Protein Isolate 1.5 Kg

Protein consumption increases muscle protein synthesis and supplies energy during exercise. It also provides amino acids for muscle building and precursors for the synthesis of hormones and other important compounds for exercise¹.

Our ISOLATE contains whey protein isolate from the milk of cows bred in the European Union, fat-free cocoa, cocoa extract standardised to contain catechins with high antioxidant potency and stevia, a natural sweetener that offers a pleasant taste without adding calories. This protein shake is designed for athletes who want to increase their muscle mass, build strength and improve recovery after exercise.

Whey protein isolate is obtained by filtering the components of whey protein, to produce a product with greater highly bioavailable protein purity and with less lactose. Whey protein isolate is rich in branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine². These amino acids promote protein synthesis in muscle, reduce oxidation of proteins and have antioxidant effects.

It has been found that consuming leucine together with other amino acids or proteins promotes increased muscle mass and resistance, more so than consuming leucine alone, suggesting that the efficacy of leucine depends on the presence of other amino acids³. It has also been discovered that ingesting whey protein immediately before or after exercise increases protein synthesis rates⁴.

Along with whey protein, our ISOLATE contains fat-free cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.), which naturally provides a delicious taste without the need to add colorants or flavourings, and catechin-rich cocoa extract. These molecules are a type of flavonoid that have heart-healthy and antioxidant properties⁵. An increase in “good” cholesterol (HDL) has been observed, as well as a reduction in blood pressure associated with consuming flavonoid-rich cocoa⁶.

Finally, consuming cocoa protein shakes is associated with improved recovery after exercise. A study on the efficacy of these shakes in reducing muscle damage after exercise found that muscle soreness was reduced in individuals who had consumed the shake after physical exercise⁷.
