Unique advantages:
- Unreal amount of protein (93%).
- High amounts of BCAAs (27 g per 100 g of pure protein).
Effectiveness
This protein belongs to the category of high-protein (isolate) since it contains over 80% protein. Therefore, it can be used for the following purposes:
- For weight loss. In this case, part of the regular food is replaced with protein, which allows for an increase in daily protein intake while reducing fat and carbohydrates.
- Muscle mass growth. This is straightforward; muscles are made of protein (amino acids). If your diet contains enough carbohydrates but not enough protein (which is often the case), then protein will be quite beneficial.
- Simply as a source of amino acids, including essential ones: BCAAs and others.
Moreover, it should be noted that this protein is made from whey. This means it is quickly absorbed, which signifies a good amount of BCAAs, making it ideal for immediate post-workout intake.
How to Take
Here are the main rules for intake:
- Regardless of the number of workouts, it is best to take it every day.
- Take 1-2 times a day (depending on how much protein you are lacking from regular food). Once in the first half of the day, and the other in the second.
- It is better to take it immediately after training and/or between meals. But not simultaneously with the main meal.
- It is best to mix with milk. Water is also fine. The amount of liquid is a matter of taste and does not matter.
- You can add creatine, BCAAs, gainers, or pretty much anything you wish to the protein.
- For effectiveness, the duration of intake should be at least a month.
- The maximum duration of intake is unlimited. This means that you can use it for your entire life without breaks.
Dosage for 1 intake:
- For weight up to 60 kg: 25-30 grams at a time.
- For weight up to 80 kg: 30-40 grams at a time.
- For weight up to 100 kg: 40-50 grams at a time.
- For weight over 100 kg: 50-60 grams at a time.
Naturally, all dosages are quite approximate and depend largely on your overall activity level, number of workouts, number of protein intakes, and how much protein you consume from regular food, etc. You can calculate the exact portion here.
I recommend not focusing on the dosage indicated by the manufacturer, as manufacturers can specify very different dosages for approximately similar proteins. Typically, these are fairly reasonable figures (25 - 35 grams); however, some can go up to 100 grams.
