Yamamoto Nutrition Muscle Whey COMPLEX is a supplement based on Volactive Ultra Whey 80 WPC80 quality whey protein concentrate. Whey is a food particularly rich in whey proteins, which represent its most precious protein fraction. Their biological value is in fact extremely high, as are the other indices of protein quality.

What is whey protein concentrate? In the world of food supplements you can find different types of whey proteins. Whey protein concentrate, or WPC (Whey Protein Concentrate), is obtained through micro and ultrafiltration processes, which use physical filters to separate fats and lactose from the protein, without damaging it (the differences between the two filtration techniques are minimal, and depend on the size of the filtration pores, about one micrometer large in microfiltration and 4 times smaller in ultrafiltration). In this way a powder with a high protein content (70-85%) is obtained. First generation whey protein powders contained 30-40% protein and high amounts of lactose, fat, and undenatured protein. Modern concentrates, on the other hand, contain up to 70-80% protein, with small amounts of lactose and fat. Many people tend to believe that a WPC is inherently smaller than a city block. This is actually FALSE. In fact, although WPCs contain less protein than an isolate (70-85% vs 90-95%), a high quality WPC contains several interesting compounds not found in isolates. Indeed, WPCs contain much higher levels of growth factors, (such as IGF-1, TGF-1 and TGF-2), of various phospholipids and bioactive lipids, (such as conjugated linoleic acid - CLA), and often also contain increased levels of immunoglobulins and lactoferrin. Many people, unaware of the crap that unfortunately the world of food supplements is strategically implementing, thinks that having an extra source of amino acids, added to protein powders, is a positive factor. The truth is that amino acids are not added to give a "plus" to the value of the product, but to be able to alter the nitrogen value. Several amino acids (such as taurine, arginine and glycine) have negligible costs, and therefore with little "sly" companies, by enhancing this value, technically give a "boost" to the protein value. But it is the addition of individual amino acids: the nitrogen value test takes into account this factor, which actually increases... without however giving real added value, but fictitious on the benefits and misleading. Arginine has a high nitrogen content, more than the protein isolate itself.

So? PROTEIN SPIKING served. Put simply, if you have 15 g of whey isolate and add 5 g of glycine, there will not be 20 g of protein per serving for the "nitrogen test", but 15 real, complete, and 5 of a non-essential amino acid, therefore without any particular benefit being brought to muscle support, but aimed at cutting costs for the manufacturing company. Always ask yourself why such low prices: COSTA quality protein raw material. And not a little. Again, before you can really choose from the options on the market, it is very important to know how to read nutritional labels.

What does Volactive certification and raw material mean? Volac is a point of reference in the field of dairy and livestock production, as well as the largest producer of nutritional whey proteins for "Lifestyle" applications in Europe. It has earned a reputation as an absolute innovator in production technology and nutritional development. Volac's technical-scientific team draws on the company's 40-year heritage in whey processing and the use of state-of-the-art ultrafiltration techniques. The Volactive product range arises from the use of the most recent and complex membrane and spray drying technologies, which effectively stabilizes the protein matter by reducing to an absolute minimum the denaturation of the proteins themselves, and thus providing whey proteins with highly nutritional profiles. higher than protein preparations obtained with other processing methods which can compromise its stability.

Why choose Muscle Whey COMPLEX? Here are some of the valid reasons: Volactive UltraWhey XP and Ultra Whey 80 certification: Muscle Whey COMPLEX is a protein made up solely and exclusively of Volactive UltraWhey 80 certified raw material;100% Italian production: Muscle Whey COMPLEX, like all Yamamoto brand products, is assembled and packaged in Italy. So it is a 100% Italian-made product. It's a combination of convenient, high-quality proteins that help build and maintain muscle mass, with just 2.5 grams of fat per serving (chocolate flavor), 2.2 grams of carbohydrates (chocolate flavor), and only 87 calories per serving. portion. It also includes essential amino acids, including 5.1 grams of BCAAs (branched chain amino acids), naturally present in proteins and which contribute to the formation and recovery of new muscle mass.
