| Everything you could ever need to know about Whey Protein Isolate: |
What is protein? Protein is a major component of enzymes. Hormones. Body tissues, the immune system, and virtually every cell and fluid in the body. Protein is made up of building blocks called amino acids. Amino acids can be synthesized in the body, but nine of them, called essential amino acids, must be ingested from food.
Whey protein is the name for a collection of globular proteins that can be isolated from whey, a by-product of cheese manufactured from cow's milk.
What should someone’s daily intake of protein be? The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of protein is 0.8 grams per a kilogram of body weight. For example, a 130 pound sedentary adult needs 47 grams of protein per a day. This requirement increases with activity, and an adult who exercises regularly needs about 70 grams of protein per day. Athletes need more protein in their diet, often as much as twice the recommended daily allowance. |

| What kind of people use Whey Protein to supplement their health? |
• Athletes use protein to help repair muscle tissue after a hard work out.
• Expected mother’s protein needs increase up to 33% during pregnancy.
• Aging adults combine good nutrition with adequate amounts of high quality whey protein to help limit muscle and bone loss over time during aging.
• Healing wounds and surgical incisions require increased amounts of protein and amino acids to initiate the growth of new skin cells during the healing process.
• Hypertensive individuals use whey protein to help reduce their high levels of blood pressure which is the leading cause of heart disease and stroke.
• People with high cholesterol turn to whey protein to help reduce their cholesterol levels.
• Safe for children because it will not spike their blood sugar levels.
• Diabetics who need to carefully manage food intake use whey protein because it helps control blood glucose levels in their body and for weight management.
• Weight management is promoted by whey protein because it helps stabilize blood glucose levels by slowing the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream. This in turn reduces hunger by lowering insulin levels and making it easier for the body to burn fat. Whey protein also contains bio active components that help stimulate the release of two appetite-suppressing hormones. Adding whey protein to a mid-day snack or beverage provides healthy energy and may help control food intake at the next meal.
• Anyone can use whey protein as an anti-oxidant. Glutathione is found in whey protein and acts as an anti oxidant required for a healthy immune system. |

| We like to keep things regular. High in Dietary Fiber: |
| Instead of using White Flour, we grind up rolled oats into powder. Cooking with oat powder lowers the carbohydrates and increases your dietary fiber intake. |

| Are you a Vegetarian looking to expand your palate? |
So many Protein Bakery eater's are vegetarians. Finding a protein source that is also a delicious sweet treat is not easy, and our vegetarian customer base is very complimentary and very vocal.
First, you should know that Whey Protein is a dairy protein and comes from cow's milk. It does NOT come from animal flesh. We are a great product for vegetarians, not for vegans. Secondly, Whey Protein contains sufficient levels of all essential amino acids. Did you know that plant proteins tend to be limited in one or more essential amino acids? In fact, whey protein isolate has approximately 50% more leucine (an amino acid that plays a key role in promoting muscle protein synthesis and muscle growth) then soy protein. |
