Whey Protein CFM 95% Plus

The highest quality Whey Protein Isolate with superior nutritional value over other protein sources. Maximise your ability to build and maintain muscle.  

Essential if you are training hard with weights.

Why you require additional nutritional support:

• To gain a high spectrum of beneficial essential amino acids which are needed to prevent catabolic condition (muscle breakdown) and to ensure stable anabolic condition (muscle growth).
• If you require a quick source of energy for long-lasting anabolic effect.
• To help maintain a healthy immune system and antioxidant activity.
• To aid heavy and high intensity training.

Questions

What is CFM®?

A unique cross flow microfiltration system achieved using a high technology ceramic filter.  This removes the fat, cholesterol, denatured proteins and lactose so that only the pure whey protein remails. 

What are the benefits of CFM?

This gentle treatment ensures that thenprotein retains its natural shape, solubility and therefore its biological activity. 

It also retains the natural calcium level of the whey whilst removing the sodium so that the CFM® whey isolate has significantly higher calcium and lower sodium content than Ion Exchange whey.

 What are Functional Foods and their benefits?

The benefit of consuming functional foods extend beyond their nutritional value to a much broader range of benefits, which include better health, immune response and energy.  An example of a functional food already on the market include specially formulated yoghurts designed to increase the level of bifidobacteria in the gut. 

Whey proteins that have been isolated using state-of-the-art technology, preserving the biologically active protein fractions, can be classifies as functional foods.  In addition to their established use for muscle growth and repair they also possess many health enhancing properties for a healthy immune and digestive system.

What is the difference between Whey Protein Isolates and Whey Protein Concentrates?

Whey Isolates are not to be confused with sweet dairy whey or whey protein concentrates, all misleadingly termed 'whey protein'.  Sweet dairy whey is unprocessed whey that contains large amounts of lactose and fat and only a relatively small amount of protein. 

Whey concentrates have some of the lactose and fat removed to provide a product containing 35-80% protein.  However, some of the processing methods used to achieve this involve heating, which can denature the protein and reduce its biological value. 

In contrast, whey protein isolates contain over 90% protein with little or no lactose or fat.  This high protein content of isolates is the result of either ion exchange processing or cross-flow microfiltration. (CFM®)

 What is the difference between ION Exchange and CFM®?

These are two completely different processes.  The ion exchange process separates the proteins on the basis of their electrical charge by using chemical reagents, such as hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide.  The proteins then attach themselves to resins in the reaction vessel according to their electrical charge. During this process much of the calcium contained within the whey is replaced by sodium. 

Conversely, the natural process of CFM® retains the natural calcium level of the whey whilst removing the sodium.
