SHOW ME THE WHEY
The Perfect Food
A Great Source of Energy
Natural Biology Product Description
If you need a product to skip an meal occassionally or to satisfy cravings when you're trying to cut back - or to use after you work out to feed your muscles - this is the product
Makes a great shake: Blend with ice and milk. Some of us at Natural Biology substitute milk with almond milk - now available at most grocery stores.
Whey protein powder is an excellent source of protein, even surpassing whole egg, soy, beef, casein or milk in its biological activity in the body and its ability to deposit nitrogen in the muscles. Whey is also a rich source of branched chain amino acids (BCAA), which make up 1/3 of the amino acids in muscle protein. Whey is the only protein source that contains immunoglobulins, which are essential in maintaining immune system function. Our Show Me the Whey® protein powder is a high quality protein supplement that is formulated to be a highly efficient, rich source of protein.
There are a lot of whey products on the market but this the quality control Natural Biology provides:
The Product
Provides 18 grams of protein per serving, with no lactose or fat.
Enhanced with 100 milligrams of L-glutamine and 300 milligrams of the branched chain amino acids, L-leucine, L-valine and L-isoleucine to further support the muscles.
Provides 10% of the daily value for calcium per serving from the powder alone!
Provides important proteins B-lactoglobulin, A-lactalbumin, immunoglobulin and lactoferrin.
Contains stevia, a natural sweetener which has been shown to have no affect on blood sugar levels.
Manufacturing Process
Microfiltered, which refers to the filtration process used to purify the whey.
Hydrolyzed, which refers to the cold spray drying process which results in making smaller, more refined particles, turning liquid into a powder – other companies use heat which denatures the protein bonds.
Ion-Exchange, which refers to whey being put through an ionic column and cold air resulting in increased biological value or utilization by the body.
Manufactured from cows not treated with rBGH.
Whey protein may improve heart health: Study By Stephen Daniells, 05-Aug-2009
A whey-protein-rich ingredient may improve blood vessel function in healthy individuals, reports a new randomised, double-blind study supported by Glanbia.
Two weeks of supplementation with a proprietary peptide (NOP847, Glanbia Nutritionals) resulted in a 1.5 per cent improvement in blood flow, report researchers from the University of Connecticut in the open access Nutrition Journal.
According to the researchers, the whey protein-derived ingredient, isolated from hydrolysate, may work via an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitory activity.
ACE inhibitors work by inhibiting the conversion of angiotensin I to the potent vasoconstrictor, angiotensin II, thereby improving blood flow and blood pressure.
“The results of this preliminary study suggest that in individuals with normal endothelial function, the acute ingestion of a peptide derived from whey improves both conduit and resistance vascular responses,” wrote the authors, led by Kevin Ballard.
If further studies support the vascular benefits of the ingredient, it could see it enter the already buoyant heart health market. According to a recent market research conducted by Frost & Sullivan, the market is dominated by four ingredients: phytosterols; omega-3s; beta-glucans and soy protein.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD), which cost €192 billion in health care costs across the 27-member state EU in 2007 according to the European Heart Network, can be sub-classified into categories such as hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, heart attack and stroke.
Study details
Ballard and his co-workers recruited 20 healthy men and women with an average age of 25, and an average BMI of 24.3 kg/m2, and randomly assigned them to receive the whey ingredient (five grams per day) or placebo for two weeks. After this time, the subjects underwent a two week washout period before being crossed over to the other intervention.
According to the study’s results, there was no difference between the groups’ flow-mediated dilation (FMD), a measure of a blood vessel's healthy ability to relax, at the start of the study. While placebo had no effect on FMD, supplementation with the whey ingredient was associated with a significant improvement in FMD for up to 90 minutes following ingestion or between 1.1 and 2.2 per cent.
Furthermore, blood flow in the arm improved by 2.7 per cent per minute following whey protein supplementation, but did not change following placebo, said the researchers.
“These findings indicate that supplementation with a novel whey-derived peptide in healthy individuals improves vascular function,” wrote Ballard and his co-workers.
Looking to the next stage in research, the scientists noted that an investigation into how the ingredient functions in people with vascular dysfunction would be “informative”.
