Whey Protein Based Meal Replacement

Taste it and you'll have a tough time believing that something this nutritious can be this delicious. But trust us, it is. At the Core of ON's Whey Gold Meal is the same proprietary, time tested blend of whey protein isolates, concentrates and hydrolysates found in ON's best selling 100% Whey Protein. In fact these are the only proteins you'll find in ON's Whey MRP.

Unlike other meal replacement products (MRP's) which often contain whole milk, and or/soy proteins, ON's Whey Gold Meal uses only the highest quality whey proteins. As literally millions of satisfied 100% Whey Protein customers will attest, quality whey proteins are so good, they should be tops on every athlete's list.

Highest scoring Not all proteins are created equal. Some are more difficult to digest and absorb. Many are low in one or more of the essential amino acids. Others are poorly assimilated by the body. Protein scoring systems including biological value (BV), protein digestibility corrected amino acids score (PDCAAS), and protein efficiency ratio (PER) are often used to help classify various protein types based on amino acid "patterns", digestibility and the degree to which the body can actually use the protein for growth and rebuilding. Of all the proteins out there, whey ranks highest in all measure of protein quality. Whey protein is rich in all essential amino acids, rapidly digested and easily assimilated by the body.

Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's) Whey protein is one of nature's best sources of the three branched chain amino acids: leucine, isoleucine and valine. BCAA's are unique in that they can be  directly metabolized by muscle tissues to serve as an important fuel source during strenuous physical activity.

Unique Micro fractions Whey proteins are actually comprised of several smaller proteins or peptides called "micro fractions". Among other things, scientists believe that these micro  fractions may aid with appetite control and act as powerful antioxidants, making them potentially valuable to athletes and dieters alike.

Glutamine and Glutamine Precursors Comprising over 60% of the total amino acids in the skeletal muscle "pool" and over 20% of total circulating amino acids, glutamine is the most abundant amino  acid in the human body. Though glutamine is considered a conditionally essential amino acid (CAA), stressful conditions like extreme physical exertion may exceed the body's ability to synthesize it from other compounds. When this occurs, plasma glutamine levels may fall and the immune system can be suppressed. Optimum Nutrition's Whey MRP is a great source of the important amino acid with naturally occurring glutamine and glutamine precursors accounting for over 16% of the total protein per serving.

Rapid Delivery Whey proteins are some of the fastest digesting proteins on the planet. This tremendous attribute becomes particularly useful a short time before a workout when you want nutrients in your system - not in your stomach. Rapid amino acid delivery is also key immediately following your workout, when your liver and muscles are primed for recovery and glycogen re-synthesis.

As you'd expect, ON's Whey MRP is quick, convenient and precise. No measuring, minimal clean up and always just the right amount of calories, protein, quality carbs and satiating lipids. Additionally, ON's Whey MRP provides 25 vitamins and minerals and 12-17% of the Daily Value for dietary fibre in every serving.
