Whey is a natural dairy protein containing vitamins, minerals, protein, lactose and traces of milk fat. Most commercial whey supplements are derived from cow's milk, which is comprised of 6.25% protein: 20% in the form of whey. Whey protein supplements utilize the concentrated protein, eliminating the lactose and milk fat. Whey is a complete protein, meaning it contains all essential amino acids, which are vital to your metabolism, and to making your body function properly for good health.
Proteins are the basic building blocks of life. Protein, and only protein, provides your body with the amino acids it needs to build, repair and rebuild muscles. Protein also provides the necessary components to keep your immune system healthy, make hormones, enzymes, skin, hair, nails, organs and blood. (Note the word protein comes from the Greek word "proteios" meaning of prime or of first importance.)
In order to achieve muscle growth while using protein powders you must "weight train" on a regular basis. A recommended workout for obtaining greater muscle definition is to exercise or train 3-4 days a week, rest prudently, avoid overtraining, and eat right. If you stick to this program, you may see results in as short a period of time as six weeks. Continuing this regimen for 48 weeks a year, for at least 3 or 4 years, will provide you the opportunity to attain the "big muscles" or improved muscular definition you are looking for.
No. While DESIGNER WHEY is derived from 100% whey protein, its formula is designed to produce even greater results. For instance, DESIGNER WHEY delivers a precise blend of three separate, partially pre-digested whey proteins that make up our Full Spectrum Whey Peptide Blend. Peptides have been proven in clinical science to be the body's preferred source of digestible nitrogen (26,27). DESIGNER WHEY is also glutamine enhanced, providing over 2 grams of moisture stable anticatabolic glutamine for every 2 scoop serving. In addition each serving contains ZinMag-6 a powerful blend of ingredients shown in clinical research to help increase performance, including improved strength, power, and recovery.
In a word- Results. The whey protein in DESIGNER WHEY Protein has produced bigger and better results than any other protein supplement in history. Not only is whey the easiest protein to absorb, it also lowers cholesterol and helps to build strong bones. DESIGNER WHEY is a complete protein containing all essential amino acids. And thanks to an advanced ultra-filtration technology, DESIGNER WHEY contains all the major fractions of whey as well as additional fractions with significant health benefits, including glycomacropeptides, which can aid dieters in curbing and controlling their cravings, and lactoferrin, which boosts the immune system.
APT™ - Full Spectrum Whey Peptides are DESIGNER WHEY's proprietary blend of a complete spectrum of very low, low, medium and high molecular weight whey peptides. These peptides make up the major and minor fractions of specially prepared whey protein.
Beta-Lactoglobulin (~55-60%) is the largest protein fraction of whey and rich in branched chain amino acids, necessary to fuel muscle growth.
Alpha-Lactalbumin (~15-25%) is a low molecular weight peptide that is easily digested allowing faster absorption and uptake into muscles.
Glycomacropeptides (~10-20%) stimulate the release of CCK, a hormone that signals the brain "you're full", helping to reduce your appetite.
Immunoglobulins (~1-2%), as the name implies, may help to bolster the immune system.
Bovine Serum Albumin peptides (~1-2.5%) are rich in the precursors necessary for the production of glutathione - the body's most important antioxidant. Research has shown whey protein increases glutathione levels in the body. (1)
Lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase and lysozyme (~1%) have antimicrobial properties.
Active Peptide Transport™ is DESIGNER WHEY's breakthrough formula in whey protein-peptide delivery. Active Peptide Transport is a new formulation that results in faster, more efficient absorption of whey peptides.
Fast protein absorption is important if you want to maximize your anabolic potential; significant scientific research has demonstrated that the faster a protein source is absorbed, the more protein synthesis is stimulated. (2,3) (Resulting in faster muscle growth!)
Active Peptide Transport was designed to do just this: provide faster and better protein-peptide absorption to stimulate protein synthesis and muscle growth.
All DESIGNER WHEY products are aspartame-free. Instead of aspartame, Designer Whey products use preferred non-nutritive sweeteners Acesulfame-K and/or Sucralose. Acesulfame-K or Sunett® brand sweetener is a calorie-free sweetener that includes intensive sweetening power (about 200 times sweeter than sugar), high purity and safety. Since it is not metabolized by the human body, it passes through the digestive system unchanged. For more in depth information on Acesulfame-K please visit www.sunett.com.
Sucralose is a non-nutritive sweetener, manufactured from regular table sugar (sucrose). Used as a low calorie sweetener and flavor enhancer, Sucralose is made from sucrose by a patented process that makes Sucralose extremely sweet, about 600 times sweeter than sugar, and extremely stable. Sucralose is so stable that, unlike other non-nutritive sweeteners such as aspartame, it will not break down or lose its sweetness when used in cooking or baking (see our recipe section for ideas on cooking or baking with DESIGNER WHEY!). Sucralose is also not metabolized (broken down) by the body's food-digesting enzymes. This means that Sucralose has no calories! For more information on Sucralose visit www.sucralose.com.
All DESIGNER WHEY products are 98-99% lactose free and suitable for most anyone with lactose intolerances.
Immediately does not mean instantly. However, drinking within 30 minutes of mixing is smart since pure protein in the liquid form is an extremely fertile environment for airborne bacteria growth. Leaving a protein drink (reconstituted from powder) in a refrigerator for two hours is probably okay, but not overnight.
DESIGNER WHEY Protein is the best protein supplement available to you. Three separate university studies have proven that DESIGNER WHEY increases lean muscle while decreasing body fat. On average, in university studies DESIGNER WHEY helped slash body fat an average of 3.7lbs and increased lean muscle mass an average of 8.6lbs when used in conjunction with a systematic workout program.
This will depend upon genetics, technique and your level of motivation and dedication. In addition to providing your body with high-quality protein like DESIGNER WHEY, you must participate in a systematic weight-training program on a regular basis. This is not to say you must work out if you use DESIGNER WHEY. DESIGNER WHEY is still a tasty and convenient protein supplement to add to your healthy diet, whether or not you exercise.
During exercise, your muscle glycogen and amino acid stores become depleted. After exercise, as a result of heightened insulin sensitivity and muscle cell receptor site stimulation, your muscles are primed to receive protein and carbohydrates.
It is important to consume DESIGNER WHEY with grape juice [or any high glycemic (sweet) carbohydrate] immediately (15 - 30 mins) after your workout. This is based on scientific research that demonstrates consuming high glycemic carbohydrates and protein simultaneously increases the rate of muscle glycogen (carbohydrate) synthesis and protein storage after exercise. (16) In other words, the post-workout carbohydrate/protein meal enhances glycogen re-synthesis and protein synthesis for faster recovery and improved muscle growth.
Yes, but please see a physician or other qualified health care practitioner first. Ask the doctor to review the ingredients and the supplement facts on the DESIGNER WHEY label.
DESIGNER WHEY™ has been tested in several clinical studies and is considered by many as the most researched protein available.
DESIGNER WHEY™ has been shown to help promote muscle growth and fat loss in carefully controlled settings.
In 3 separate university studies, athletes (both men & women) who supplemented their diet with DESIGNER WHEY™ gained on average 8.6 lbs of lean muscle and lost an average of 3.7 lbs. of body fat after 4 weeks of systematic exercise training.
In one double blind study, DESIGNER WHEY was compared head to head with regular whey protein. After just 28 days, subjects taking DESIGNER WHEY gained over three times more lean mass, while doubling their fat loss compared to the regular whey group. These results make it easy to see why DESIGNER WHEY has been #1 in protein since 1993.
DESIGNER WHEY has been proven an effective treatment for renal dialysis patients. After 3 months, patients individuals using DESIGNER WHEY improved their serum albumin levels (a health marker) 9%.
In a study conducted at Case Western Reserve University, laboratory animals fed a diet of DESIGNER WHEY™ had a reduction of cancerous tumors of the head and neck by 60% when used in conjunction with photodynamic therapy. Researchers are currently evaluating whether or not Designer Whey™ may offer similar benefits to human patients with cancer of the head and neck (24).
Further, we are continuously participating in university and medical research to examine the proper levels of protein intake and possible health benefits for health conscious individuals like you.
