Protein should be consumed every 3 to 4 hours to maintain nitrogen balance in the muscles tissue, otherwise you may be loosing muscle mass. Take it within 30 minutes after a workout. This is when your body starts repairing your muscles and needs the protein.

Whey protein isolate (WPI) is the most pure and concentrated form of whey protein available. It contains 90% protein and very little (if any) fat and lactose. Whey protein concentrate (WPC) has around 70% protein, and higher fat & lactose levels. As the protein level in whey protein concentrate decreases the amounts of fat and/or lactose usually increase.

WPI is a superior product to WPC in many ways, including taste and palatability. WPI mixes into liquid better, so is the better choice for shakes.

Pure whey protein does not contain any gluten or wheat products. It is made entirely from dairy produce.

Lactose Intolerance is the term used for people who cannot easily digest dairy products. Try Proteins Factory's WPI products and see how it works for you! Start with a small serving and work your way up to bigger servings if you are worried about getting an upset stomach

"Protein is an essential for life and is needed by everyone on a daily basis. During digestion, proteins are broken down into smaller units called amino acids. There are 20 different amino acids, consisting of 9 essential amino acids and 11 non-essential amino acids. The body cannot produce any of the essential amino acids, so these need to be supplied by the diet.

If you are regularly participating in strenuous strength, speed or endurance exercise, then your protein needs may be greater than those recommended for sedentary individuals. Strength conditioning experts encourage increasing your daily protein intake to 2 g/kg of body mass. It is critical that the protein consumed contains high concentrations of the 9 essential amino acids. So for a 75 Kg person, they should aim for 150 gms of protein per day.

Protein Factory WPC & WPI products both contain high quality proteins produced from Australian dairy products."
