Arginine and citrulline for muscle pumping

Arginine and citrulline as nitric oxide donors promote accelerated delivery of nutrients throughout the body. This happens through the relaxation of the smooth muscles of the blood vessels, through which the blood subsequently flows faster and delivers more oxygen and other valuable substances with the blood plasma to all organs and tissues, incl. and to the muscles. By providing a greater flow of building material to muscle tissue, we promote their effective growth and recovery, as well as increase their strength potential.

How to use

Here are the basic admission rules:

• Regardless of the number of workouts, it is better to take it every day.
• Take 1-2 times a day (depending on how much protein you lack from regular food). 1 time in the morning, and the other in the afternoon.
• It is better to take immediately after training and/or between meals. But not at the same time as the main meal.
• It is better to dilute with milk. Possibly with water. The amount of liquid is a matter of taste and does not matter.
• You can add creatine, BCAA, gainer, and, in general, whatever you want to the protein.
• To obtain an effect, the duration of use must be at least a month.
• The maximum duration of treatment is unlimited. This means that you can use it for the rest of your life without interruption.

Dosage for 1 dose:

• Weighing up to 60 kg, 25-30 grams at a time.
• Weighing up to 80 kg, 30-40 grams at a time.
• Weighing up to 100 kg, 40-50 grams at a time.
• If you weigh more than 100 kg, 50-60 grams at a time.

Naturally, all dosages are indicated very roughly. And they largely depend on your overall activity, the amount of training, the number of protein meals, how much or little protein you eat from regular food, etc. You can calculate the exact portion here.

I advise you not to pay attention to the dosage indicated by the manufacturer. Since manufacturers can write completely different dosages for approximately the same proteins

As a rule, these are more or less adequate numbers (25 - 35 grams). But sometimes it reaches up to 100 grams.

Whey isolate with minimal fat and carbohydrates, lactose-free for muscle growth

Whey isolate is whey protein that is completely free of lactose, fat and carbohydrates during its production process. Therefore, it can be consumed by those who are lactose intolerant. It can also be used during drying or dieting, when there should be a minimum of carbohydrates in the diet. In sports nutrition, this is precisely why it is valued. It is absorbed quickly. It contains a higher portion of BCAA. By supplying yourself with this protein, you promote muscle growth, prevent catabolic processes from developing, and also make post-workout recovery faster.

COMPOUND.

An important thing to look for in isolate is the % fat and carbohydrate content, which shows us how different this protein really is from whey protein concentrate.

In the case of BioTech Iso Whey Zero, according to the information on the label, we have 6% carbohydrates with zero sugar content (1.5g of carbohydrates per 25g serving). Considering that technically lactose is a sugar, the content of 6% carbohydrates with 0 sugar is most likely incorrect information intended to justify the marketing positioning of the product. At the same time, the manufacturer’s website has completely different information: 3% carbohydrates, all of which are sugar (see screenshot on the left from the Biotech USA website). And this already seems to be true. Only in this case it is not clear what the word Zero does in the name of this isolate. The sugar content per serving is slightly less than 1 gram, based on which the manufacturer rounds down and states that there is no sugar at all in the serving of the product.

The fat content on the label for a 25 g portion is indicated as “less than 1 g”, trans fat 0. We look at the information on the manufacturer’s website: fat content is about 1%.

In general, whey protein concentrate (WPC 80 Lactomin, for example) contains 5% lactose and 6% fat. BioTech Iso Whey Zero contains 3% and 1% respectively. Comparing, we see how much fat and lactose was filtered out in the isolate. Well, for example, let’s compare the content of sugars and fats with the popular isolate Dymatize ISO-100: there is the same confusion and marketing gimmicks - on the manufacturer’s website they indicate zero fat and carbohydrate content per serving (28g), and on the label - 0.5g fat and 1 -2 grams of carbohydrates per serving, i.e. about 1.5% fat and 3-6% carbohydrates. The content of these nutrients can understandably fluctuate for different flavors (for example, when using cocoa, the % increases).

As a result, BioTech uses various tricks when communicating the carbohydrate and fat content of Iso Whey Zero, which, however, is typical of most isolate manufacturers on the market. In general, according to the criterion of purification from fats and lactose, the product is at a fairly high level. I can say for myself that the product definitely did not cause me any negative reactions that I sometimes have to milk sugar.

Although BioTech Iso Whey Zero is stated as an isolate, its protein matrix also consists of hydrolyzate (!!) and concentrate (??) of whey protein, and also added BCAA (!!!).

The manufacturer provides the amino acid profile of BioTech Iso Whey Zero. Well done, not all manufacturers provide this information. Looking at the profile, we see that the % BCAA content is almost 22. A very respectable figure. For Optimum Nutrition Gold Whey Standard this figure is about 18%.

BioTech Iso Whey Zero uses E955 as a sweetener, i.e. sucralose.

TASTE.

In general, there were 7 flavors in the line at the time of writing this review:

• Banana
• Chocolate
• Mango+Pineapple
• Vanilla
• Strawberry
• Tiramisu
• Coconut

I tried 2 flavors of BioTech Iso Whey Zero: chocolate and strawberry.

Chocolate. I was surprised by the strange thickness, unusual for whey protein. At first this even arouses suspicion, but when you see thickeners in the composition, you calm down. I would rate the Chocolate taste of BioTech Iso Whey Zero at 7/10. The taste, forgive me BioTech, was a little reminiscent of chocolate whey Pure Protein, but in an improved version☺. It dissolves normally in a shaker with a mesh, but without a mesh there are small lumps, plus a moderate level of foam that quickly falls off.

Strawberry. There was no excessive density here. The taste is very good, I can compare it with strawberry Olimp Whey Complex, while I would rate Iso Whey even a little higher. Also, like Olimp Whey, there is a pleasant sourness. My rating for this BioTech Iso Whey Zero flavor is 9/10. Solubility is the same as that of chocolate - there are a few unbroken lumps left, but for me this is not important. Moderate foam formed during stirring.

PRICE.

BioTech Iso Whey Zero is available in the following packaging:

• Single packages 25g
• Packages 500g
• Cans 908g
• Cans 2270g

Large jars are rarely found in stores. Single servings are too expensive, suitable only for testing. If we compare 500g and 908g, taking 0.5kg bags is definitely more profitable; their price at the time of writing this review (July 2015) in Russian online stores was about 1000 rubles, i.e. 2000 rubles per 1 kg BioTech Iso Whey Zero. Comparing again with Dymatize ISO-100, I can say that the average price per 1 kg of the products is approximately comparable.

RESULTS OF THE REVIEW.

BioTech Iso Whey Zero is a fairly high-quality whey protein isolate from a Hungarian manufacturer, which, like isolates from most manufacturers, suffers from marketing ploys in order to make the buyer think that it contains no fat or carbohydrates at all. In general, this is a fairly high quality product, containing, in addition to whey protein isolate, also hydrolyzate and concentrate, as well as specially added BCAA. The price of BioTech Iso Whey Zero is at the average market level. The advantages of BioTech USA, as a manufacturer of this product, include compliance with GMP food quality standards and HACCP food safety standards.

Efficiency

This protein belongs to the category of high-protein (isolate), since it contains more than 80% protein. Therefore, it can be used for the following purposes:

1. For weight loss. In this case, part of the usual food is replaced with protein, which allows you to increase the amount of protein per day. And the amount of fats and carbohydrates decreases.
2. Increased muscle mass. Well, everything is clear here. Muscles are made of protein (amino acids). And if your diet contains enough carbohydrates but not enough protein (and in most cases this is the case), then protein will come in handy.
3. Just as a source of amino acids. Including the essential ones: BCAAs and others.

In addition to the above, you need to take into account that this protein is a whey protein. That is, it is quickly absorbed. This means that it contains quite a lot of BCAAs and is well suited for taking immediately after training.

Whey Protein - Benefits

Are you wondering why whey protein is the basis of quality sports nutrition? Remember, there are no coincidences in this industry. Whey protein has excellent digestibility. That is why it does not linger in the stomach and is quickly absorbed. This is the best form of express delivery of building materials for building bigger and stronger muscles. This is because whey protein stimulates the production of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1). Thanks to this, the effects of the muscle anabolism process are felt much faster.

Since BIOTECH Iso Whey Zero is an isolate, this means that it can be used by people who cannot digest the milk sugar, lactose. It turns out that intolerance to this ingredient is becoming more common, and yet not everyone knows about it.
