Whey Protein Isolate: Rapid Absorption, Muscle Synthesis & Its Role in Maxine’s Burn
1. What Is Whey Protein Isolate?
Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) is the ultra-filtered form of whey delivering ≥90% protein with minimal lactose and fat. Its purity ensures rapid gut transit and a swift rise in plasma amino acids—ideal for post-workout nutrition .
2. Clinically Proven Benefits
2.1 Superior Muscle Protein Synthesis
WPI spikes leucine faster than concentrates, activating mTOR and enhancing lean-mass gains across multiple trials.
2.2 Accelerated Recovery
A 20–30 g dose within 30 minutes post-exercise reduces muscle damage markers (CK) and soreness more effectively than placebo.
2.3 Low Lactose for Sensitive Users
With <1% lactose, WPI is tolerated by mildly intolerant individuals, delivering anabolic benefits without gastrointestinal distress.
3. Optimal Dosage & Timing
3.1 Recommended Serving
3.2 Timing:
- Post-Workout (≤30 min): Maximizes muscle protein synthesis.
- Between Meals: Meets daily protein targets without excess carbs or fats.
- Pre-Sleep Mix: Blend with casein (e.g., Burn Sleep Protein) for sustained release overnight.
4. Safety & Side Effects
WPI is well tolerated in healthy adults at intakes up to 2.0 g/kg/day with no adverse kidney effects. Those highly sensitive to lactose should test tolerance.
