What is Whey Protein Isolate?
Whey Protein Isolate or WPI is a very fast-digesting dairy protein that has the highest protein intake per serving with almost no carbohydrates or fats. WPI is also 99% lactose-free, making it suitable for most people who are lactose intolerant.
What is the difference between Whey Protein Isolate and Whey Protein Concentrate?
The key difference between the two whey protein powders is their nutritional profile primarily amount of protein, carbohydrates and Fats content per serve. Both powders go through a micro-filtration process in their raw state, but whey protein isolate goes through a further ultra-filtration process that strips away lactose and other elements to give a purer whey with a higher protein and lower carbohydrates and fat content.
Whey Protein Isolate is also quicker to digest than WPC.
How many serves of protein powder can I have in a day?
Protein intake varies from person to person depending upon their age, diet, workload, and training. 1-2 serves per day are usually adequate, or up to three servings per day as required.
American college of sports medicine recommends that a person that lifts weights regularly or is training for a running or cycling event eat a range of 1.2-1.7 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day, or 0.5 to 0.8 grams per pound of body weight.
To determine how much protein you should ideally consume, you first need to assess your individual requirements and how much protein you are currently getting from whole food sources such as meat, fish, dairy, nuts and so on.
When should I take my protein powder for gaining or maintaining lean muscle?
If you want to grow and build lean muscle mass then we recommend consuming a protein shake within an hour of finishing your workout to enhance recovery.
Protein shakes can also be consumed at any time throughout the day as a meal replacement or in between meals to up your protein intake.
When should I take my protein powder for weight loss?
Protein is the most effective macronutrient providing a satiating effect (makes you feel fuller for longer) so if losing weight is your goal, consuming a protein-rich snack between meals would be ideal to curb the appetite leading you to eat fewer calories in a day.
Protein shakes can also be consumed at any time throughout the day as a meal replacement or in between meals to up your protein intake.
What is ultimate lean whey protein powder?
Ultimate lean whey is a blend of Whey protein isolate and whey protein concentrate. The blend of two proteins provides a longer and sustained release of protein and amino acids over time as WPC digests at a slower rate than WPI. A great option for those who are looking for a cost-effective and versatile source of high-quality protein. It has a lower net percentage of protein than whey protein isolate though a complete protein containing all 9 essential amino acids to meet your overall protein needs.

Ultimate Casein
What is Top Athlete Ultimate Casein?
Top Athlete Ultimate casein is a blend of Micellar casein and whey concentrate providing a slow and steady stream of nutrients while your body is resting and repairing. Combining both casein protein and whey protein it provides a complete set of amino acids which restore your muscles over a long period of time.
What is casein protein?
Casein protein is a protein found in milk that gives milk its white colour. Cow's milk consists of around 80% casein protein and 20% whey. Unlike whey protein, which is rapidly digested, casein is slowly digested and absorbed. This slow digestion of casein provides a sustained release of amino acids into the blood stream, which in turn provides the building materials for muscle repair and growth.
Why does it come in blend?
Most casein powders come as a blend. This is because pure casein powder would be extremely thick, would not mix well, and would have an uncomfortable texture in the mouth. For this reason, mixing two proteins together ensures a complete slow release and easy digestion protein intake.
Who should take Ultimate Casein?
Ultimate Casein is ideal for people who go for extended period of time between meals and those wanting to maximise their muscle building process overnight when the body is resting and recovering. The slow digestion of casein powder provides a steady stream of amino acids over a longer period of time and keeps you feeling full for longer also leading to better sleep. it decreases muscle loss when there is an extended time between meals.
What is the best time to take Ultimate Casein?
Ideally a night time protein, Casein is usually taken before bed to maximise muscle gain overnight by providing a steady stream of nutrients while the body is resting and recovering. It can also be taken between meals when you know it will be a long time between your meals.
Can Casein powder improve sleep?
Studies have shown that diets high in protein can improve sleep quality, as taking casein can increase your protein intake, it can also help in improving your sleep. For those on a calorie deficit, casein powder can keep hunger at bay before bed, helping you fall asleep and stopping you from waking up hungry. In addition, casein contains tryptophan, and amino acid which has been demonstrated to improve sleep quality.

Ultimate BCAA
What are BCAAs?
BCAA (Branched Chain Amino Acids) are a group of three essential amino acids: leucine, isoleucine, and valine (in 2:1:1 ratio) that are part of 9 essential amino acids which play crucial role in working and functionality of our body. BCAAs are particularly responsible to stimulate the building of protein in muscle and possibly reduce muscle breakdown. They are called branched chain amino acids because they have a branch-like structure. Their structure means that they are not processed in the liver before entering the blood stream. Instead, they directly enter the blood stream and can be immediately used for protein synthesis and energy production.
What are amino acids?
Amino acids, often referred to as the building blocks of proteins, are compounds that play many critical roles in our body. our body needs 20 different amino acids to grow and function properly. Out of those 20, 11 are classified as non-essential as our body is capable of making them and 9 are classified as essential meaning our body is incapable of making them and they must be supplied through diet
What are the Use and benefits of Ultimate BCAA?
Ultimate BCAA are a complete intra or post-workout supplement. It combines the three BCAAs leucine, isoleucine and valine along with L-glutamine and citrulline malate to boost energy and performance.
L-glutamine reduces muscle soreness and facilitate strength recovery.
Citrulline malate which is converted to arginine in the body increases nitric oxide levels in the blood. This allows oxygen to be delivered more efficiently through the body and increases strength and endurance.
