Gaspari Myofusion Protein

Protein powders are a convenient and often a very cost effective way, of getting easily digestible protein into your diet. This is especially relevant to athletes, bodybuilders and active individuals. Gaspari Nutrition’s MyoFusion protein is a great tasting blend of four different types of proteins along with some healthy fats. It makes a great breakfast protein shake, to go along with oats or other cereals.

Myofusion’s Athlete’s Edge Complete Protein Blend includes Cross-Flow, Cold Infused Whey Protein Concentrate, Cross-Flow, Cold Infused, Microfiltered Whey Protein Isolate, Egg Albumin, Milk Protein Isolate. These are all high quality protein sources, in that cross flow, cold infused filtration is a gentle process that keeps a lot of the beneficial whey microfractions intact. The healthy fats in Myofusion’s Pro-Compliance Lipid Complex are in the form of Cold-Processed Sunflower Oil Powder, Micro-Encapsulated Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) and Cold-Processed Flax Seed Oil Powder. With the lipids (fats), cold processing should prevent them from oxidizing and going rancid.

Dymatize Elite Whey

Protein is an important building block, the majority of which should be attained from one’s diet. Supplementing with protein powders is an easy way to get the extra protein required by active individuals. Whey protein is manufactured using sweet whey, which is a by-product of the cheese making industry. The sweet whey is put through various filtering processes to remove the fat and sugar (lactose), leaving protein. Whey has a very high PER (protein efficiency ratio) and BV (biological value).

Dymatize Elite Whey is a popular whey protein supplement. Its main ingredients are whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, whey peptides and digestive enzymes. Though its a proprietary blend, the fact that it only has 5mg of cholesterol per serving leads me to believe that it predominantly consists of whey protein isolate. found that this protein powder mixed very easily, even when just using a fork. For those using a shaker bottle, mixing Dymatize whey is extremely easy. It had no lumps at all.
