    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a “time-release” protein blend?

    A time-release protein blend includes various proteins that are fast- and slow-digesting, ensuring a steady release of nutrients to support muscle health throughout the day.

    Are protein shakes “good” for you?

    Protein shakes can be an excellent addition to a well-rounded diet and healthy lifestyle. Research has shown that supplementing with protein can support athletic performance, post-workout recovery, weight management, muscle maintenance, and muscle growth.

    Can protein shakes support weight gain?

    Protein shakes may support weight gain if they contribute to a calorie surplus in your diet.

    Can protein shakes support weight loss?

    Research has shown that protein-rich foods temporarily rev up your metabolism and can help make you feel satiated longer, which may contribute to weight loss.

    Are protein shakes "good" for women?

    Supplementing with protein is as beneficial for women as it is for men in supporting muscle growth and maintenance, recovery, and performance.

    How can protein supplements benefit my muscles?

    Protein supplements provide the nutrients your body needs to stimulate muscle protein synthesis and support recovery post-workout.

    Who Would Benefit from Taking Protein?

    • Athletes and fitness enthusiasts looking to support muscle growth, muscle maintenance, performance, and post-workout recovery

    Do You Just Whey?

    If you're a regular whey protein user, there's something you need to know. When it comes to optimally building lean muscle, just whey protein is NOT ENOUGH. Nature had it right. When researchers tested a combination of whey protein + casein protein, as found naturally in milk protein, they discovered that the two protein sources work together in a synergistic manner to build lean muscle.

    100% Whey protein in isolation only gets you so far... it can spike protein synthesis with an influx of amino acids, but quickly returns to baseline, leaving you where you started.

    Enter casein, a slower-digesting protein that's typically consumed for its anti-catabolic properties as it promotes a steady release of amino acids over time.

    In another published study, researchers found the combination of whey protein with casein protein resulted in a quick increase in protein synthesis along with a sustained elevation in plasma leucine levels. Plasma leucine levels are a key dictator of muscle protein synthesis, and thus, a combination of whey protein and casein protein may serve to maximize muscle protein accumulation.

    This is the exact, real, validated science SELECT PROTEIN™ is formulated from...a combination of the highest quality Milk Protein Isolate and Whey Protein Concentrate 80%.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What sets whey protein isolate apart from other forms of whey?

    Whey protein isolates (WPI) have the highest concentration of protein and BCAAs, while having less carbs, cholesterol, and fat compared to other whey proteins. WPI are also low in lactose and easier on the digestive tract.

    What are BCAAs?

    Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) include leucine, isoleucine, and valine. They support muscle growth and reduce muscle fatigue.

What is whey protein?

Proteins are the body's primary building blocks, and milk contains two proteins: casein and whey. Whey is the liquid byproduct of cheese-making, often seen as the clear layer on top of yogurt. Once filtered and dried, whey becomes a versatile powder perfect for shakes, smoothies, and recipes. This complete protein is made up of all nine essential amino acids to encourage immune system health, as well as minerals and lactose.

Whey protein concentrate vs. whey protein isolate

Understanding the differences between these two types of whey protein powder can help you choose the right one for your needs.

Whey Protein Concentrate is the least processed type of whey protein, and the concentrates usually have approximately 80% protein content and greater fat, lactose, and cholesterol levels than whey isolates. It may be suited for those seeking a balanced formula with natural nutrients like BCAA’s and glutamine to support muscle health.

Whey Protein Isolate contains higher concentrations of whey proteins at around 90%. It goes through a special micro-filtration process that separates the protein from lactose, fat, and cholesterol, resulting in a higher and purer protein content. With lower lactose and less fat and carbs, it may suit those with sensitive stomachs or more strict diets.

  • Protein-to-carb ratiobased on your fitness goals
  • Sweetener type(natural vs. artificial)
  • Dietary needs: lactose-free, gluten-free, vegetarian, non-GMO, organic whey protein powders
  • Processing method (cold-processed, micro-filtered, etc.)

Always check the label for clean ingredients and minimal fillers.

Is whey protein safe for daily use?

Most people can consume whey protein daily as part of a balanced diet. Please consult your health care practitioner to decide what’s right for you and your goals.

What’s the best time to take whey protein?
