Active Ingredients
Whey Protein Concentrate
Whey protein is the main protein in cow’s milk.
Research shows that it can significantly improve muscle growth and recovery, making it a go-to source for athletes (1).
Whey protein concentrate is a roughly-refined form of the protein, with a round 20% of the final product consisting of other milk solids.
Whey Protein Isolate
Whey protein isolate is very similar to concentrate, above.
The difference lies in the purity of the final protein product, which is much more refined for isolate.
Isolate powders typically contain 90% or more whey protein, and are absorbed somewhat faster than concentrate.
Digestive Enzymes
Digestive enzymes assist the breakdown and absorption of food, in this case protein and milk solids. This allows for more efficient digestion, and less bloating or intestinal stress.
Protein powders with enzymes generally contain lactase, an enzyme that helps to break down milk sugars, and sometimes other enzymes which help with processing proteins.
Who Takes It?
Athletes wanting a basic source of additional protein to assist with muscle growth and recovery may enjoy using Ghost Whey.
How to Take
Mix 1 scoop (35g) with 250mL water or milk, and consume either after your workouts or as desired.
Side Effects
Excess protein consumption may worsen an existing liver or kidney condition.
Pros
- No-frills formula
- A range of unique flavours that are specific to the Ghost brand.
Cons
- Only available in small tubs (2lb)
- Not as cheap as some similar products.
Conclusion
Ghost Whey is a simple whey protein powder, which is isolate-based.
It is very similar to many other protein products on the market, and can be counted on for a solid boost in muscle growth and recovery.
The key differentiator with Ghost Whey is its range of flavours, which are both very unique and popular.
Aside from the flavouring options, there isn’t much separating Ghost Whey from the rest of the pack, so if flavouring isn’t an issue, you may find a similar product in terms of effectiveness for cheaper.
