My Favorite Bodybuilding Protein Supplements
April 29, 2009 by Gain Muscle Mass · Leave a Comment
When it comes to bodybuilding protein supplements, there are certainly a lot to choose from these days! From the fancy (and expensive ) whey protein isolates to the less glamorous whey protein concentrates and all the proprietary blends in between, it’s hard to decide which protein powder is even worth a shot. In order to help, I’ve highlighted a few of my favorite bodybuilding protein supplements with a brief explanation as to why I like them.
Before you decide to buy any protein supplement, you owe it to yourself to do bit of research. Not all bodybuilding protein powders are created equally! While some of the better known brands are fine, others cut corners by producing cheaply made and inferior quality whey protein.
My Favorite Bodybuilding Protein Supplements…
1.) AST’s Vp2 Whey Protein Isolate – I have been training hard and heavy for over 17 years now. Along the way I have tried nearly every bodybuilding protien supplement on the market. While most of the protein powders I tried either tasted funky or simpy didn’t work out for me, I can honsetly say that I’ve never hade a bad expereince with AST’s Vp2. This is my favorite whey protein supplement on the market – hands down!
What is Vp2?
Here’s what AST says about Vp2…
VP2 is a premium Hydrolyzed Whey Protein Isolate, using the advanced protein technologies, “Micro-Fraction-Isolation” (MFITM) and “Controlled Chymotrypsin-Trypsin Hydrolysis” (CCTHTM) designed to isolate specific and potent individual protein fractions. Once isolated, these potent protein fractions are then cleaved into precise peptide lengths for scientifically proven higher nitrogen retention. This entire process is performed under cool, non-acidic conditions to ensure protein integrity. VP2TM is a precision protein formulation formulated to yield an “amino-specific” nutrient profile designed to increase muscle nitrogen absorption and retention to support lean muscle growth and repair. Now with absorption enhancing AminogenTM, VP2TM is optimized for better protein absorption. AminogenTM research shows this increased absorption rate raises levels of free amino acids, Branched-Chain Amino Acid levels (BCAAs), Arginine, and Glutamine better than without the patented enzy.
Vp2 will help you pack on some serious muscle mass if used as a post workout recovery meal immediately following your training session. This protein is fast acting and can shoot muscle building ntrients directly into your hungy muscles.
2.) Optimum Nutrition’s 100% Whey Protein Gold Standard – This muscle buildind protein supplement is a close second to Vp2 due to it’s incredible flavor and high quaity ingedients. If you’re concernd wth flavor as much as muscle building power – then this is the protein supplement for you. Made for and marketed to the general poblic, 100% whey protein gold is a a great tasting whey protein supplement that can help your body get the nutritnets it needs quickly, easily and hassle free!
What is 100% Whey Protein Gold Standard?
Optimum Nutrition’s 100% Whey Protein Gold Standard is a complete whey protein isolate powder that mixes easily and tastes great! Each scoop of 100% Whey Protein Gold Standard contains 24 grams of protein, only 2-3 grams of carbohydrates, 1.5 grams of fat and minimal lactose, the choice of brand is clear, now to decide what flavor and size! Optimum’s 100% Whey Protein comes in 1, 2 and 5 pound containers and is available in Double Rich Chocolate, Chocolate Mint, Cookies and Cream, Strawberry and Vanilla.
If taste is as important to you as protein quality, then this is the protein for you. Not only is it packed with high quality whey protein isiolates, but it mixes easily and tasted great!
Both of these bodybuildinng protein supplements are great choices for both pre and post workout nutrition, as well as general protein supplementation. Both contain high quality whey protain isolates and mix easily and thoroughly. If you’re looking for a go-to whey protein supplement either of these products should fit the bill!
