A high protein, high carbohydrate formula designed specifically for athletes with increased energy demands.

Featuring a triple protein blend of premium whey protein concentrate and isolate plus casein, the High Protein, High Carb formula aids muscle repair and growth when exercise demands are high. Fast-acting carbohydrate waxy maize starch delivers energy when it is needed, plus high dose amino acids for elite athletes who require a formula to support elevated nutritional needs.

Whey protein has rapid absorption and is generally used around the time of exercise, facilitating protein uptake and usage by muscle tissue. WPC is 80% protein and contains lactose and 5% fat. Whereas, WPI is 90% protein and has minimal lactose and fat.

WPC generally takes a little longer to digest and absorb due to its additional macronutrient content, but therefore may be useful for athletes wanting to increase muscle size as opposed to maintaining a leaner muscle mass and body composition.

Casein has a slow absorption rate and, high in glutamic acid, is mostly used to provide a steady supply of protein during the overnight fast when muscle repair is taking place or after resistance training to help maintain muscle mass.

KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS:

• Source of three types of protein from grass-fed New Zealand cows using a cold filtration extraction process:
  • calcium caseinate – casein is the protein form that is obtained from the curds fraction of dairy milk (as is cheese); it is high in glutamic acid and is digested at a slower rate than whey protein, thus supplying the body with a sustained release of amino acids.
  • whey protein concentrate – the protein form that remains after excess fluid, fat, carbohydrate and casein are removed from the whey fraction of dairy milk, high in protein fractions and BCAAs.
  • whey protein isolate – is WPC further refined to remove fat and carbohydrate including lactose, giving 90% protein content but lower in bioactive compounds than WPC.
• More than 22g of protein per serve for support of muscle structure and growth.
• 14.6g of carbohydrates for sustained energy.
• Carbohydrate sourced from waxy maize starch, which contains a large amount of branched starch called amylopectin that helps restore muscle energy reserves.
• High dose of amino acids that contribute to optimal muscle growth.
• Creatine provides energy to support contracting muscles during anaerobic exercise.
• No artificial colours, flavours or sweeteners.
