UDA Pure Whey Protein

UDA Pure Whey Protein

One of the biggest mistakes made by athletes trying to gain lean muscle mass and people dieting to lose weight is that they do not consume enough protein in their diet. For bodybuilders in particular, it is recommended that at least 1.0 to 1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight be consumed daily to support added muscle growth. In addition to healthy food sources, this additional protein may simply be obtained by supplementing with Meritech Pharmaceutical's quality UDA Pure Whey Protein. UDA Pure Whey Protein features 50 milligrams of UDA-processed whey protein concentrate and whey protein isolate per serving.  In a series of clinical studies, UDA protein was proven to contain crucial fragments and peptides not found in other types of protein. Plus, Meritech has formulated this protein powder to contain low fat, low carbohydrates and optimum electrolyte and mineral balance for tissue health and growth. It is also a good source of calcium to promote strong, healthy bones.

Compared to protein isolates manufactured by the ion exchange method, the unique UDA ("ultra- and dia-assimilated") isolate process recovers more crucial proteins, electrolytes and minerals (see chart below). The UDA process uses a pressure-driven filtration system consisting of two molecular sieves. These pressure-sensitive sieves are able to retain important peptide fragments while extracting unwanted materials. But with the ion exchange process, the finer protein particles are lost and more unwanted fats are retained. In addition, the most common whey protein processing methods can lead to enzymatic break-down and bacterial fermentation of the protein. These problems lead to ineffective final products that may be poorly absorbed or improperly utilized by the body, particularly the muscles. The UDA process, on the other hand, utilizes and ensures maximum benefits from derived whey protein mixtures.

But why are these smaller components in UDA-processed whey protein so important? In addition to helping make the protein formula more digestible, smaller protein fragments and peptides serve a number of important biological functions. Glycomacropeptide (GMP) is crucial since it releases cholecystokinin (ckk), a hormone that triggers the release of digestive pancreatic enzymes. GMP also stimulates contraction of the hepatic bile duct, which aids in the elimination of toxins filtered by the liver. Research has shown that peptide fragments (small protein pieces) are absorbed faster because of their increased digestibility (up to 122%). These fragments may also aid the bodybuilder's recovery time for training by 200%. Lactoferrin has been shown to protect against oxidative damage and to eliminate the attachment of bacteria to the gut wall, thus reducing the probability of infections. Additionally, the quality electrolyte and mineral balance in the protein may help improve a bodybuilder's recovery time and allow for proper electrolyte balance.

UDA protein has also been proven to contain the most optimum level of key amino acids for muscle growth and overall health. Included are essential branch-chain amino acids, like isoleucine and leucine. Isoleucine helps prevent muscle wasting and also aids the formation of hemoglobin in the blood stream. Leucine helps reduce muscle protein breakdown. Another essential amino acid, lysine, is a factor in bone growth and development and connective tissue growth and healing. Glutamate is important for bodybuilders wanting to prevent catabolism as well as improve immune function. Furthermore, a study done at the University of Guelph's School of Human Biology in Ontario, Canada showed that supplementing with approximately 4 grams of branch-chain amino acids, such as the kind in UDA protein, during and after training can significantly reduce muscle breakdown or catabolism.

Meritech's UDA Pure Whey Protein is instantized to mix easily with a spoon when combined with 12-16 ounces of your favorite beverage (for the lighter appetite, just use one scoop with 6-8 ounces of milk, water or juice). Enjoy a smooth, delicious shake before and after a workout or as part of a quick meal. Add variety by making shakes and smoothies in a blender with fruit, yogurt and ice or use a hand shaker bottle for a quick protein drink or snack on the go. Try mixing a scoop of UDA Pure Whey Protein with oatmeal or other favorite hot cereal for added nutrition and protein. Whether you are a bodybuilder trying to gain muscle mass or a person just trying to maintain a healthy bodyweight and nutritious diet, Meritech's UDA Pure Whey Protein is an excellent and delicious nutritional supplement.
