Description

UltraWHEY WPC S Evo is the 100% concentrated whey protein, with a very high biological value and instant solubility, enriched with Bacillus spores to ensure maximum nutrient assimilation and vitamin B6 to support energy metabolism.

Production using micro- and ultrafiltration processes results in a Whey with a high protein value (70-85%).

UltraWHEY WPC S Evo naturally contains all the essential amino acids (EAA) and branched chain amino acids (BCAA), as well as various compounds characteristic only of this type of protein. WPCs (Whey Protein Concentrate) contain much higher levels of growth factors, phospholipids, bioactive lipids and often also immunoglobulins and lactoferrin. They are rapidly absorbed proteins with a good digestive speed (45 minutes to 1 hour), which makes them versatile in use.

UltraWHEY WPC S Evo is a protein that can in fact be used to enrich breakfasts, snacks and snacks, has a good taste and is very satiating.

Protein powder is suitable for meeting daily protein requirements, both for athletes with high protein needs and for sedentary people who want to enrich snacks and breakfasts.

Proteins, in fact, contribute to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass, have a plastic function (i.e. they participate in tissue repair and construction), constitute hormones and enzymes, act as transporters and participate, in the form of antibodies, in immune activities.

In addition, maintaining a correct protein intake helps avoid muscle catabolism, the process of muscle tissue destruction that can occur due to a lack of sufficient nutrients to cover the body's needs.

**But why choose a whey protein concentrate?

WPCs have a full amino acid profile of EAAs and BCAAs and high levels of Valine, Isoleucine and Leucine, which are significantly lower in plant-based proteins (as shown in the chart below). The total amount of essential (and non-essential) amino acids is also higher in whey protein concentrate than in protein from other sources.

Amino acid content

In addition, WPCs have a high NPU (Net Protein Utilisation) value, which is higher than other types of protein: this parameter is very similar to the biological value. Both biological value and net utilisation of protein measure nitrogen retention, but the difference is that biological value is calculated based on the nitrogen absorbed, whereas net utilisation of protein is based on the nitrogen ingested. As the graph below shows, whey protein (WPC) is the best in terms of NPU.

Net protein utilisation

**What distinguishes UltraWHEY WPC S Evo from other whey protein concentrates?

The formula of UltraWHEY WPC S Evo, in addition to being made up of 100% top-quality whey protein concentrate, is enriched by the presence of Bacillus spores and vitamin B6.

Vitamin B6 supports normal energy metabolism** and participates in the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and is therefore particularly useful for people practising sport.

Bacillus spores, in detail Bacillus subtilis natto BSN287 and Bacillus coagulans BC208, are added to ensure good gastro-intestinal function, the natural balance of intestinal flora and complete assimilation of nutrients, which maximises protein supply to the muscles.

The spores of Bacillus are protected by a 5-layer transport system, a coating chosen to act as a barrier and protect the bacilli from the highly acidic pH of the stomach (typically around pH 1.5-3.5). This system allows for a protected transit of the bacilli to the gut, and the multilayer coating ensures that as the layers degrade, new protective barriers remain around the spores, safeguarding them until they reach their target site.

This system also allows the bacilli, which are usually sensitive to oxygen, light and moisture, to remain viable and stable, thus arriving fully functional.

UltraWHEY WPC S Evo is a concentrated whey protein of the highest quality, gluten-free and with an optimal formula to support protein requirements, but which does not put taste in second place. The delicious flavour and creamy texture make it a protein for all palates.

Warnings

Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of the reach of young children. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet and healthy lifestyle. If you are pregnant, are under the age of 18 or plan long term intake, consult your physician before using this product.

Directions and intake

Dissolve 30 g (3 scoops) in 200 ml water. Stir well and take once a day.

Our Advice

We recommend taking the daily portion away from main meals, at snacks or to make breakfast complete. In pre-workout, we recommend taking it at least an hour after training to allow for complete digestion. It can also be taken post-workout to optimise muscle recovery.

Remember also that the volume of water used in the preparation can be increased (or decreased!) as desired to achieve the desired density and intensity of taste.

In the case of deficiency or increased need, it is advisable to take them away from the main meals and/or at breakfast, so that the body is constantly supplied with plastic material. Remember that concentrated whey protein is rapidly absorbed but takes around 45 minutes to 1 hour to digest, and provides a good sense of satiety.

NOTE: the protein requirement is a parameter that is different for each individual. It depends on several factors, including the physical activity practised and biochemical individuality.

For this reason, based on the latest scientific literature ("NSCA's Guide to Sport and Exercise Nutrition", 2011. Campbell & Spano. Human Kinetics) the following values are useful for establishing protein requirements on the basis of the sport practised.

SEDENTARY INDIVIDUALS: 0.7 - 0.9 g / kg body weight / day
Active lifestyle athlete: 1 g / kg body weight / day
BODYBUILDING athlete: 1.4 - 2.4 g / kg body weight / day (remembering that during periods of mass, the recommended protein intake is 2-30% of total dietary kcal intake)
STRENGTH SPORTS**: 1.8 - 2 g / kg body weight / day
COMBAT sports**: 1.6 g / kg body weight / day
TEAM SPORTS** (acyclic): 1.6 g / kg body weight / day

Frequent doubts

**Is it possible to bake UltraWHEY WPC S Evo or otherwise use them in cakes or baked goods without altering their nutritional values?

Just as it is possible to cook meat and eggs (other protein sources), it is possible to heat Ultra WHEY WPC S Evo in the microwave/cook it in a frying pan without altering its nutritional values. Cooking, above 60 degrees, causes denaturation of the proteins: this results in a structural change but not in the nutritional values of the product. It is therefore considered safe to both cook and heat them. Remember, however, that since it contains bacilli spores, which are sensitive to heat, it would be best to avoid exposing the protein powder to high temperatures.

Can I dissolve UltraWHEY WPC S Evo in a liquid other than water? Certainly: remember, however, that in this case the nutritional values of UltraWHEY WPC S Evo** will be added to those of the chosen drink.

How come no additional amino acids are added to UltraWHEY WPC S Evo? It is common to think that having an extra source of amino acids in protein powders is a good thing*. The truth is that when amino acids are added to a protein source in the world of nutritional supplementation, it is not done to give a plus to the value of the product, but to be able to alter the nitrogen value*.

Several amino acids (such as taurine, arginine and glycine) have in fact negligible production costs, and it is therefore possible to add them to protein powders to give theoretically a boost to the protein value without impacting too much on the cost of the finished product. You have to think of it as the addition of individual amino acids: the nitrogen value actually increases in this way, but without providing any real added value. The result is misleading, because arginine has a high nitrogen value, more than the protein itself, which automatically leads to PROTEIN SPIKING. But what does this mean? That if you have 15g of Whey and add, say, 5g of glycine, you will not really get 20g of protein per serving (assessed by the nitrogen test) but 15g of complete protein and 5g of a non-essential amino acid. This has no benefit to the user who wants to gain muscle support: the only benefit gained is cost-cutting on the part of the manufacturer. When buying protein powder supplements, it is good to ask why when you are faced with really low costs. Quality protein raw material costs money. Once again, before you can really choose between the options on the market, it is very important to know how to read nutrition labels.
