Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) is made up of a combination of proteins and a chain of amino acids extracted from whey or lactoserum'. A new high-tech process, Cross Flow Microfiltration, enables an isolate to be extracted from whey which contains over 90% protein, 99% of which is completely undenatured. All the important sub-fractions are retained in their natural ratios while fat and lactose are almost eliminated. This slow, gentle, natural, non-chemical filtration technique protects the integrity and biological action of the proteins. Our WPI is virtually free of carbohydrates (0.45g per 20g) and fat (0.9g per 20g), and also contains an exceptional, unique percentage of lactoferrin (392mg per 20g WPI) and glycomacropeptides (3.5g per 20g).
Most commercially-available whey proteins no longer contain lactoferrin because of the extraction processes employed. Lactoferrin is a powerful antioxidant which also has outstanding immuno-stimulant, anti-viral and anti-microbial properties. The lactoferrin content alone would be reason enough to take our Whey Protein Isolate. But studies conducted on whey protein have also shown that it increases protein synthesis in muscles and helps build muscle mass, activates anabolic metabolism at a cellular level, stimulates the immune system, inhibits cancerous proliferation, increases efficacy of chemotherapy, protects against free radical damage as well as against cachexia in patients suffering from HIV or cancer.
Among its many confirmed uses are:
- Prevention of macular degeneration and cataract
- As an adjunct treatment for AIDS
- Anti-viral and anti-bacterial action (helicobacter pylori and salmonella)
- Prevention and even regression of certain cancers through inhibition of hydrazines and other anti-cancer agents
- Inhibition of growth of breast and colon cancer
At a metabolic level, its benefits include:
- Antioxidant properties (lactoferrin and lactoperoxidaze)
- Increased glutathione levels (fights after-effects of hepatitis C)
- Activating osteoblasts and slowing down osteoporosis
In summary, our WPI is an essential concentrate of vital elements - without doubt one of the most reliable anti-ageing' formulations you can take.
