Why Whey? Benefits of Whey Protein
Whey: The Complete Protein
Isagenix uses the power of whey protein in its nutritional products – particularly IsaPro and IsaLean Pro. Here’s the skinny on whey protein and why it is good for you.
Milk is comprised of two proteins: casein and whey. Of the two, whey is considered a complete protein. It contains all nine of the essential amino acids, and it also has a low lactose content so is more easily digestible by a greater number of people.
Additional Benefits of Whey Protein
In addition to its high digestibility, whey protein also has several other important health benefits.
First, athletes as well as those looking to lose weight and tone up their bodies count on whey protein for its superior ability to build lean muscle mass and to fight fat. Nutritional supplementation with whey protein, combined with resistance exercise, has been proven to build more lean muscle mass and promote more gains in strength than casein protein.
Another benefit of whey protein is its ability to help you lose weight, specifically significant amounts of body fat when combined with regular resistance exercise.
Yet another way that whey protein benefits health lies in its ability to reduce high cholesterol, specifically LDL cholesterol in about 12 weeks.
Whey protein has been proven in medical studies to be effective in reducing high blood pressure and, in tandem, lowering the risk of stroke and heart disease for people with hypertension.
Children with asthma may also benefit from ingesting whey protein. This type of complex protein may improve the immune response in young asthmatic patients.
Whey Protein: A Key Component of Proper Nutrition
Whey protein has numerous health benefits, from its ability to promote the growth of lean muscle mass to reducing cholesterol. Isagenix uses whey protein in its nutritional products because of its superior ability to benefit health and promote healthy muscle mass.
An Isagenix lifestyle is all about proper nutrition and balance, and whey protein is an important part of a healthy life.
