Whey Protein (Isolate) Natural - 1kg - Sisu

SISU Whey Protein Isolate

Protein is made up of amino acids, which form the basic building blocks of muscle tissue. This makes protein very important to athletes and others who are physically active, either professionally or recreationally. But protein is also vital to people at certain stages of life. For example, protein is very important during adolescence, when young bodies are growing quickly. It can also be critically important to older adults. Muscle tissue can diminish as we get older, and adequate protein can help keep us strong. Protein is also vital to anyone who wishes to lose weight, for a couple of reasons. First, because our bodies break down protein slowly, it provides us with a steady, long-lasting supply of energy so that we are less likely to consume snacks that can cause weight gain. Second, this slow rate of breakdown tends to prevent blood-sugar highs and lows-generally associated with high carbohydrate consumption-which trigger the insulin reaction and cause excess blood sugar to be converted to fat. Third, increasing muscle tissue elevates the body's metabolic rate. An increased metabolic rate burns more calories even when we are at rest. It also provides us with more energy to be active, which furthers goals of fitness and weight control. Whey protein can be a good source of protein; however, the protein content in ordinary whey protein can vary from 29 to 89 percent protein. Whey protein isolate is a purer and more concentrated form of whey protein, typically containing 90 percent or more protein and little fat or lactose.

How it Helps...

Support for Athletes
The branched chain amino acids in whey protein are particularly important to athletes because they are directly metabolized into muscle tissue and are used first during resistance exercise. One of the amino acids in whey protein, leucine, plays an important role in muscle growth.

Weight and Blood Sugar Control
Whey protein is also important to weight loss and blood-sugar control as it stimulates the release of hormones that suppress appetite. A diet that causes too many highs and lows in insulin and glucose stresses the insulin system and can lead to diabetes, which is strongly correlated with high cholesterol, hypertension, and heart disease. Whey protein has a naturally low Glycemic Index (GI). GI is a way of measuring the rate at which different foods are converted into blood glucose. The lower a food's GI, the less likely that it will trigger an insulin reaction. Insulin triggers the conversion of food into fat. Moreover, SISU Whey Protein is sweetened naturally with stevia. Stevia is a calorie-free sweetener that has a GI (Glycemic Index) of zero.This makes stevia an ideal sweetener for dieters, body builders, diabetics, and anyone else who wants a nutritious snack that will support blood-sugar stability and won't sacrifice taste.

Health Support For Young and Old
Whey protein isolate is a high-quality, low-fat, low-carbohydrate way to get body-building calories into teenagers and older people. It plays additional important roles in these age groups because it contains substances that: support production of serotonin, a hormone that wards off depression; reduce release of cortisol, a hormone that the body produces under stress and that can be damaging; support immune function by helping to eliminate toxins.

Support For Bone Health
Whey protein also supports bone density, another important function in teenagers and older people. It does this by activating osteoblasts, the cells that form bone, and increasing production of collagen, a connective tissue
