Red 8 Whey Protein Powder contains instantised, low temperature, ultra-filtered whey protein concentrate. Choice of Vanilla, Chocolate or Unflavoured. Very popular.

Red 8 Whey Protein Powder contains low temperature un-denatured instantised whey protein concentrate (contains lecithin), nature identical flavours, stevia and talin. 

Protein is critical for building and maintaining bone, muscle and skin. Consuming protein following intensive exercise has been shown to promote muscle protein synthesis, inhibit protein breakdown and promote muscle glycogen restoration. This results in improved muscle adaptations and increased muscle strength and function1. Due to its rapid digestion, whey protein is most effective in stimulating muscle protein synthesis during post-exercise recovery1-3.

Whether a weekend warrior or a serious athlete, good nutritional strategies are vitally important. In particular recovery strategies ensure that training gains are optimised and that subsequent training sessions can be performed effectively. Intense exercise results in increased protein breakdown and reduced protein synthesis. Consuming protein post exercise results in a reversal of these processes, and leads to increased muscle strength. For muscle growth to occur muscle synthesis rates must exceed muscle protein breakdown rates1-3.

The specific amino acid composition of Red8 whey protein assists in stimulating muscle protein synthesis. Red8 whey protein is a rich source of branch chain amino acids (BCAAÕs) and has been formulated to allow for rapid digestion and absorption which allows essential amino acids to reach damaged muscles faster. Net protein balance will remain negative in the absence of food intake. Consuming whey protein following exercise increases the availability of BCAAÕs and enhances muscle regeneration1-3.

Whey protein is suitable for use in a wide range of sports. Strength and power athletes have greater protein requirements than endurance athletes and athletes of all types have a greater requirement than sedentary individuals2.

Moderate-intensity endurance athletes**  1.2

*Exercising approximately 4-5 times per week for 30 minutes
