Active Ingredients
Whey Protein (Concentrate and Isolate)
Whey Protein is the main protein found in cow’s milk.
It’s absorbed faster than most forms of protein and has been shown to significantly increase muscle growth and repair (1).
This makes it great for consumption post-workout, and general supplementation for bodybuilders.
Isolate is the purest form of Whey, with almost all of the carbohydrates and fats removed. Concentrate is also pure, but not quite as refined as Isolate.
Glutamine
Glutamine is an amino acid which has been linked to improved muscle growth (2), but it’s failed to demonstrate extra benefits alongside protein and BCAAs (3).
Who Takes It?
Anyone who would like a quick source of protein post-workout or throughout the day may benefit from using 100% Whey.
How to Take
Mix 1 scoop with 250-300mL water or milk, and consume post-workout or when needed.
Side Effects
Whey protein could worsen an existing kidney or liver condition. Exercise caution if you already have issues with your kidneys or liver.
Pros
- Includes extras such as digestive enzymes and vitamins
- No added carbs or fillers
- Comes in individual 1kg bags to preserve freshness.
Cons
- The addition of Glutamine may not be necessary
- Includes whey protein concentrate which is inferior to isolate.
Conclusion
Pure Supps 100% Whey is a great source of high-quality protein, although it would be better as pure isolate in our opinion.
It keeps calories low, making it easy to use while dieting or as an addition to recipes.
The added digestive enzymes and vitamins are a nice bonus.
We also think it’s great that it comes in individual 1kg bags, no matter how much you order!
