Health Goals Impacted 1
This item supports, tracks, or is required for the following health goals:
Rapid delivery of amino acids.
Whey protein isolate digests in 30-60 minutes, causing a massive spike in blood amino acids. This hyperaminoacidemia is potent for stimulating protein synthesis, especially around the workout window.
It also has a high insulinogenic effect, which helps drive nutrients into the muscle cells and suppress cortisol post-workout.
