Whey Protein Isolate Chocolate Flavor
Brand: Tad The Diet Coach
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
This formula utilizes 100% Cold-Filtered Ion Exchange Whey Isolate. At a cellular level, the ion-exchange process purifies the protein, removing non-protein components to ensure rapid bioavailability. Upon digestion, peptides from Whey Isolate stimulate muscle protein synthesis (mPS) by activating the mTOR pathway. This triggers amino acid uptake into muscle cells, essential for repairing micro-tears caused by exercise. The inclusion of Stevia provides sweetness without spiking insulin, while Natural Flavors enhance palatability. The high concentration of Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) in the isolate supports nitrogen retention, anabolic state maintenance, and recovery efficiency.
