Should I Be Taking Protein Powder?
Getting enough protein in your diet is essential for athletes because it aids in building muscle, repairing tissue, and is a building block of healthy bones. One way to get enough protein in your diet is through a protein powder. Vital Performance™ Protein can be used anytime to support improved recovery, stimulate muscle protein synthesis and promote healthy bones, joints and tendons.**
What Is Protein Isolate?
Milk protein isolate has been isolated from whole milk, while whey isolate is sourced from whey alone. Milk protein isolate is the substance obtained by the partial removal of sufficient non-protein constituents (lactose and minerals) from skim milk so that the finished dry product contains 90% or more protein by weight. Using lactose-free milk protein isolate allows consumers, including those who are lactose-intolerant, to benefit from a high-quality, complete protein.
