Protein Isolate and Hydrolyzed
Whey protein (whey protein) over time has become increasingly specialized to meet the needs in pre- and post-workout, lifestyles, and tastes of athletes.
In this category you will find our selection of the best protein isolates and hydrolysates on the market.
Protein isolates are obtained from milk through a filtration process, which is refined enough to result in a product virtually free of lactose, carbohydrates, fat and cholesterol.
The protein concentrates that make up these supplements are considered complete, meaning they have all the amino acids we need in our diet, with particularly high percentages of branched-chain amino acids.
Hydrolyzed protein powders are made by going through the process of hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is a process by which proteins are fragmented into smaller molecules, namely di-peptides, tri-peptides, and oligo-peptides, emulating the result of the digestive action our body performs on proteins at the gastrointestinal level.
This is possible through the action of certain proteolytic enzymes, which are special proteins capable of breaking the bonds of other proteins and thus breaking them up. The peptides thus obtained always maintain the same amino acid profile as the protein from which they are derived. However, since they are already partially digested, the hydrolyzed proteins remain in the stomach for a greatly reduced time and can quickly reach the small intestine where the di- and tri-peptides that comprise them can be absorbed into the bloodstream very quickly, even more than single amino acids!
