one most absorbable forms of protein and MET-Rx Supreme Whey is used

Why protein is essential
Weight trainers know that protein is
essential for anyone wanting to build lean muscle, strength and
optimise recovery.
Protein is one of the most
important nutrients for health, growth and well-being, especially
when training. Even people trying to lose excess fat know the
benefits of following a high protein, low carb diet.
No milk required
While some brands require you to top up the calories or improve
the taste by adding milk, MET-Rx recognises that some people find it
hard to digest milk. Supreme Whey is one of the only protein drinks
that is designed to be mixed with water and taste great. For those
that feel casein in milk is a benefit at bedtime, Supreme Whey also
mixes easily with milk for slower digestion.
Great tasting whey protein
Supreme Whey is a great tasting blend of microfiltered whey protein
isolate and ultrafiltered whey protein concentrate. Whey protein has
one of the highest biological values of any protein source due to
its excellent amino acid profile, solubility and digestibility. A
high biological value means that it may yield more usable grams of
amino acid.
High concentration of BCAAs
The very high concentration of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs)
found in whey protein is of special importance to body builders and
power athletes. BCAAs L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-valine make up
about one third of the total protein content of human muscle tissue.
Why Whey Protein?
Whey protein leads to 119% greater increase in protein synthesis
than the cheaper milk proteins found in many protein powders [1].
Additionally researchers discovered that Whey protein stops cortisol
(Muscle wasting hormone) dead in its tracks [2]. Australian
Scientists have also confirmed that Whey protein is far superior to
casein (milk protein) for muscle growth [3]. Subjects were given
either Whey or casein as they took part in a weight training program
for ten weeks. Results showed that the Whey was more effective at
increasing muscle mass.
Subjects using Whey gained over 10 pounds of muscle, while those
using casein gained only 2 pounds. Those using Whey also gained more
strength, although both proteins seemed to prevent the typical drop
in plasma glutamine levels that occurs with exercise.
If you are going to take a Whey Protein Shake then in very simple
terms you cannot buy better than Met-rx - Premium Quality Sports

Protein Powder
Often though people who are searching for Whey Protein would be
better taking a time released protein shake so that the body takes its
nutrition - muscle building & recovery over an extended period rather
than all in one go - in this respect we would recommend either EXTREME
PROTEIN or CNP PRO PEPTIDE

Whey Protein - a lot of scientific studies have been done on the
benefits of Whey Protein Supplementation including:
December 2001 - Consuming Protein Supplements Can Help Deter the
Effects of Overtraining!
Protein intake of approx. 0.88 grams per pound of body weight resulted
in increased prevention of overtraining. This study was conducted at
Ball State University on 17 weight-trained men. They were put on a four
week "overtraining" program were they did 8-12 rep maxes for three sets,
eight exercises for the first two weeks, then five sets, five exercises
for 3-5 rep maxes for the next two weeks. The men were chosen to receive
either an amino acid supplement or a placebo for the duration of the
four weeks (0.88 grams/lb body weight/day). Those that were given the
amino acids had measureable positive changes in total testosterone, the
ratio of testosterone to the protein that transports it, and hemoglobin
compared to those given a placebo. This proves that adequate protein
consumption is the key to making gains! Be sure to get enough (approx.
1gram per lb. of body weight).
December 2001 - Protein Taken With Carbs is Better than Protein Alone
for Building Muscle!
This study, conducted at University of Texas Medical Branch, measured
the amount of uptake of the amino acid L-phenylalanine into healthy leg
muscle tissue in one of three protein shakes. The shakes were consumed
one and two hours after intense leg training and provided about 6 grams
of protein, 34 grams of carbs, or both per shake for a 150 bodybuilder.
The L-phenylalanine uptake in the protein and carb shake was measured as
being three times higher than the carb shake and roughly twice as great
as the amino shake! So, there you have it! As you know, the post workout
shake is the most critical meal for your increased anabolism
twice.
