Whey Protein Isolate, or WPI as it is referred to, is perhaps the most valuable sport supplement used by athletes and bodybuilders and is essentail for muscle repair, growth and strength. Protein is a vital macronutrient in the diet and it provides a rich source of essential amino acids, the building blocks for producing all living cells and tissues within the body, including muscle. It is not possible to build or grow muscle without adequate protein in the diet.

Whilst foods such as chicken, lean red meats, fish, eggs and low fat dairy products are excellent sources of protein, it is difficult for bodbuilders and athletes to consume adequate protein to meet their dietary needs through food alone. The average daily protein requirement is approximately 0.8-1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight, however protein needs increase to up to 2 grams per kilogram of body weight for bodybuilders. Protein cannot be stored by the body and therefore must be consumed on a daily basis.

Whey Protein Isolate is derived form cow's milk. It contains minimal fat, lactose (sugars) and cholesterol. Whey protein isolate is the purest, best quality protein available. Whey Protein Isolate generally contains a pure protein content in excess of 87%, whilst whey protein concentrate (WPC) or protein powder blends that incorporate a mixture of WPI and WPC generally contain between 60-80% of protein. As the percentage of protein decreases, conversely the level of fat, lactose and cholesterol increases.

Whey protein isolate, originally an unwanted and disposed of product, is seperated during the process of creating cheese from milk. The major manufacturijng processes of Whey Protein Isolate are: ion exchange filtration, ultra/micro filtration, cross flow filtration and the creation of hydrolysed whey protein isolate.

Whey protein isolate is composed of short chain peptides, making it easy for the body to digest and absorb. Whey protein isolate can provide nutrients to the muscle and feed it the protein it requires in as little as 15 minutes. No other protein type provides a more superior biological value (BV) than whey protein isolate. This means that it provides the body with the largest usable amount of branch chain amino acids, an essential element for muscle building and repair.

Whey protein isolate, due to its superior absorption qualities, is the ideal post workout supplement, providing an immediate protein source to feed and fuel the muscles. Whey protein isolate contains very little fat, sugars and carbohydrates, and is ideal for people that are lactose intolerant and/or conscious of carbohydrate intake..
