Hydrolyzed whey proteins or WPH (whey protein hydrolysates) represent the latest innovation in the protein supplements. This type of whey is subject to hydrolysis, a process consisting in the splitting of the protide itself into pre-digested, rapidly assimilated di and tripeptides (chains of two or three amino acids). Thanks to this important peculiarity, the hydrolyzed whey proteins are able to bypass the normal digestive processes making themselves immediately available in the blood stream (blood circulation).
From this they are obtained immediate absorption times (within half an hour of taking), extreme digestibility e almost total absence of lactose, sugar naturally present in cow's milk which usually creates gastrointestinal problems in intolerant subjects.
Hydrolyzed proteins Isolated and concentrated: we explain the differences
Are you wondering if hydrolyzed whey is superior to isolates? The answer is NO, as the two have different peculiarities that can be exploited according to the specific needs of the individual.
First of all, it is necessary to clarify the various terminologies, as hydrolyzed proteins can still be isolated or concentrated. It depends on the extraction method used. Usually, the higher quality isolated proteins, undergo a cross flow microfiltration process (CFM or Cross Flow Microfiltration) in order to guarantee the isolation of the protein itself from impurities without subjecting it to denaturation (which happens for the poorest ion exchange WPIs).
Muscle Nutrition's best hydrolyzed proteins instead they derive from the enzymatic hydrolysis of isolated whey. This process mimics the reactions that take place in the stomach allowing the isolated protein to transform into di or tri-peptides. This allows fast absorption times (higher than traditional isolates) and a high content of branched Bcaa (however similar to normal ultrafiltered whey). These characteristics make them particularly effective in the immediate post-training, always together with insulinogenic and anabolic ingredients such as i carbohydrates Dextrose and Vitargo, amino acids such as Creatine and Glutamine, or as intra workout to be sipped in training during periods of muscle definition, during a marathon or in other situations in which physical effort is constant.
On Musclenutrition.com you will find only the best hydrolyzed proteins extracted from whey isolate of the highest quality, with a high BCAA content as well as a low content of unwanted sugars and fats.
