Arc Of Life Chiropractic - Chiropractor In Redondo Beach, CA USA :: Protein...Why yours may not be good enough...

Posted on 2012-02-22 08:57:24

So you started working out and you're paying attention to your nutrition, realizing how important it is in your health. You have been advised to start using protein drinks to supplement your diet. You may even know that whey protein is the best, good for you! But what's the difference between all of the products out there? Here are some things you should know.

I want to tell you why our protein is far superior to any other and why you'll never find a comparable food on the shelves of GNC, Lindberg Nutrition, Whole Foods or any other retail outlet. It just doesn't exist! I am very into this so I've detailed many things here. Bottom line...Isagenix protein ROCKS!

Why does it rock? Well it is grade 7, pure whey protein from our proprietary farms in New Zealand. Those of you who know me know I am from Montana. Now, I consider Montana the last frontier in the U.S. from population and industrialization and certainly New Zealand is the last frontier when it comes to finding healthy organic farming and ranching practices.

Here are some of the criteria for the best protein in the world:

1) All-natural, grass fed cows' whey, NOT pesticide-treated, grain-fed cows' whey

Compared to grain-fed cows, grass fed cows produce whey that:

Is nutritionally superior to grain fed

Contains an impressive amino acid and immuno-supportive nutrient profile

Is rich in healthy fats--lipolic acid and CLA (conjugated linoleic acid)

2) Hormone-free Cows, NOT hormonally-treated cows

Happy Cows, raised in New Zealand on fields not sprayed with any pesticides, no hormones ever, and milked in cycles when they're ready to be milked...hence - Happy Cows = Healthy Cows!

Many American dairy farmers inject the hormone rBGH in dairy cows to increase milk production. This hormone has been linked to serious disease and illness, including cancer. Choose whey made from hormone-free cows.

3) Cold processed, NOT heat processed

Most whey is heat processed which:

Makes the whey acidic and nutritionally deficient

Damages the immuno-supportive micronutrients and amino acids

Makes whey inadequate for consumption

Cold processed whey protects the nutrients in their natural state.

4) Acid-free processing, NOT Acid / Ion Exchange Processing

Acid / Ion Exchange Processing is cheaper than acid-free processing, but it denatures the amino acid profiles by using acids and chemicals to separate the whey from the fats.

5) Whey protein concentrate, NOT protein isolates

Protein isolates are proteins stripped away from their nutritional cofactors. There are three problems with that...

All isolates are exposed to acid processing.

Your body cannot assimilate proteins in isolated form.

Due to over-processing, isolates are deficient in key amino acids and nutritional cofactors.

6) Sweetened naturally, NOT artificially, and low carb

Most whey products are artificially sweetened making them useless if you have sugar sensitivities, or just don't want to put artificial sweeteners or flavors into your body.

Your whey should be low glycemic, low carb and should not contain any artificial sweeteners, sugar alcohol, glycerin, fructose, sugar or gluten.

7) Maximum biological value, NOT compromised or damaged

Most whey proteins provide some benefit. But, due to the ingredients, the source of the whey, the concentration of beneficial nutrients, or the type of processing, many whey products simply don't deliver what they promise.

You want whey that's guaranteed to retain its maximum biological value -- one with all the key amino acids, cofactors and beneficial micronutrients present and intact rather than compromised or damaged, and not missing any amino acids or essential nutrients.

8) Easy to Digest, NOT Causing Digestive Stress

Many whey products contain long-chain fatty acids which are hard to digest and require bile acids to absorb.

You want a whey protein powder with medium chain triglycerides (MCT). These are easily absorbed, digested quickly, and utilized as energy without causing digestive stress.

9) Enzymes!

Enzymes are catylists for our body to deliver nutrients throughout. Think of them as little taxies in our system that pick up the nutrients an drive them through the blood stream until they reach their destination, like a muscle for example.

Enzymes are very important for proper utilization of the protiens by our body. We have a world wide patent on freeze dried enzymes so our shakes become alive when mixed with water and these enzymes create a delivery system that no other product on the market can.

If you haven't used our products...it's time.

Your health is worth it!
