- Maintains & repairs lean body mass
- Strengthens immune system
- Accelerates recovery
Mix 1 scoop or 1 single serving packet (in available flavors) of Hammer Whey (25g) with 8-16 ounces (236-473ml) of water. Use Whey Protein after exercise, to bolster protein intake anytime throughout the day, and, especially, before bed.
Add a scoop to smoothies, pancakes, and other foods for added dietary protein.
PRO TIPS
Take Whey Protein Prior to Bed!
Whey Protein and its glutamine content provide massive benefits when taken before bed! Mix 1 scoop or 1 single serving packet of Whey Protein in 4-6 ounces of water (or more, if desired) immediately prior to bed. Drink, brush your teeth, go to bed. Done! Now the body has an excellent amount of the amino acids it needs to do a lot of the repairing/rebuilding processes that it does while we sleep.
The specific peptides found only in whey protein isolate will also help reduce soreness, while also boost immune system function. Lastly, the glutamine in the product will help the body produce and release maximal (not excess, maximal) amounts of human growth hormone (hGH), which the body will use for a huge range of important functions.
For more on the Whey Protein + Glutamine benefits for naturally boosting human growth hormone, please see the article Glutamine Benefits.
Whey Protein Isolate – The most bioavailable of all protein sources, it contains the highest percentage of the nine essential amino acids (EAA)—those that the body does not manufacture and must obtain from dietary sources. Whey is also high in the branched-chain amino acids (BCAA’s) that are needed for tissue repair and immune system support. Our grass-fed Whey Isolate is approximately 90% protein, and 99% lactose free.
L-Glutamine – The most abundant amino acid found in muscles, L-glutamine is essential for a multitude of recovery processes but is rapidly depleted during intense exercise. Its role in glycogen synthesis (carbohydrate storage) and the repair and rebuilding of muscle tissue are among its many important functions. It also contributes to growth hormone release, and is a key component for intestinal and immune system health. Low levels of L-glutamine have been shown to correlate with over-training syndrome.
Stevia – A natural, calorie-free sweeter derived from the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana, a plant native to Central and South America. It does not affect blood sugar levels or contribute to tooth decay like sugar does. (Unflavored Whey does not contain Stevia)
