Life Extension Advanced Whey Protein Isolate (Vanilla) is an advanced whey protein isolate shake mix that provides 14 grams of protein with branched-chain amino acids, plus L-glutamine and creatine monohydrate per scoop. This nutritional supplement contains creatine for optimal absorption. The whey protein isolate has undergone a cross-flow microfiltration process. Whey protein can build lean muscle. It appears to be a useful supplement for muscle recovery and immune regulation, and provides a means to reduce age-related muscle loss. It has also been shown to improve the production of glutathione, the body's antioxidant. Long used by athletes for performance, creatine is becoming recognized as more than just a muscle-building supplement. In your body, skeletal muscles, the brain, and other tissues use it as an important form of energy storage. Creatine increases ATP levels in mitochondria, your body's energy factories. Glutamine is a nonessential amino acid that generates energy and helps increase strength, faster recovery, and exercise endurance. Blood ammonia concentrations increase during endurance exercise and have been proposed as a cause of both peripheral and central fatigue. Glutamine supplementation reduced the buildup of ammonia in the blood that increases during exercise, which is also a cause of fatigue. As an immune booster, glutamine can protect DNA. The intestine can also benefit from its effects, improving intestinal function and allowing better absorption of nutrients. It is recommended to mix 1 level scoop in approximately (4 to 8 oz.) of water or a beverage of your choice (to taste) once or twice daily, or as recommended by a physician. Drink immediately.
