Whey protein isolate is protein at its best. It has been filtered to remove the majority of the lactose, fat and carbs, making it higher in protein, leaner, and faster digesting than standard whey protein. Its quick release of amino acids is ideal for supporting post-workout muscle growth and recovery. Signature Isolate is delicious and fits any clean-eating plan with just 1 gram of sugar, minimal lactose, and only 1 gram of fat.
HYDROLIZEDÂ WHEYÂ PROTEINÂ ISOLATE
Over half of the protein in Signature 100% Whey Protein Isolate is hydrolyzed. The peptides from hydrolyzed proteins are much easier for your body to digest than standard long-chain proteins or free amino acids. That means better absorption of these muscle-building aminos.
But amino acids that come in the form of a peptide — in other words, already broken down through the hydrolyzation process — bypass all that and can be absorbed intact. Once they’re absorbed, the body breaks them down further and releases a flood of amino acids. Research shows that hydrolyzed proteins are absorbed more efficiently than straight amino acids. In fact, scientists estimate that two-thirds of amino acid absorption occurs in the form of small peptides, with only one-third absorbed from free amino acids.
WHEYÂ PROTEINÂ ISOLATE
Why isn’t all the protein in this product hydrolyzed? It all came down to taste: Peptides are bitter! We pushed the envelope to provide as hydrolyzed whey protein isolate as possible, but the bottom line is that protein won’t work if you can’t bear to drink it.
