Kaged uses sucralose as a sweetener in addition to stevia, so you might not be thrilled if you’re trying to avoid artificial sweeteners. F25586DE-CB72-482D-B862-33DAEE7DCEAD@1x C4452A98-7F9D-40EC-8A18-91AF9F85DE5E@1x FA7E02A4-E29D-4D4D-B7C7-CBC248D3926A@1x FA7E02A4-E29D-4D4D-B7C7-CBC248D3926A@1x

Customer Reviews

Leucine: Among the essential amino acids, leucine is directly involved in muscle protein synthesis and signals it to start. Whey naturally has it in abundance. While I can’t know with certainty the protein powder is the driving force behind my heavier lifts, I can’t deny there seems to be some connection. I grabbed heavier dumbbells for all my lifts, upper body and lower body, after months of hitting the same weights. Chest presses with 20-pound dumbbells felt hard but not impossible for a few sets, and I surprised myself with 15-pound shoulder presses. I even had to switch to single-leg deadlifts because I maxed out my at-home dumbbell stash. Not all cholesterol is bad, but if you need to watch your cholesterol, there’s only 15mg of cholesterol in here. Compare that with non-grass-fed proteins, which can have up to 70mg per serving. ISO100 HYDROLYZED is a super premium combination of hydrolyzed whey protein isolate and whey protein isolate – the most advanced formula from DYMATIZE. Through enzymatic hydrolysis whey protein is broken down partially into amino acid chains, which makes it very easy to digest. ISO100 HYDROLYZED is a perfect choice after and even before exhausting workouts. Free from sugar and fat with less than 116 kcal per serving when mixed with water. This is a simple ingredients list with no real surprises — just about every protein powder on the market has soy lecithin and sucralose, though most contain another artificial sweetener called acesulfame potassium.

Flavors: Milk Chocolate, Chocolate Peanut Butter, French Vanilla, Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie, Strawberry, Unflavored, Vanilla Peanut Butter, Mocha, Cinnamon French Toast Third-party testing for quality, purity, and sport safety gives peace of mind that the only ingredients in this protein are those on the label. Nearly half the protein comes from essential amino acids. (These are necessary for supporting muscle but are not produced by the body, so diet is the only way to get them.) You should speak with a dietitian before starting a weight loss regimen. Once you’ve done that, this product offers four delicious flavors, contains 26 grams of protein per scoop, and has little to no carbs, fat, or sugar, making it ideal if you’re trying to lose weight.This product’s Mexican Chocolate and Vanilla flavors are objectively tasty, making it less of a chore to drink your protein shakes. I got more adventurous as the days went on. I created new smoothie concoctions to fight off afternoon hunger pangs. Multiple days I grabbed the vanilla and dumped in whatever aging bag of spinach sat in the crisper or slightly freezer-burned mixed berries I had on hand. Try as I might, I couldn’t taste the spinach even though I added so much the smoothie was a brilliant green hue. Swolverine uses grass-fed whey which may be more humanely sourced and have a higher omega fatty acid content. As a lifelong chocoholic, I opted for two chocolate options (Gourmet Chocolate and Cocoa Pebbles). I added a Gourmet Vanilla for more mixing opportunities. In both flavors, one scoop provides 120 calories, 25 grams of protein, 2 grams of carbs (1 gram of sugar and no fiber), and 0.5 grams of fat. That results in a supplement that’s 4.8 calories per gram of protein. (The best score you can get there is 4 calories per gram of protein, which is possible if a protein has zero carbs and zero fat.)

While the type is a consideration, you’ll also want to think about price, along with flavor availability. Something else to keep on your radar when considering a whey isolate is the macro split and digestibility of the protein supplement you’re purchasing. Whey Isolate, Whey Concentrate, and Whey Hydrolysate The protein content is higher than average and almost all of the calories in each scoop are from protein.Hydrolized Whey Protein Isolate (Milk) (50%), Whey Protein Isolate (Milk) (46%), Emulsifiers (Sunflower Lecithin, Soy Lecithin), Flavouring, Salt, Sweeteners (Sucralose, Steviol Glycosides), Anti-foaming Agent (Dimethyl Polysiloxane) The added MCT oil allows the powder to retain creaminess when mixed with water. It may be a bit thin, but it still has a creamy consistency similar to oat or almond milk.
