New Zealand Biosciences™ Proprietary Whey Protein Blend (NZ Whey Protein Concentrate, L-Glutamine, Glycine and Taurine) is sourced from New Zealand, known for its very high standards in dairy processing.
Guaranteed 100% pure (hormone-free), this high biological value whey protein concentrate contains a rich array of essential and non-essential amino acids. Whey protein is considered the best protein option for serious athletes. Research suggests it supports healthy body composition, lean muscle mass retention, glucose metabolism, satiety, and gastrointestinal health. Its role in maintaining blood pressure and blood lipid levels within normal ranges is also noteworthy. As a rich source of sulfur-containing amino acids (cysteine and methionine), whey protein may enhance immune function through its intracellular conversion to glutathione.
Whey protein also provides high levels of naturally occurring bioactive immunoglobulins that resist gastrointestinal digestion. Whey immunoglobulins have been shown to support intestinal immunity and a healthy response to inflammation. Additionally, whey protein has been shown to be less allergenic than casein.
Each serving of FIT Food Lean Whey contains 21g of high-quality whey protein, 3-3.5g of fat, including 0.5g of medium-chain triglycerides, and 13-16g of carbohydrates, including 8g of fiber. This composition promotes a healthy balance between macronutrients and fiber. Foods high in fiber tend to slow the absorption of glucose into the blood. In addition, fiber and protein tend to increase feelings of fullness.
