Food Ingredients highlights the power of nutritional whey protein

30 March 2010

Research from the Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care has supported the use of dairy proteins as the optimal vegetarian route to muscle protection and development across all demographic segments. 

Nutritional whey proteins outperformed casein protein when measured for their ability to stimulate whole body protein synthesis.  It was suggested that the high leucine content in the nutritional whey protein was responsible for these benefits due to its ability to initiate protein synthesis. 

A separate study from the Nutrition Research Journal reported that nutritional whey protein had a greater effect on muscle protein accrual than essential amino acids (EAA) alone.  While whey protein and EAA supplements both promote muscle growth and repair, this research provides evidence that it is not merely whey proteins high EAA composition that provides this beneficial effect. 

The studies provide evidence to confirm the nutritional power of our range of nutritional whey proteins.  The article highlights the importance Volac places on preserving the nutritional integrity of Volactive Nutritional Whey Proteins by using state-of-the-art processing methods that are gentle on the whey protein.
