Precision Protein Ready to Drink Information
Precision Protein offers 42 grams of whey protein isolatethe purest, most bioavailable protein known today. This product boasts an amino acid profile that is second to none, including over 25% composition of branched chain amino acids. A full one-third of muscle is comprised of BCAAs, yet they are the first amino acids to break down during exercise. This highlights the need for a protein source high in BCAAs for maximum muscle growth and recovery. Additionally, EAS uses state-of-the-art microfiltration techniques for extraction. As a result, this process yields an extremely clean protein that contains less than 1g of carbohydrates per serving, and is virtually void of fat.
High in protein microfractions
Reinforce muscle growth and recovery
High in Branched Chain Amino Acids
Serving Size: 1 bottle
Recommended Use:
Drink one bottle after workouts, or anytime, to meet protein requirements.
Q: What are the differences between ion-exchange and microfiltered whey protein isolate?
A: While both of these methods are highly effective for obtaining isolated whey protein, there are some key properties of each you should be aware of. Ion-exchange takes advantage of wheys specific electrical distribution to sort whey from the rest of the milk. As an analogy, this process is similar to a magnet picking up paper clips from a pile of office supplies. While ion-exchange is effective for whey protein extraction, at the same time it is possible that various beneficial components such as glycomacropeptides, immunoglobulins and other growth factors may be left behind in the process. Oftentimes manufacturers will add these components back in, but this is not always the case. In contrast, microfiltration is more like a colandera process that generally allows these microfractions to remain intact. In summary, both processes can yield a highly effective source of protein, just be aware that various sources can differ greatly.
Q: Does this product contain lactose?
A: Precision Protein Ready-to-Drink is more than 99% lactose free. This purity is possible due to the advanced protein extraction technology utilized in separating the whey protein from the unwanted components (lactose, sodium, cholesterol, and fat).
Q: What is a protein microfraction?
A: Microfractions are functional components of protein, and are especially abundant in pure whey protein products such as that found in Precision Protein. Among their many health benefits, microfractions may support immune function, and many provide growth factors for enhanced muscle growth.
Q: What are branched chain amino acids (BCAAs)? Why are they important?
A: The term branched chain amino acid (BCAA) actually refers to three different amino acids collectively: leucine, isoleucine, and valine. These amino acids are especially abundant in muscle tissue, as roughly one-third of muscle tissue consists of BCAAs. However, BCAAs catabolize (break down) at a faster rate than other amino acids during workouts. Therefore, BCAA replenishment is especially important to hard training athletes. Whey protein contains the highest concentration (20-25%) of BCAAs of any protein source, and thus is an excellent protein to consume after workouts.
Q: What does bioavailability or biological value (BV) mean in regards to protein?
A: These terms actually refer to the usefulness of a protein to the body. Bioavailability is a term used to describe the ease with which nutrients can be absorbed, and thus utilized by the body. Biological Value is a measure of protein quality, assessed by how well a given protein supports nitrogen retention in humans. The reasoning to this method is that protein is the only macronutrient that contains nitrogen. Therefore, higher nitrogen retention means greater protein retention. Whey protein is highly bioavailable, and boasts the highest biological value of any protein source. Therefore, a whey protein product such as Precision Protein may be an excellent choice for those looking for a protein product that can be readily used by the body to build mass.
