Grass Fed Whey Protein

The rate of recovery post exercise, is essential to achieving training goals. Whether it be recovery or achieving an improved physique, Whey protein is the most popular post recovery protein source because it has a high biological value. Whey is rapidly digested and absorbed, resulting in a fast increase of amino acid levels into the blood stream. The advantage of fast acting digestion, is immediate protein synthesis activation, resulting in muscle fibre’s immediate repair and growth.

Whey is a complete protein source rich in all essential amino acids, which is essential to build and repair muscle. 

 Whey has a high leucine content. Leucine plays a major role in protein synthesis and works most effectively in the context of a complete protein like whey. It stimulates the release of insulin, which has an anabolic effect on muscle protein synthesis. Insulin boosts the uptake of amino acids into muscle cells and activates signalling pathways that promote muscle repair and growth.

14% Higher L-Leucine

Native whey from raw sport is derived from fresh milk and not cheese. 85% of whey protein products on the market are derived from cheese. The milk origin results in a superior amino acid profile that delivers 14% more of the BCAA amino acid leucine than cheese derived whey protein.

 Leucine is the most important amino acid for muscle recovery and growth and is directly involved in muscle protein synthesis, which is the mechanism for repair and increased strength of muscles. 30 minutes after intense workouts, the rate of muscle protein synthesis increases by up to 300%. Increasing Leucine intake within 45 minutes of a workout will increase muscle gains and improve strength.

Leucine is most effective in the presence of additional amino acids and carbohydrates, which are present within raw sport’s grass fed whey. There are added benefits to Leucine. The metabolism of Leucine creates metabolite compounds that have benefits. One in particular, beta-hydroxy-beta-methyl butyrate protects the muscles from exercise related damage. 

Animals are like humans in the sense that what they consume governs their health. The natural diet for a cow is grass, however, the majority of the dairy industry uses less expensive grains to feed their livestock.

Whey from Grass fed cows is considered more natural and sustainable and reflects a more traditional and environmentally friendly farming practice. Additionally, grass fed cows are typically not treated with unnatural ingredients or routine antibiotics.

Grass fed whey protein is considered to have a superior nutrient profile compared to grain fed whey. Grass fed whey has increased levels of omega 3 essential fatty acids, conjugated linoleic acid and vitamin E.  

Looking to increase your protein intake as part of a healthy, balanced lifestyle? Raw sport whey concentrate has been created just for you.  Simply add one scoop to 300-400ml of water or milk and you have a fast-absorbing protein shake that can be made in under 2 minutes. Take within 45 minutes of exercise for best results.

Why not get creative and add to home-baked cookies, flapjacks and brownies. Incorporate into breakfast by mixing into porridge, cereal or pancakes. Enrich your smoothie with protein and add fresh fruit, nut butter or seeds.
