Frequently Asked Questions about 100% IsoBlend
Q: How do I get more protein per scoop with 100% IsoBlend when my current protein clearly has more grams of protein per scoop?
A: What you’re receiving with 100% IsoBlend is a higher percentage of protein in every scoop.
For example, your protein may have 27 grams protein per scoop. But it may also have 5 grams of carbs, 2 grams of fat and 2 grams of “other ingredients” such as flavorings, colorings, and fillers. This gives you a total serving size of 36 grams per scoop. To calculate the amount of protein you’re really receiving, divide the actual amount of protein (27g) by the full serving size (36g). Then multiply by 100% to reach the percentage of protein you’re really receiving in each scoop.
(27 ÷ 36) x 100 = 75% protein in each scoop.
Now, compare this to 100% IsoBlend, which provides 25 grams of protein in every 28 gram serving size. *
(25 ÷ 28) x 100 = 90% protein in each scoop.
As you can see, with 100% IsoBlend you’re receiving a higher percentage of protein in every scoop. Which means you’re not paying for useless sugars, fats, lactose and other impurities.
Q: Why are isolate proteins prefered over concentrate proteins?
A: Concentrate and isolate are two terms that refer to the amount of processing that each type of protein has undergone.
Prior to processing, the source material is high in sugars, fats, lactose and other impurities. With a concentrate protein, the source material is processed to remove the majority of these impurities, leaving behind a protein that is more concentrated. Concentrates are typically 80% protein, and the remaining 20% is unfiltered sugars, carbs, fats and lactose.
Isolate proteins, on the other hand, are further refined and stripped of carbohydrates, sugars, fats and lactose, yielding a protein that is typically 90% pure.
Q: What is whey protein hydrolysate?
A: Whey protein hydrolysate is whey protein that has been broken down – or “pre-digested” – into smaller protein fragments. These smaller protein fragments are the fastest absorbing proteins to date, and will reach your muscles faster than whey protein alone.
Q: Is using a blend of fast and slow releasing proteins better than relying on a single source, such as whey protein alone?
A: Yes. Fast acting proteins, such as whey isolates and hydrolysates, absorb rapidly and feed your muscles fast. Unfortunately, they are quickly excreted from the body, too. Slower releasing proteins, such as milk and egg isolates, don’t digest and absorb nearly as fast. Rather, they supply a steady stream of aminos to your muscles for many hours longer compared to whey. And this is ideal when seeking to establish the perfect, around-the-clock muscle building environment.
By combining the two, you get the best of both Worlds. Fast acting proteins for rapid muscle repair, and slow releasing proteins to keep muscle growth going strong for hours after the whey has left your system.
Q: How much protein do I need each day?
A: For building strength and muscle, research has continually verified that 1 gram to 1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight is ideal. If you are dieting to lose fat yet still wish to maintain strength and muscle, we recommend keeping your protein elevated to at least 1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight.
Q: When is the best time to use 100% IsoBlend?
A: The beauty of 100% IsoBlend is that it can be used any time, pre-workout or post, day or night. The fast acting proteins in 100% IsoBlend are perfect for morning or post-workout use. And the longer lasting proteins will provide your muscles with a steady supply of muscle building aminos while you sleep. Use it anytime you need help reaching your daily protein requirements.
