The best protein supplement comes from milk. Milk is made up of 80% casein protein and 20% whey protein. Most Whey protein is actually a liquid byproduct of making cheese. Whey protein can also be derived right from the milk. All of the casein protein has been removed and all is left is the whey with its valuable immune boosting nutrients. Whey protein is the most bioavailable protein with a biological value of 104. Whey is considered a complete protein high in 9 essential amino acids and 3 branch chain amino acids. Whey is one of the most studied supplements in the nutrition world. Grass fed Whey protein contains all of the body building amino acids essential to your diet plus all the amazing immune building properties. Whey protein is available in three supplement forms : as concentrates (WPC), isolates (WPI)or hydrolysates(WPH). Whey concentrates are minimally processed, containing 30-90% protein, with small amounts of lactose and fat. Isolates have no fat or lactose and offer a minimum of 90% protein. Hydrolysates are the most processed form of whey protein that is partially pre digested for easier absorption. Multiple studies indicate that whey protein supports muscle growth, strength and aids in fat loss. Whey protein also has some strong immune building properties. Whey protein is far superior to casein, soy hemp, or any other plant or animal based proteins for nutritional support of muscle synthesis. However all whey protein isn't created equal. Dr Michael Lange a Board Certified Optometric Physician and Certified Nutrition Specialist became fascinated with whey protein when he found many of his macular degeneration patients were deficient in glutathione. He found one of the best ways to stimulate glutathione was by having his patients drink a grass fed whey protein concentrate. Many of these patients responded with less dry eye symptoms while consuming the whey protein. Dr Michael Lange of Fortifeye Vitamins and host of popular talk show called "Ask the Dr" says to look for 3 things when searching for the best whey protein supplement. Make sure the whey protein comes from American or New Zealand cows, the protein is non denatured and from grass fed cows. Learn more about Dr Michael Lange here: www.drmichaellange.com This site will discuss what makes a good whey protein and what type and brand is the best protein supplement on the market. looking for a post workout supplement to add to your whey then consider Fortifeye Fit the ultimate muscle fuel. here is a link to the post recovery supplement www.postrecoverysupplement.com
When searching for the best whey protein always make sure the label says "Grass Fed" on it. Most whey protein you can buy today at the typical vitamin store is derived from milk that comes from cows that are fed GMO grains that are very high in pro inflammatory omega six fatty acids. These cows are raised in over crowded feed lots and are fed hormones and antibiotics to enhance milk production. Consuming a whey protein that is not produced in ideal conditions will result in an inferior whey protein powder with potentially harmful properties. Grass fed cows typically have about 60% higher omega 3 in the milk vs non grass fed cows. This makes grass fed whey protein a much better and healthier alternative to non grass fed whey. This is another reason the best protein supplement is from grass fed whey protein. Grass fed pasture raised cows milk is much higher in (CLA) conjugated linoleic acid. CLA has proven to have some enormous health benefits and CLA from grass fed cows is 500% higher than non grass fed cows. This is another reason to pick a whey protein from grass fed cows. Two of the top areas in the world for raising grass fed milk cows are New Zealand and America. The best whey protein comes from cows that are grass fed year round in New Zealand or America. Fortifeye Performance Nutrition Team and Dr Michael Lange have developed two whey proteins that come from grass fed American cows and grass fed New Zealand cows. Fortifeye Super Protein is a whey protein concentrate from New Zealand Grass Fed Cows and Fortifeye Grass Fed Whey Isolate comes from American grass fed cows. Fortifeye Super Protein comes in 2 flavors ; Dark Chocolate Fudge and Vanilla. Fortifeye Grass Fed Whey Isolate comes in a 60 serving bag unflavored. All of the Fortifeye Performance Nutrition Proteins have non GMO sunflower lecithin that allows the protein to mix instantly in water with a shaker and do not need to be blended. Fortifeye Performance Nutrition Makes the best protein supplement in the industry.
Non denatured whey protein has not been altered with heat or harsh chemicals. Most milk coming from feed lot cows has been heated to over 200 degrees for over a half hour. This excess and prolonged heat denatures the protein and may effect the bio availability and the immune boosting properties. Immune building properties of whey protein is one of the major reasons to consume a whey daily. Whey protein is not only for building lean body mass and speedy recovery it is also a great way to stimulate a robust immune system. Fortifeye Super Protein and Fortifeye Grass Fed Whey Isolate go through a pasteurization process to preserve the delicate amino acids, covalent bonded cysteine, the immunoglobulins and lactoferrin. This process heats the milk to only 72 degrees Celsius for 15 seconds and can be called non denatured or un denatured whey protein. The Fortifeye Grass Fed Whey Isolate uses ultra and micro filtration instead of ion exchange to remove the fat, lactose, cholesterol and casein without denaturing it. A non denatured whey protein is one of the best ways to stimulate glutathione production. Glutathione is the master anti oxidant responsible for reduction of oxidative stress and detoxification of the body. When whey is non denatured a particular amino acid called cysteine is in a form that will combine with 2 other amino acids glutamate and glycine to form glutathione (master antioxidant). Glutathione levels drop as we age so promoting glutathione production is one of the best ways to support healthy aging. Non denatured whey protein also contains many health immune boosting proteins. These immune boosting protein in whey are Beta Lactoglobulin, Alpha Lactalbumin, Lactoferrin and Immunoglobulins all of which denaturing can render almost useless. Immunoglobulins are protective antibodies found in whey protein (IgG, IgA and IgM). Low levels of immunoglobulins are associated with frequent infections and higher risk of developing auto immune diseases. Both Fortifeye Super Protein and Fortifeye Grass fed whey isolate fit the requirements to be considered the best whey protein. They are both grass fed, non denatured and come from New Zealand and American free roaming pasture raised cows. Adding a whey protein to your anti aging regiment is a good way to promote healthy aging. You can see now that whey protein is the best protein supplement for a variety of evidence based reasons.
Whey protein is the most bio available quick acting easily digested form of protein.

Many athletes and bodybuilders use whey protein shakes and smoothies right after training to speed up muscle recovery and nutritionally maximize their training session. Whey works best after training when used with a carbohydrate to help replenish muscle glycogen and aid in recovery. The ultimate post recovery fuel would be Fortifeye Super Protein or Fortifeye Grass Fed Whey Isolate combined in a shaker with Fortifeye Fit. No need to blend simply shake and drink. Actually blending for long times can denature the protein and reduce its potential. Here is a link to the ultimate post recovery fuel called Fortifeye Performance Stacking Bundle.

Athletes and fitness gurus are always looking for the best protein supplement. Athletes are searching for the best pre workout supplement and best post workout supplement. Athletes have always sought a competitive edge on their path to victory with many failing and still searching. Many have taken supplements, but without any rhyme or reason, and therefore lacking in positive results. That is until the importance of a pre-workout supplement, and a post workout supplement, were researched and found to be the missing key. The foods and supplements we take before and after working out are the ingredients for a positive exercise session, and a total body recovery.
Before we go to the gym there are specific supplements and foods we should use to ensure the best workout session possible...2-3 hours before the workout begins you will need some power foods for energy, stamina and to protect muscle integrity. Protein and complex carbohydrates are best for this purpose...a Fortifeye Super Protein drink is perfect as your protein source and something as simple as a peanut butter sandwich, or turkey and cheese sandwich, on whole grain bread, will fuel your energy needs. I eat a small piece of fruit, most likely a banana, about 30 minutes before I get into the gym for those quick explosive energy carbohydrates. I also drink a full serving of Fortifeye FIT as my pre-workout drink, it has exactly what my body needs without the heavy sugar load, stimulants, caffeine, artificial flavoring and sweeteners. FIT does not cause my body to "drop out" like the other pre-workout drinks and energy drinks when their sugar and stimulants wear off. You need constant and stable energy throughout your workout, not the up and down rollercoaster ride of the energy drinks. There are 10 ingredients in FIT that were hand picked by two Sports Nutrition Doctors...the ingredients were researched and tested in the lab for their efficacy and direct influence on the entire body during both pre and post workout. All of the ingredients are dosed at a level that makes a difference...so many products only do minimal dosing so they can state it on the label, but really it's just window dressing. For post workout recovery, Fortifeye FIT is most certainly the choice of athletes because of one reason...IT WORKS! When FIT is combined with one of Fortifeye Performance Nutrition Proteins, you have the ultimate recovery fuel. Your body needs protein after the workout ends so it can begin the repair and recovery process. FIT with a scoop of Fortifeye Grass Fed Whey Isolate Protein is an ideal choice because it does not tax the digestive system like a solid food would do, therefore its fast acting and goes to work (repair and recovery) almost immediately. Creatine for building muscle mass and strength... Collagen for ligament and tendon repair... BCAAs for muscle integrity...Velositol, D Ribose and Cluster Dextrin for energy and stamina...Astaxanthin for inflammation reduction, plus additional ingredients that add to the total synergy. Both formulas mix great in just water, and in a shaker, no blender required. You train hard, you put in the time and you sacrifice, so why not receive the most from your training time? You need to set the training stage pre-workout, and the post recovery properly...do it, and see the positive difference.
