Halo Pro: The Protein Shake of elite athletes

Halo Pro: The Protein Shake of elite athletes

When it comes to nutrition, getting the right balance of protein in your diet is essential for almost any fitness goal, whether you want to lose weight, gain weight or maintain, protein is your friend. And one way to make sure you're getting the protein your body needs is by incorporating protein shakes into your daily routine. 


These shakes are a foundation for many athletes in the world of health and fitness, providing a convenient and effective way to boost your protein intake. But not all protein powders are created equal. In this blog post, we're going to dive into the world of protein shakes and focus on two popular options: Whey Protein Isolate and Whey Protein Hydrolysate, and how you can experience the benefits of both.


Whey Protein Isolate (WPI): 


Whey Isolate is a favorite among fitness enthusiasts and lactose intolerant individuals. Isolate contains at least 90% pure protein, making it one of the most concentrated protein sources available. It's created through an additional purification process that removes almost all of the carbohydrates and fats, leaving you with a nearly pristine source of protein.


The benefits of whey isolate are clear. With its high protein content and minimal additives, it's an excellent choice for those looking to increase their protein intake without adding extra calories or unwanted macronutrients. Whether you're looking to build muscle, support your recovery, or simply meet your daily protein requirements, whey isolate is a fantastic option.


Whey Protein Hydrolysate (WPH):


Whey hydrolysate undergoes a different process than whey isolate. It's treated with acids, enzymes, or heat, which further break down the protein into peptides and amino acids. This pre-digestion of protein makes whey hydrolysate a standout choice for those seeking rapid absorption and digestion.


The magic of whey hydrolysate lies in its ability to quickly deliver essential amino acids to your muscles. This speedy delivery is thanks to the high concentration of amino acids in the plasma. This results in enhanced muscle protein synthesis, which is essentially the process of building and repairing muscle tissue. Whey Hydrolysate is like the express lane for amino acids to reach your muscles, helping you recover faster and potentially promote muscle growth more efficiently.


The Best of Both Worlds


If you were looking for a protein powder that offers the best of both, NPL has the answer. Halo Pro is a uniquely designed whey protein made up of 70% whey isolate and 30% whey hydrolysate. What this does when consumed is provide your muscles with readily available and easily used amino acids and protein from the hydrolysate, while the whey isolate has a slightly longer absorption time giving you the benefits of rapid and extended absorption.
