Whey protein supplementation is typically used to support muscle growth in fitness enthusiasts or athletes, as a meal replacement for those on a weight-loss diet, or as a supplemental protein source for vegetarians. Advanced whey protein is an excellent source of high-quality protein and offers additional immune-boosting benefits.
The best whey proteins currently available are made exclusively from whey protein isolates with the highest protein content. The hydrolyzed form of whey protein is gaining popularity because it is relatively easier to digest. Advanced Nature Whey contains alpha-lactalbumin-rich whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, and lactoferrin isolate.
The many and varied benefits of whey protein depend largely on its lactoferrin and alpha-lactalbumin content. Nature's Advanced Whey provides 20% alpha-lactalbumin as a protein, like any good whey protein, and up to 28% more lactoferrin than similar products on the market. Recent evidence suggests that lactoferrin suppresses inflammation and lowers cholesterol levels. It also has antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory properties.
Whey protein is an excellent addition to a lacto-vegetarian diet or any weight-loss plan. It is often used for weight loss, building and maintaining muscle mass, whether in the gym or for people with compromised or fragile immune systems.
Advanced Whey is designed to be as natural and healthy as possible. Its formula uses cross-flow microfiltration to minimize protein denaturation; it contains no sugar and uses minimal flow solvents. AOR whey contains protein isolate and high-protein concentrate (75%). Together, these two components give the product a high protein content, while the concentrate contains immune-boosting factors not found in the isolate.
