found in commercial whey proteins is MSG, which is used to hide the natural bitter flavor of whey.
The safety of MSG is the subject of ongoing scientific discussion, but research has shown that some people experience uncomfortable symptoms upon eating it, and that it can be neuroactive in the brain when consumed in high dosages.
Due to the potential risks and unknowns, it has been left out of WHEY+.
WHEY+ is just clean, undenatured whey protein isolate enhanced by additional leucine to further stimulate protein synthesis, and made with a light, delicious, natural flavor.
