More facts about Wellness Code® Advanced Whey Protein Isolate
As we age, maintaining healthy muscle mass and immune system health becomes more important.1,2 Whey protein can help. Whey is packed with BCAAs, immunoglobins, and other health-promoting compounds that can help you build lean muscle mass3 and promote healthy immune function.4 Creatine promotes strength and exercise performance,5 while glutamine promotes energy, strength, exercise endurance, and recovery.6
Protein isolate (lower in carbs, lactose and fat)
Whey protein isolate is lower in carbohydrates, lactose and fat than whey protein concentrate. Wellness Code® Advanced Whey Protein Isolate has undergone a process called cross-flow microfiltration, which produces an isolate that is 90% protein 98% of it in the bioavailable undenatured form and retains all important subfractions in their natural ratios.
Creatine monohydrate
Creatine is predominantly present in your muscles, but it’s also present in your heart, brain and more. Tissues metabolize creatine and use it for energy storage, and creatine boosts levels of ATP in cellular mitochondria.7 Studies show that creatine helps build muscle and strength in explosive, short-duration activities like resistance exercise training.8-10 Creatine can also help maintain healthy muscle mass which declines with normal aging.1,11,12
L-glutamine
Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid abundant in your muscles. It also supports immune system health.13,14 Glutamine levels are reduced after prolonged and high-intensity exercise, which can in turn affect the immune system.15 Glutamine supplementation has beneficial effects on immune function after strenuous exercise.16
Glutamine also encourages recovery after intense exercise, increases glycogen fuel synthesis, and helps inhibit protein breakdown in muscle tissue.17-19 Glutamine can inhibit blood ammonia accumulation during prolonged exercise,20,21 a key factor in physical fatigue.22 Glutamine is also essential to gut integrity by helping to inhibit inflammatory factors.23,24
