The Benefits of Whey Protein
Protein serves as a dietary source of amino acids. The body needs amino acids to build the various proteins used in the growth, repair and maintenance of body tissues such as skin, bones and muscles.

Whey protein offers the benefits of supplying high nutritional value and branched chain amino acids (BCAA) to athletes. BCAA are essential amino acids, which are part of muscle protein. They may preserve muscle glycogen stores and help reduce the amount of protein breakdown during exercise. Additionally, the natural components of whey help to enhance the body;s production of glutathione, a natural antioxidant, which may provide dietary support to the immune system. Whey also yields a high biological value, which measures usable grams of amino acids used by the body after intense exercise.

Depending on your athletic goals, your protein requirements can vary. Inadequate protein in your diet can limit muscle protein synthesis which can compromise your athletic goals. The amino acids from whey protein move quickly through the digestive system. The consumption of these proteins will result in a rapid rise in blood amino acids and stimulate protein synthesis.

Pro Performance Quality
This advanced protein supplement is instantized making it easy-to-mix and dissolve quickly water. It's also low temperature treated, which delivers one of the highest quality forms of whey protein.Because the body requires protein as a source of amino acids, Pro Performance 100% Whey Protein supplementation is important for all athletes who seek an increased protein intake while working out. Pro Performance 100% Whey Protein supplies high-quality protein to meet these needs.

Ive never had a whey powder give me such horrible gas! The body fortress brand at walmart is superior for nearly half the price, and tastes better with more protein. Thought id try something different, and sorry that i did!

As many of us, when we are getting started and walk into GNC, the salesman offer us two options, Muscletech and GNC lines. I've got two different flavors of this whey since I thought GNC would be higher quality.

From my experience GNC 100% Whey is poor, the ingredient profile is not a bad one but its more bad than good. The macros i decent for a bulk but for a cut, it makes a doubt. The prices are higher everytime I see them for some reason and the flavors, oh well..

Caramel - 8/10 - Actually for my surprise the Caramel flavor went very good, it surprised me and it exceeded my expectations.
Banana - 2/10 - I couldn't and still can't believe how awful this flavor is. Is the worst flavor I've tried from a Whey protein powder. It leaves a bitter, chemical aftertaste so bad, that its almost impossible to get in. When I saw people throwing away their Whey (mixed brands) because of taste, I was like WTF! but now, I understand them very well.

In my opinion, this is not worth a shot, MUCH and MANY better options out there.

Chocolate Caramel

With 2.5 grams of fat and 5g carbs, this isn't the best choice for Whey, but it will do. The Chocolate Caramel taste is pretty good, just enough sweetness without being overpowering. Points for being unique, as this isn't a flavor I've found elsewhere. However, the worst part, as with all GNC products, is the price. Way more expensive than anything else unless you get it on sale.

Banana Cream

This has only 1.5g fat and 4g carbs, so a little better profile, but that's not the most important thing. What is? The taste. This is great, strong banana flavor but definite creaminess, tastes just like banana pudding. Solid mixability, even though Joe Bro at GNC told me it was a bit "gritty" (great salesman). Again, overpriced unless on sale - GNC favors the Buy One, Get one 50% off, as it makes you buy more than you wanted, but you end up getting a semi-reasonable price.

Cookies and Cream

I'm not rich enough to afford Isolate all the time, but when whey starts having five or more grams of carbs per serving I tend to get a little irritated. This has 5, with 20 grams of protein per scoop and 1.5g fat. Not the worst profile ever, but could be better. It doesn't help that the taste of this isn't really all that great. As with all GNC purchases, I got this because I had a coupon, but I'll probably take it back and get a different flavor tomorrow.
