Way more benefits of whey protein
BY JULIE SEAMERWEDNESDAY, MAY 30, 2007
New research supports the evidence that whey protein and amino-acid rich products provide real benefits for those seeking muscle growth, fat loss and high-quality nutrition.
These studies have shown that there are many bioactive components derived from whey that offer specific health benefits. The capacity of these compounds to modulate adiposity (activation of fat under the skin and surrounding organs that provides energy), enhance immune function and promote anti-oxidant activity presents new applications suited to the needs of individuals with active lifestyles.
As strenuous exercise is a form of metabolic stress, the response to this stress can be positive: the accretion of more muscle and improved functionality or greater strength. The response to this stress can be compromised if immune function or general health is challenged. However from a mechanistic standpoint, whey proteins, amino acids and their composites may extend the overall benefits of physical activity because they appear to neutralise this stress.
This means that whey protein supplementation and exercise are a mighty combination! And because exercise increases protein demands, supplementing your diet with whey protein will help meet requirements for energy expenditure and muscle rebuilding. Consuming a 20g serving of whey protein 3 times daily as a snack before or after exercise, in combination with protein rich meals, can be of great benefit.
For a convenient way of achieving a minimum 20g of protein per serve, check out the Aussie Bodies range of amino-acid rich products: Xtreme Muscle Gainer, Mega Weight Gainer, Time Release, WPI, Perfect Protein, Perfect Protein + Glucosamine, Perfect Protein Natural, Protein FX (providing a balance of protein and carbohydrates) and HPLC Bar (delivering an unbeatable 45g of protein per bar).
