Welcome to Heavy Athletics Nutrition

Description

Product Description: Without question, a specific variety of proteins, amino acids and specialty protein fractions is the best choice for creating the ultimate protein beverage for sports performance and health. Using whey protein concentrate, isolate, and hydrolysate for fast release; egg protein for medium release, and casein for slow release will absolutely fuel muscle the best way possible. Branched chained amino acids leucine, valine, and isoleucine along with glutamine should be supplemented and included due to their direct contribution to a healthier, leaner, more muscular physique. Colostrum and Lactoferrin are excellent immune and performance enhancers which should not be overlooked as well. Including all of these factors in a protein beverage provides the ultimate results in a scientifically proven formulation.

How to Use

How to Use: As a dietary supplement, take one (1) serving daily with water, juice or beverage of choice. Best if utilized:

1. As a meal supplement if more than 3 hours will lapse between any two meals
2. Before bed
3. Immediately after waking (if it will be more than an hour before breakfast)

Background

The importance of moderate to high protein diets and amino acids has shown remarkable results in terms of maintaining a lean, muscular physique: aiding in fat loss, satiety, exercise performance and muscle recovery. In addition, recently moderate/ high protein diets have shown to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, maintain optimal hormone levels, and optimize liver and kidney function along with a host of other benefits.

Understanding that protein is important is one thing, but knowing what type of protein and amino acids to ingest is equally or even more important factor to consider.

What type of protein is the best for muscle growth, recovery, endurance, optimal health and well-being? Many studies have proven whey protein to be the best form to quickly enhance plasma amino acid contentin the blood stream because of the fast digesting nature of whey. Other research has suggested that casein or other slower digesting proteins is optimal for staying anti-catabolic (less muscle wasting) throughout the day, something whey protein fails to provide.

The truth is that there is no one “best” source of protein for achieving health and fitness goals. In reality it is the combination of certain proteins that will yield optimal effects!

What You Need Know about Protein

There are a few important points to consider when learning the differences between these sources. Whey proteins are digested rapidly in the body, yielding a quick influx of amino acids into the blood stream. Digestion of whey can begin as quickly as .5 hours and typically enters into the blood stream at the one hour mark. It remains in the blood stream 3-4 hours thereafter for usage before levels fall. Of these amino acids, L-leucine, L-valine, and L-isoleucine are more concentrated, which we will learn is important for a variety of fitness related benefits.

However, all whey proteins aren’t digested and absorbed in the same manner. Whey isolates contain less fat and lactose than whey concentrate, and whey hydrolysates contain virtually no fat, carbs or other additives.


Casein and Egg protein have distinct characteristics to be taken advantage of. Egg protein is digested at a medium pace compared to whey and casein; yielding a digestion rate of 2-3 hours, where plasma amino acid content is achieve for up to 5-6 hours thereafter before taping off. Casein protein is the slowest digesting protein as it forms a gel in the stomach where it results in an amino acid “trickle” into the blood stream. Although Casein enters the blood stream at a similar time frame as whey, the level of amino acids in the blood is much lower. However, those levels are maintained for up to 8 hours before falling. Research has shown casein to be effective at maintaining a positive nitrogen balance in the blood stream better than any other source of protein out there- essential for staying anabolic. Casein is especially high in glutamine precursors, helping to speed recovery.

Not for use as part of a weight loss program without the direct supervision of a health care professional. Excessive protein intake may result in impaired kidney function.

Description

Product Description: Ultimate Whey is a source of protein derived exclusively from Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) and provides one of the highest percentages of protein per serving, minimal carbohydrates and no fat. In addition, the product is Lactose-free, very low in sodium and no cholesterol.

Common to many whey products, Whey Protein Isolate is produced by removing Sweet Whey from cheese curd, then subjected to methods that remove the remaining cheese "fines", pasteurized, and the fat content is removed by centrifugal separation. Following this pretreatment, the fluid raw material may then be processed into Whey Protein Isolate using one of two methods: Ion Exchange (IE), which is followed by concentration and spray drying, is a process very similar to that used for the production of "soft" water. Microfiltration followed by Ultrafiltration (MF/UF), and is then spray dried, incorporates a pressure driven membrane filtration which is comprised of two "molecular sieves". This process removes differing components in various steps and is then concentrated to achieve the desired product. The two methods differ in production in the composition of the proteins found in the respective forms of Whey Protein Isolate. However, when compared to the MF/UF method, the IE method results in the loss of significant certain protein fractions. For this reason, Vitalabs™ Whey-26 uses Whey Protein Isolate produced only by MF/UF methods. WPI offers an effective means of supplementing the diet with a source of protein that has an excellent Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER) and Biological Value (BV) available. And, due to the natural bland taste of WPI, it offers a very good tasting, versatile form of protein that may be used to create an endless number of protein shakes and smoothies.

Each 30 gram serving of HAN Ultimate Whey provides 26 grams of Protein, only 1 gram of Carbohydrates, No Lactose, No Fat and No Cholesterol. HAN Ultimate Whey is available in two great tasting flavors, Vanilla & Chocolate, with some new exciting flavors in the works. HAN Ultimate Whey is naturally sweetened with Stevia and uses flavor systems guaranteed to be free of MSG and other Exitotoxins.

How to Use

How to Use: Take one (1) to two (2) scoops daily to supplement the diet with additional protein. For best results, mix with a beverage high in carbohydrates and take between meals or before or after training. Do not use this product as a meal replacement without the supervision of a health care professional.
