Specially Selected High Quality New Zealand Protein Products
NZ Whey Protein
Whey protein is a high
quality protein powder that's rich in amino acids and Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs). It comes from milk and is a by-product of the cheese making process. It has a naturally creamy texture and is the best tasting protein.
Whey protein is fast digesting and easily absorbed by the gut. It's highly nutritious and, coupled with its concentrated amino acid profile, is one of the most beneficial dietary sources of protein for muscle growth and repair - especially for pre and post exercise.
Our whey is the most popular supplement choice for athletes, fitness models, bodybuilders, and those wanting to lose weight or just add more protein to their diet.
BCAAs NZ
NZ Protein's Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) is a 2:1:1 blend of the amino acids L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine respectively.
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and these three branched chain amino acids make up about 1/3 of amino acids present in our body. The body cannot produce them so they must be obtained from dietary consumption.
While other amino acids are metabolised in the liver, branched chain amino acids are metabolised in muscle.
BCAAs can be depleted from muscle under intense training or dieting, and a deficiency in any one of them may cause muscle loss (catabolism). Exercise can increase BCAA requirements.
This product is vegan - all amino acids are derived from plant source.
Collagen Powder NZ
This product is hydrolysed collagen peptides. Collagen is the connective tissue that accounts for up to 30% of proteins in our body.
It is the most important structural protein in our body and the primary protein in connective tissue such as bones, tendons, ligaments and cartilage. Collagen makes up 90% of connective tissue, 90% of organic bone mass, and 70% of our skin.
Collagen is made primarily of three amino acids - proline, hydroxyproline and glycine. Glycine and proline are 10-20 times more concentrated than in other proteins and collagen has a unique structure that can't be found anywhere else.
This unique structure means collagen protein has unique functional properties over other proteins such as whey and casein, partially attributing to joint health, gut health, muscle growth, and an overall glowing appearance.
