Whey protein isolate is referred to as whey
protein in its purest form.
A known source of amino acids which are
vital to muscle of health, skin, body
tissue, and nails.
Also, whey protein naturally contains the
amino acids which are necessary for
everyday diet.
The ideal form of amino acid combination
which greatly benefits body composition
and athletic performance.
According to Dr. Donald
Layman, professor at the University of
Illinois, whey protein isolate contains
leucine which is vital to improvement of
body composition.

Belongs to the most important
building blocks of the body
2nd to water which is most abundant
in the body composition
Composes the body structures such
as
muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments,
glands, organs, nails, and hair.
Helps in the regulation of body
functions
The genetic material of the body
(DNA) tells the body how to produce
proteins which makes living possible

7. 
Protein is another source of energy which is readily
available to the body. When its levels become
insufficient for the body’s use, it will cause the
catabolism (breakdown) of protein contained in the
muscle mass. As the body exhausts the remaining
sources of protein as well as calorie in the body, this
may result to protein malnutrition. This may lead to
muscle wasting as well as deterioration of organs and
tissues. Later on, this will progress to a condition
called Kwashiorkor which causes symptoms such as
diarrhea, edema or swelling, and protruding belly.

8. Probiotics are live and active
microorganisms which cause
beneficial effects when taken
adequately.
 These beneficial microorganisms play
an important role in improving the
health of the digestive system.
 Since 70% of the immune system can
be found in the digestive system, it
can be said that a normal healthy
digestive system also means strong
immune system. This is vital in the
prevention of diseases and conditions
such as allergies.

It provides 5 billion CFUs of 6 probiotic strains. These
are all useful in the maintenance of digestive health
balance as well as boost for immune system.
Whey aids in the absorption of essential nutrients and
vitamins (B vitamins)
Whey protein contains the essential amino acids
which are vital for body composition improvement
through leucine. Leucine helps in the preservation of
lean muscle tissue while also promoting fat loss. Aside
from that, it also promotes burning of fats. These are
what made it widely used by people who want to lose
weight.

10. It also helps in the regulation of blood sugar by
controlling the rate in which the blood sugar enters
the body fats. This helps people with diabetes.
 Whey protein promotes tissue repair and build-up of
lean tissue. This is very beneficial for athletes who
undergoes intensive physical activities.
 Useful for people who have just been recovering from
illness or long period of physical inactivity due to the
tissue repair caused by protein.
 Protein and probiotics also strengthen the immune
system.

Recommended use is one scoop (30g) of
Quantum nutrition probiotic whey isolate
added to 250-500 mL of beverage.
Make sure that the scoop used is appropriate
for the amount of beverage it is diluted in.
People with impaired kidney function and
bone problems should take caution in
consuming high amounts of proteins because
this may deplete calcium from the bones.

I do believe it is great that probiotics are being
put in supplements like whey, but do not believe
it’s the greatest way of getting your daily
probiotic intake.
Probacto is the best probiotic that I have ever run
into. They use multiple strains and they are spore
forming so they can last while not refrigerated.
They do not use cheap bacteria, but expensive
ones such as B. Subtilis.
Probacto also contains prebiotics to help
stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria in
your gut.
Probacto contains digestive enzymes to assist in
candida die-off.
Probacto is enteric coated and made to be slow
release so it will release in your gut gradually.

Probiotics, when added with different substances
such as protein, can cause variety of benefits to the
body. An important example is protein’s ability to
repair body tissues and promotion of weight loss.
These advantages from a probiotic product with this
incorporation shows a great innovation that affects
the use of dietary supplements. On one side, it can be
very useful due to the benefits it provides. On the
other hand, some people may use it as a total
alternative for the drugs prescribed to them. As a
result, they should be properly educated about the
use, indication, and possible side effects of such
supplements.
