Types of Whey Protein 

Whey protein comes in several forms, each with its distinct features. The most common types include Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC) and Whey Protein Isolate (WPI), alongside others like Casein and Whey Powder. WPC retains more of the beneficial nutrients found in whey but has a lower protein percentage and higher fat and lactose levels. On the flip side, WPI boasts a higher protein content, with most of the fat and lactose removed, making it a preferred choice for those on a stricter dietary regimen.

WPC vs WPI

Digging deeper, the contrast between WPC and WPI lies in their composition and how our bodies process them. WPC, with its higher fat and lactose content, provides a creamier texture and more robust flavor. WPI, being more refined, offers a quicker absorption rate, making it ideal post-workout. Our brand’s whey blend masterfully combines the strengths of both, delivering a balanced, nutrient-rich protein that caters to a wide range of dietary needs.

Introduction to Digezyme

Enhancing our unique blend is Digezyme, a multi-enzyme complex comprising amylase, protease, lipase, cellulase, and lactase, is engineered to optimize the breakdown and absorption of nutrients. By facilitating the digestion of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and lactose, Digezyme not only improves gut health but also enhances nutrient uptake, energy levels, and overall well-being . The inclusion of Digezyme in our formula means that you’re not just getting the protein your body needs; you’re ensuring it’s efficiently utilized, minimizing discomfort often associated with protein supplementation.

Casein, Whey Powder

Our protein blend’s magic doesn't end there. By integrating Casein and Whey Powder, we’ve achieved a consistency that mimics the creaminess of milk when mixed with water, without relying heavily on gums and thickeners. This innovation not only enhances the shake's flavor and texture but also caters to those seeking a more natural taste in their protein supplements.
