3 TYPES OF WHEY PROTEIN - COMPREHENSIVE BODY SUPPORT FOR BUILDING MUSCLE MASS

Discover the ingredients of DUOLIFE Protein Shake

Formula containing 3 protein types: WPI, WPH, WPC is a universal form of whey high-protein nutrient combining the features of quickly assimilated proteins with those which assimilate more slowly. The blend of whey hydrolysate, isolate and concentrate provides our muscles with varying absorption and assimilation times. In terms of digestion, each of these proteins is characterised by a different rate of energy release and delivery to our metabolism.

Figure 1: Beneficial synergistic action of the mixture of 3 types of whey protein – prolonged protein supply up to 3 h after workout: Directly after the intake, whey protein hydrolysate (WPH) is absorbed. Then about one hour after the intake, whey protein isolate (WPI) digestion starts and lasts another hour. Further protein supply to the body is provided by whey protein concentrate (WPC) - its digestion takes up to about 2 hours after consumption.

WATTS’UP^®** and Palatinose^™* - support for power and performance during physical activity

Figure 2: Effect of 4-week WATTS’UP®* supplementation on mean peak power. Based on¹.

Figure 3: Peak power increase during the first five seconds of activity. Based on¹.

The Wingate anaerobic test ^*** showed increased mean anaerobic power in the group taking 400 mg WATTS’UP ^®*, which was significantly different (^***p<0.001) compared to the placebo group (Figure 2).

Furthermore, peak strength during the first 5 seconds of exercise was shown to significantly increase after 4 weeks of supplementation with 400 mg WATTS’UP^®** compared to placebo (p^*=0.020), corresponding to a 7.5% increase (Figure 3).

^***Wingate’s anaerobic test is widely used to measure anaerobic power output. It was conducted using Wattbike Pro (Wattbike Ltd, Nottingham, UK). The Wattbike resistance system was equipped with an air resistance flywheel with a shift lever adjustable from 1 (low) to 10 (high). The tests took place at the High-Performance Center at TopSport Limburg in Sittard.

Figure 4: Changes in blood glucose levels after consuming sucrose (sugar) and Palatinose™.

Consuming foods/drinks that contain isomaltulose instead of sugar leads to a smaller increase in blood glucose levels after consumption as compared to foods/drinks that contain sugar.

^*Isomaltulose (Palatinose^TM) is a source of glucose and fructose.
