VPX Zero Carb Protein (908g)

VPX Zero Impact Protein FAQ

• Why supplement your nutrition program with protein?
  • Protein exerts the release of many powerful muscle building (growth hormone and IGF-I) and fat burning (glucagon, GH, etc) hormones. It is also necessary to build and repair muscle tissue. Frequent consumption of high quality lean proteins help maintain a lean muscular physique.
• What is VPX's Zero Carb Protein "Super Protein"?
  • Zero Carb Protein is a 100% Whey Protein Isolate. Some other proteins contain whey protein concentrate or WPC. Whey Protein Isolate or WPI is not only much purer than WPC's, but also may have a higher biological value (BV). BV is a number representative of how much of a specific protein your body can retain (nitrogen retention) and utilize for functions such as hormone production, muscle growth, release of stored bodyfat (through glucagon) to use and burn as energy, etc. The higher the Biological Value the protein is, the greater its’ capacity is to complete these functions. Whey protein isolate may have a 34% higher Biological Value than whey protein concentrate.
• What advantages does enhancing VPX's Zero Carb Protein with di, tri and quadrapeptide isolates and glutamine peptides?
  • Studies have shown that short chains of amino acids called peptides are more readily absorbed by the body than are free form amino acids or high molecular weight proteins. Peptides are the body’s preferred way to utilize protein. Zero Carb Protein is currently the only whey protein isolate enhanced with whey peptide isolates. Whey Peptide Isolates are derived from Whey Protein Isolate. Whey peptide hydrolysates are found in other proteins that are derived from lesser grade whey concentrate. Whey peptide isolates may have made whey peptide hydolysates obsolete. Glutamine peptides could be 16 times more bioavailable than L-Glutamine. Again, because peptides, not free form aminos (an amino preceded by the letter L), are the body’s preferred way to utilize protein. Although inferior assay methods could not test for glutamine peptides in WPI we now know that VPX Zero Carb Protein is naturally saturated with glutamine peptides even before it's enhanced with additional glutamine peptides. Scientists agree that glutamine plays a vital role in muscle size and growth.
• What is "Microfraction Selection Technology"?
  • Microfraction Selection Technology (MST) is the result of using four different Whey Protein Isolate processing methods in order to increase the amount of specific microfractions (smaller parts that make up a protein) researched to have favourable functional properties. For example, IGF-I or Insulin Growth Factor I is a smaller part or microfraction of Whey Protein Isolate. IGF-I is a powerful hormone (naturally found in WPI) that, among many other advantages, is extremely effective in stimulating muscle growth and in burning fat. MST is VPX's scientific breakthrough that allows them to increase specific microfractions like IGF-I, IGF II, glycomacropeptides, bovine serum albumin, etc... Although they have uncovered many mysteries in isolating more effective microfraction components with the use of MST, VPX’s Zero Carb Protein Super Protein will continue to evolve as science reveals new information with MST.
