Benefits of Pain Meds/Supplements

Works for: Building muscle, boosting immune system, weight loss, overall athletic health

Product Resources

Most protein powders are not all that great tasting. This particular protein powder comes highly recommended by several athletes I interviewed for its taste and effectiveness. What we at sportsmedinfo like about it is the ingredients. No artificial sweetners that have that chemical taste. It is sweetened with all natural stevia, making it worthy for those who have to watch sugar intake.

Whey Factors is considered the gold standard for athletes and the physically fit. It is well-known that whey protein has the highest biological value, a measurement of how well a protein retains nitrogen, or how usable it is to the body. High nitrogen absorption enhances muscle gain and benefits your immune system, keeping you healthy to participate in events for which you've trained so hard.

No sugar, No artificial sweetners and mixes well.

Less expensive whey protein powders are often heated during processing, denaturing the amino acid chains. This process should not happen in the factory. Basically, that kind of processing reduces the quality of the protein powder. The quality of Whey Factors' ingredients is superior to most protein powders out there and there are a lot of them touting enormous claims.

Secondly, it mixes easily in milk and doesn't get all lumpy. Some of them are impossible to mix.

Benefits

  • Excellent source of easy to digest protein
  • Aids in weight loss
  • May benefit those with borderline hypertension
  • Helps to balance cholesterol levels
  • Ideal for added nutrition for infants and toddlers
  • Helps maintain strong muscles and bone density
  • Supports lean muscle mass while promoting fat loss

But best of all it tastes good and not just tolerable. Some of them have that 'oversweet' flavor typical of fructose. The stevia in this is nice and smooth without that hyper sweetened taste.

Flavors are Unflavored (obviously not a flavor), French Vanilla, Double Chocolate, Matcha Green Tea and Strawberry. We'll have to admit we've not tried the Green Tea flavor nor had any of the athletes and one senior either. It does sound a bit questionable. We'll have to see if any other reviewers out there have given that one a test drive.

High density, high quality protein

This low carbohydrate protein powder contains no growth hormones. Of course if you mix it with regular and not organic milk, you do have growth hormones but it doesn't come in the mix.

Whey Factors is an excellent dietary source of protein for athletes but also for any active adults, children, the elderly or anyone who needs to boost their protein and vitamin intake and therefore boost the immune system.

Low in lactose, and with only 1 gram of digestible carbohydrates per serving, you get the highest percentage of protein per gram of whey. Anti-inflammatory bromelain and other enzymes make Whey Factors easy to digest. (You can see our review on bromelain here.)

Shed unwanted pounds

Because it does promote a feeling of fullness, people often shed unwanted pounds. Protein generally increases a sense of fullness more than fat, therefore decreasing your total calorie intake.

The body also requires more energy to digest protein, so it burns more calories after a high-protein meal. Whey is also rich in leucine, an essential amino acid that may preserve lean muscle mass while promoting fat loss.

Mixing Directions

Mix 1 scoop (20 g) in a 6 fluid ounces or more of water and shake in a shaker cup. Use 1-3 times per day or as directed by a health professional. Serving Option: Try Whey Factors mixed in milk or your favorite beverage; soy, rice or almond milk. Whey Factors tastes delicious!

Contraindications

Whey Factors powder drink mix is not expected nor does it have a history of adverse effects. It is generally considered safe for use by children.

If concerned, speak with a health care practitioner prior to use. If you are pregnancy or nursing, whey is ideal for the pregnant woman as pregnancy increases the body's need for protein. As always, do speak with your health care practitioner prior to use. There are no known special precautions for seniors.

At sportsmedinfo.net, we don't take hundreds of products and rate them. We take recommendations from athletes and then we research it and interview. Of all the protein powders out there, this one was a consistent favorite for those who had tried it. 'Nothing can compare' was a phrase we heard more than once. Taste was a big factor as was the quality of the protein. In short, people felt the difference.

And on a side note, it did not make me gaseous. One of the few that does not. I'm not sure if that will be the case for you but in general, we did not get that complaint from our reveiwers.

As an athlete, registered nurse and personal trainer, I have tried many protein powders. They either tasted "chemically enhanced", gritty, didn't mix well, made me bloated or was hard to swallow. Whey factors had none of those problems and tastes delicious! I recommend this to anyone that is searching for a whey protein drink. I even list it on my website, www.catsanson.com

I do not love protein or protein powders. But I had to lose some weight and get more protein in my diet. This is more than tolerable and mixes well. Great for my morning smoothies and I'm down 10 pounds!
