Why Whey? For Better Performance and Faster Recovery!

I am often asked "what protein powder should I use?" Personal preferences aside whey powder is certainly a great choice. Whey powder has the ability to reduce recovery time by stimulating muscle protein synthesis, provide amino acid building blocks, has anti-inflammatory effects (which I am ALWAYS looking for ways to reduce inflammation), boosts the immune system and reduces toxins. Wow, this stuff is pretty good! Taking it to the next level though occurs when using UNDENATURED Whey.


Undenatured Whey has all the benefits of denatured whey but with addition of raising the levels of glutathione in the body. Glutathione is the most powerful anti-oxidant known in the body. During training and exercise through oxidative processes cell-damaging free radicals are increasing in the body. Raising glutathione levels in the body can have the following effects:

• Reduce the free radicals that lead to muscle inflammation and damage
• Reduce muscle fatigue/delayed onset muscle soreness
• Decrease recovery time from training
• Increase strength and endurance
• Improve ability to endure exhaustive exercise
• Increase peak power and work capacity
• Shift metabolism from fat production to muscular development
• Maintain white blood cell counts that normally fall during intense training sessions
• Prevent over training symptoms
• Improve performance
• Increase resistance to illness
• Detoxify foreign substances

That is an impressive list to say the least and are the reasons I have been recommending Undenatured Whey to those who do not have a whey sensitivity. 


Here is a simple recipe to follow.
1 cup filtered water
1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
3/4 cup whole oats
Blend then add 1 scoop of Undenatured Whey and stir in until it is homogenized. Important: do not blend in Undenatured Whey with blender this will potentially denature the whey. 


Let me know how this works out and if there is anything I can add or answer for you.
