Sports High Protein, High Carb Powder

A high protein, high carbohydrate formula designed specifically for athletes with increased energy demands. Featuring a triple protein blend of premium whey protein concentrate and isolate plus casein, the High Protein, High Carb formula aids muscle repair and growth when exercise demands are high. Fast-acting carbohydrate waxy maize starch delivers energy when it is needed, plus high dose amino acids for elite athletes who require a formula to support elevated nutritional needs. Whey protein has rapid absorption and is generally used around the time of exercise, facilitating protein uptake and usage by muscle tissue. WPC is 80% protein and contains lactose and 5% fat. Whereas, WPI is 90% protein and has minimal lactose and fat. WPC generally takes a little longer to digest and absorb due to its additional macronutrient content, but therefore may be useful for athletes wanting to increase muscle size as opposed to maintaining a leaner muscle mass and body composition. Casein has a slow absorption rate and, high in glutamic acid, is mostly used to provide a steady supply of protein during the overnight fast when muscle repair is taking place or after resistance training to help maintain muscle mass.
