- Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) 30g (per serving): the ultimate protein with a richer amino acid profile and faster absorption rate than any other source. Numerous studies have demonstrated the remarkable ability of WPI to build muscle but timing is crucial. One study undertaken by Victoria University suggested that muscle gains can be doubled when you take the WPI within one hour after training.
- Branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) 8.8g: The three BCAAs, Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine are probably the most important for increasing protein synthesis and muscle growth post exercise.
Overall
Platinum Hydro Whey is pure protein with low fat (1g), lactose, sugar, and cholesterol. Platinum Hydro Whey is designed for rapid absorption and this makes it a perfect choice for your post-workout supplement.
