- Xtreme POWER WHEY ISOLATE™
Xtreme
POWER WHEY ISOLATE™ is manufactured using an advanced low temperature
cross flow microfiltration, ultrfiltration and diafiltration process.
This proprietary process ensures that all of the vital whey fractions
aree present intact. Xtreme POWER WHEY ISOLATE™ does not
use any ion-exchanged whey because ion exchanged whey does not contain
any "glycomacropeptides" --- a vital whey fraction.
Frequently
Asked Questions:
What is
Whey?
Next to water, protein is the most predominant substance in the human
body. Protein is required in the growth, maintenance and development
of all body tissues including muscles, blood, skin, hair, nails, and
internal organs (the heart and brain). In short, protein (whey) is essential
for life.
What is
Xtreme Power Whey?
Xtreme Power Whey is a whey protein that is isolated using a very gentle
microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and diafiltration process to remove
the unwanted components of whey (fat and lactose) and retain the vital
components (the protein including all of its whey fractions).
Xtreme Power Whey contains a generous amount of all the essential amino
acids. It is especially high in branched chain amino acids and the conditionally
essential amino acid L-glutamine.
How is
Xtreme Power Whey Different From Other Proteins?
Xtreme Power Whey is derived from a sweet dairy whey (many whey proteins
are derived from acid whey). This means that Xtreme Power Whey is a
non-denatured and complete whey protein supplement. Xtreme Power Whey's
special isolation process yields a complete whey fraction profile including:
beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin, glycomacropeptides, immunoglobulins,
lactoferrin, bovine serum albumin.
Does Xtreme
Power Whey include Glutamine?
Xtreme Power Whey has a very impressive amino acid profile. As far as
glutamine content, Power Whey contains a remarkable level of naturally
occurring glutamine. There is over 17 grams of glutamine per 100 grams
of protein in the isolate.
Does Xtreme
Power Whey include Glutamine Peptides?
Don't be fooled! "Glutamine Peptides" is not glutamine. It
is hydrolyzed wheat protein. What's the difference? Well for starters,
hydrolyzed wheat protein only contains 30% glutamine as part of its
amino acid profile. Some companies add a small amount of hydrolyzed
wheat protein and combine it with naturally occurring glutamine in the
whey protein in an attempt to mislead you into believing that their
product contains a significant amount of added glutamine.
For example, in a 50 gram serving of whey protein there is about 8 grams
of naturally occuring glutamine. The company will then add 2 grams of
hydrolyzed wheat protein and make an implied claim that there is 10
grams of added glutamine in their product! If a product you are currently
using is marketed in this manner be skeptical. What else is this company
misleading you about? We avoid using hydrolyzed wheat protein (glutamine
peptides) in our products as it is a common allergen and a cheaper and
inferior source of protein and glutamine.
Isn't Whey
Just For Bodybuilders?
Absolutely not, although bodybuilders were the first to recognize the
incredible potent benefits of consuming whey, now whey has undoubtedly
become the #1 used protein supplement by people from all walks of life:
Whey For
Active Teens & Healthy Adults
Whey protein provides the body with a complete amino acid profile that
is easily digested and tolerated.
Whey For
Elderly Individuals
Whey protein can help prevent bone loss in elderly individuals keeping
them strong and healthy as the body ages.
Whey For
Expectant Mothers
Expectant mothers protein requirements are increased by as much as 30%
so whey protein is an ideal source to obtain the extra protein required.
Whey For
A Compromised Immune System
Whey protein enhances the body's immune system by raising gluathione
levels. Gluathione is a powerful anti-oxidant with the ability to help
the body reduce the risk of infections by improving the responsive ability
of the immune system.
In Short, Whey Protein Is For Eveyone!
Does Xtreme
Power Whey Contain Lactose?
Lactose is a milk sugar that causes bloating and stomach discomfort
in some individuals. Xtreme Power Whey is exceptionally low in lactose.
There is less than 2% lactose in the isolate. To put this in perspective,
a single serving of the isolate has less than 0.5 grams of lactose.
In comparison a 12oz glass of 2% milk has 21 grams of lactose.
How is
Xtreme Power Whey Sweetened?
Xtreme Power Whey is sweetened with a revolutionary new sweetener that
tastes like sugar but has zero calories. We avoided using any controversial
sweeteners like aspartame. Although sucralose (used in our product)
is over three times as expensive, it was chosen because we wanted the
best and safest choice for you!
Xtreme
Power Whey Isolate "All Natural" is also available for individuals
that do not want any artificial ingredients including sweeteners, colours,
or flavours!
How Much
Protein Should I Consume On A Daily Basis?
As a general rule your daily intake of protein should be at least one
gram for every kilogram of bodyweight. However, many studies have shown
that active individuals, strength athletes, and very active individuals
benefit from additional protein. Please consult below as a quick reference
of our recommendations.
