Proteins for athletes
Proteins are essential for our body and play a crucial role, especially for athletes. On average, the protein requirement of people who exercise is higher.

Proteins are made up of amino acids. Although our body can produce a number of amino acids itself, there are nine amino acids for which this is not the case. These are also called essential amino acids, and we must obtain them from our food.

Proteins in food
Protein is found in a variety of foods, both from animal sources such as meat, fish and dairy, and from plant sources such as beans, nuts and grains.

Elite Whey – High protein content >86%
Elite Whey is a high-quality protein powder, with protein isolate and protein hydrolysate. To obtain these forms, several steps are required.

The first step in making Elite Whey is concentrating the whey. Liquid whey, which is a by-product of cheese making, is first filtered. We then concentrate the whey by drying it. This process results in a rich, concentrated protein powder with a full and creamy taste, which serves as the basis for the next steps in the production of Elite Whey.

More than 90% pure isolate
To obtain isolate, the concentrated whey is further filtered. During this step, fat, sugar and lactose are almost completely removed, resulting in an extremely pure whey isolate. This isolate is characterized by a very high protein content, of at least 90%.

Best absorbable hydrolyzate
To make hydrolysate, a special patented enzymatic hydrolysis process is used. During this process, enzymes break down the protein chains into smaller fragments, which results in a more easily digestible protein powder and more efficient absorption by the body.

100% natural
Elite Whey is completely free of added sugars and synthetic flavors. Instead, we use stevia, a natural sweetener that comes from the leaves of the Stevia Rebaudiana plant. This plant is also called honey herb.

This unique plant grows mainly in South America, especially in Paraguay and Brazil, where it has been used as a sweetener by the local population for centuries. Stevia is up to 450 times sweeter than sugar. This allows us to create a wonderfully mild, sweet taste with a very small amount, without having to add sugar.

Complete amino acid profile
While all protein sources contain essential amino acids, the ratios in which they occur vary. Proteins with a complete amino acid profile have these amino acids in the exact ratios that your body needs.

Elite Whey Protein has a complete amino acid profile and therefore supplies all essential amino acids in exactly the right proportions.

BCAAs in 2:1:1 ratio
Three of the essential amino acids deserve some extra attention: the BCAAs. Leucine, isoleucine and valine stand out because of their branched structure, which gives them the name branched chain amino acids. These amino acids are an important building block for protein synthesis. That is why we have added extra BCAAs to Elite Whey Protein, on top of the BCAAs that the isolate-hydrolysate mix already contained. As a result, a scoop contains no less than 7.3 grams of BCAAs.

Added lactase helps with lactose digestion
Lactose is a sugar that is naturally present in milk. When producing cheese, a large part of the lactose ends up in the whey. In our body, lactose is broken down by the enzyme lactase. When this enzyme is not produced or is insufficiently produced, people are less able to tolerate lactose.

For people who have difficulty digesting lactose, lactase is needed to digest lactose. That is why we have added lactase to Elite Whey, which promotes the breakdown of lactose.

High enzyme activity
When using an enzyme, not only the quantity is relevant. The special thing about enzymes is that they are not used up in a reaction, but continue to work continuously. That is why it is also important to look at the activity of enzymes, whether and how much lactose they can break down and how quickly. The lactase in Elite Whey has an enzyme activity of 160,000 FCC/gram. This breaks down 97-100% of the lactose.

Added proteases
For the digestion of proteins, other enzymes are used in our body, these are also called proteases. These enzymes cut the long protein chains into smaller pieces.

Activity of 800 LAPU/g
A distinction is made between endo- and exopeptidases. Endopeptidases cut in the middle of a protein chain, while exopeptidases can cut at the ends. We have added both variants to Elite Whey with a high enzyme activity of 800 LAPU/g or 8,000 PCU/g.

Elite Whey, Creatine & fruit
Want to get the most out of your workout? Combine Elite Whey with a creatine product and fast-digesting carbohydrates, such as certain fruits. This mix ensures improved creatine absorption, because carbohydrates and proteins cause an insulin peak that absorbs the creatine faster in your muscles.
