PhD Pharma Whey
Most Whey Proteins are similar these days. Sure not all of them taste as
great as PhD Pharma-Whey™, but they all contain natures most potent
muscle building source of protein. With all that covered, whey protein products
are becoming a little bland, most companies have nothing much else to say
on the matter, we all accept Whey is the best and the story endeth there.
Here at PhD however, things are different. Rather than simply provide what
we believe is the best-tasting whey protein product on the market, we have
delved further into whey protein technology to bring you a whey protein
that does everything we already know about, plus a whole lot more.
1. Quality Whey protein blend- Our specific, unique blend of the two
finest Whey Protein sources known to man was designed to provide the athlete
with the best of both worlds and the finest taste on the market. With
the ultra-high Bioavailability of Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) providing
instant protein synthesis and similarly large amounts of Whey Protein
Concentrate (WPC) to provide immune system benefits and a great creamy
taste, Pharma-Whey™gives you the ultimate in whey technology.
2. Added BCAA’s and L-Glutamine- Not intent on simply providing
whey protein as the only source of muscle enhancement and tissue repair,
PhD have formulated Pharma-Whey™ with added amounts of Branched
Chain Amino Acids (BCAA’s) and L-Glutamine. These 4 amino acids
are accepted as being vital to the muscle repairing process and tantamount
to an effective athletic lifestyle.
3. Could aid with weight management- Cholecystokinin (CCK) and Glucagon
like peptide (GLP-1) are associated with satiety (feelings of fullness
and appetite satisfaction) Two studies investigated the effects of two
milk proteins- Casein and Whey Protein- on food intake and subjective
ratings of fullness and hunger, as well as postprandial metabolite and
gastrointestinal hormone responses. Blood samples were taken at regular
intervals and tested for amino acids, insulin, glucose-dependent insulinotropic
polypeptide, GLP-1 and CCK. The findings showed that those using Whey
Protein experienced higher circulating levels of amino acids and higher
levels of CCK and GLP-1. These findings show that Whey Protein could have
an invaluable role to play in weight-management and weight-reduction programs.
It’s a simple equation. If you feel fuller, you’ll eat less,
crave less and binge less.
4. Helps to promote growth of pre-biotics, the precursors to friendly
bacteria- The term pre-biotic refers to “a non-digestible food ingredient
that beneficially affects the host by selectively stimulating the growth
and/or activity of one or a limited number of bacteria in the colon”
There are many components of Whey Protein that have been found to potentially
enhance intestinal health and increase pre-biotic activity. Lactose (found
naturally within all whey proteins) has been shown to support lactic acid
bacteria (such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli). Stalic acids (types
of oligosaccharides), which are typically attached to proteins commonly
found in Whey, have also been shown to possess prebiotic effects. However,
three additional components of Whey have been found to beneficially affect
prebiotic formulation. The first is a protein called glycomacropeptide
(GMP). GMP is derived from the partial enzymatic breakdown of kappa-casein
during cheese production, becoming a component of whey. GMP has been shown
to support the growth of bifidobacteria. The second Whey-derived prebiotic
is lactoferrin (Lf), which has been shown to support the growth of bifidobacteria
and lactobacilli. (4). Interestingly the third Whey component with prebiotic
potential is a mineral that is found in high amounts within all quality
whey protein formulations. Calcium phosphate has been shown to selectively
stimulate the growth of intestinal lactobacilli and decrease the severity
of salmonella infections in rats.
5. High in anti oxidants- Pharma-Whey™ is high in the amino acid
Cysteine, which helps the body’s immune system by raising glutathione
levels. Glutathione is the most powerful of all antioxidants with the
ability to help the body reduce risk of infection by making the immune
system more responsive.

Recommended Usage
For optimum results use 2-4 servings of Pharma-Whey daily. Ideally, use
1 serving 60-90 minutes prior to intense exercise, followed by 1-2 servings
immediately upon completion of intense exercise.
To Mix a regular shake providing 20 grams of protein: Add 1 serving (1
scoop) to 200-250ml of ice cold water or 250ml of milk and shake for approx
5 seconds.
For a thicker, higher-protein shake, providing 30 grams of protein: Add
1 ½ servings (1 ½ scoops) of Pharma-Whey to 200-250ml of
ice cold water or 250ml of milk and shake for approx 5-10 seconds.
