Whey
Protein
Over
the years I've tried many whey
protein powder supplements. Some have tasted terrible, some were
difficult
to mix and the results from product to product varied. With so many
supplement
companies producing their own brands of product, it's difficult to
decide
which brand to choose. So which one is right for you? I've put together
this short article to help you determine what to look for when
purchasing
a whey protein supplement and which brand I prefer.
Designer
Whey which I am currently
using at the moment, in my opinion, is the best overall product on the
market. Designer Whey seems to produce the quickest lean muscle gains
in
the shortest amount of time, has faster workout recovery times for your
muscles - I'm rarely sore after hard workouts - and in the long run,
helps
you to increase your power and strength. It's also 97% lactose free.
Ideal
for most of you who are lactose intolerant. It comes in several great
flavors,
it's easy to mix and tastes great - either alone in water or mixed with
fruit juices. I prefer mixing it with cranberry juice.
For
optimal results it's recommended
that you use Designer Whey 2-3 times a day, 1 to 3 scoops per serving.
The amount you use depends of course on your weight training or workout
program, body weight, metabolism, diet and recovery needs. If you're
just
looking to develop muscle and look great after working out, one serving
a day is fine provided you eat well-balanced meals.
Why
is Designer Whey so effective?
Here
are the technical reasons as well
as facts as provided by the company:

building
