Whey Protein

Though protein powders can be made from a wide variety of different sources, whey isolate is the most common basis for protein powders and supplements. Whey itself is a protein-rich byproduct of cheese production, derived from milk. It's then powdered and flavoured, allowing the supplementation of diet with protein shakes. Some powders will also include other added benefits in the mix — Vitamins, BCAA'S + EAA'S and Probiotics are all common, as they can assist with post-workout nutrition, overall vitality and muscle repair.

There are three primary reasons for using whey isolate protein powder — building muscle, losing weight and supplementing diet. As you might expect, these reasons are often overlapping and rarely occur in isolation from one another. However, not all protein powder is equally well-formulated. That's why OxyWhey Lean Wellness Protein and ISOPEPT Hydrolysed Whey Protein stand out above the rest!

Protein shakes are a valuable source of nutrition to supplement the protein reserves in your body. If you’re looking to push yourself harder and boost the speed at which your muscles develop, utilising whey protein concentrate or whey protein isolate in powdered form can be a great way to give you an edge.

When you’re looking at protein powders geared for building muscle, choose those with a dose of protein between 25-30g per serve. It can also be helpful if they feature additional ingredients to aid with energy and recovery, and it’s always best to avoid protein powders that are high in sugar. 

Fortunately, OxyWhey Lean Wellness Protein and ISOEPEPT Hydrolysed Whey Protein have you covered with 25g and 27g of protein respectively and zero added sugar! They are also both jam packed with vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids to help you build muscle and to aid recovery.

One of the notable benefits of protein shakes is that they’re able to meet a variety of your nutritional needs without requiring you to increase your food intake drastically. Diet whey protein powder is geared at helping you replace some of your regular meals with shakes instead so that you can feel full and still get the necessary nutrients.

However, there are a few key points to consider before purchasing protein powder. Your protein intake should be 20-25g per serve, and the carbohydrate content should be less than 5g. This will help cut out needless calories and maximise the weight loss benefits.

It’s also important to remember that protein powder isn’t a magic bullet for weight loss. In addition to using protein powder, it’s also essential to eat healthily and exercise regularly in order to achieve sustainable weight loss. However, whey protein powder can be a great way to supplement this process, either by providing the occasional healthy sweet treat or simply by serving as a convenient on-the-go, nutritious snack.

OxyWhey Lean Wellness Protein contains Chromium picolinate. It has been added due to its effect on food intake regulation, and may assist with appetite control along with helping to curb sweet cravings.

No matter your initial purpose for utilising whey protein, it can serve as a great stepping stone to forming better habits around your health, nutrition, exercise and more. Many people struggle with staying motivated when they’re first undertaking a health journey — new habits aren’t formed overnight.

Using a whey protein shake or utilising whey protein powder in your cooking can be an excellent means to give you a push in the right direction or help keep you on track during difficult times. When it comes to using protein powders as part of your health and wellbeing program, everyone’s needs are different.

The type of protein powder you’re looking for will vary slightly depending on your particular needs and goals. Low-sugar options are always recommended, but if you’re not exercising regularly, you may be better off opting for a lower-carb option too. Protein powders are often quite energy-dense and can end up causing unwanted weight gain if not utilised properly.
