Calcium is a mineral that plays an important role in the development of the human body. It is common knowledge that calcium is important in preventing osteoporosis. However, calcium also provides structural support in the development of muscles. Deficiency in calcium could cause obesity because it triggers the release of parathyroid hormone that stimulates the production of fats in the body and inhibits its breakdown. It also reduces the blood pressure. Calcium also has the ability to fight colon cancer by binding itself with cancer cells to inhibit its growth and progression. It is also beneficial to women suffering from PMS or premenstrual syndrome such as depression, mood swings, anxiety, water retention, breast tenderness, and headaches.

Egg Albumen is a high biological value protein that contains all essential and non-essential amino acids which are needed for growth and repair of tissue. It is fat free and contains negligible carbohydrates, but is rich in high-quality protein. One large egg’s white contains 4.7gm protein and 62 milligrams sodium. It has around 20 calories. Egg albumen provides essential vitamins and nutrients, like vitamin B. It can help lover cholesterol levels. Breakfast calories from egg white is more beneficial for weight loss than those same calories from a bagel since it provides protein and makes one feel fuller than if he had eaten carbohydrates.

Glutamine Peptides are a combination of two amino acids that are chemically combined. It is L-glutamine commonly bonded together with either L-alanine or L-glycine. Unlike amino acids, it is absorbed and transported through the system faster. Glutamine Peptides plays an important role in protein synthesis and improved protein metabolism. It prevents the breakdown of muscle, and helps in faster recovery of muscles after strenuous workout. It also helps in repairing and building of lean muscles. It increases the secretion of growth hormone levels that helps in metabolising body fat and formation of new muscles. Glutamine Peptides also help in improving the immune system.

Iron is a necessary mineral for humans, needed for example to help form red blood cells which transport oxygen around the body. Fortunately there are plenty of good sources available for both the omnivore and the vegetarian or vegan These include liver, meat, beans, nuts, dried fruit , also whole grains and many of dark green leafy vegetables, although some such as spinach also contain substances that prevent the absorption of iron as do caffeine based drinks such as tea and coffee. On the other hand the drinking of fluids containing vitamin C aids the body in its necessary task of absorbing iron.

Micellar Casein is obtained by separating milk through the process of ultra filtration. The gel like substance formed in the gut enables it to release amino acids at a steady pace into the blood stream. Taking micellar casein increases muscle growth which is necessary for recovery and gaining strength. It suppresses muscle breakdown because of its strong anti-catabolic effect. Athletics and bodybuilders take micellar protein for various reasons. Optimal muscle recovery takes place when constant supply of protein and nutrients are supplied to the body all through the day. Since micellar casein provides body proteins for nearly seven hours, it reduces muscle catabolism greatly. When taken with healthy fats like fish oil or flax oil digestion of micellar tends to get slow and the purpose of taking micellar casein is served.

Microparticulate Whey Protein Concentrate behaves like fats and is used in a variety of food products as fat substitutes. It is developed by heating and blending proteins at high temperature. Microparticulate Whey Protein Concentrate has high nutritional value. It is used in cheese, desserts, yoghurt, and ice cream in most low-fat dairy products. It helps in losing weight because of regulated fat intake. It also helps balance the cholesterol level and reduces the risk of cardiovascular problems. It helps in building and formation of lean muscles by burning the fats and using them as energy fuel.

Vitamin A is a vitamin is needed by the retina of our eye in the form of a specific metabolite, the light-absorbing molecule retinal. This molecule is absolutely necessary for both scotopic and color vision. It also palys an important role in mainating body health, such as skin health, bone metabolism and immune function. Vitamin A is also commercially produced and administered as esters such as retinyl acetate commonly called Vitamin A acetate. Its defeciency can cause blindness. Some other problems include impaired immunity, keratosis pilaris and squamous metaplasia of the epithelium lining the upper respiratory passages and urinary bladder to a keratinized epithelium.

Vitamin C- Perhaps the most popular vitamin, L-ascorbic acid is viewed as an essential nutrient and is required to synthesize collagen in humans. The L-enantiomer of ascorbic acid, or Vitamin C for short, is the famous ingredient of oranges and other citrus fruits. It has been said that a glass of pure squeezed orange juice provides the daily requirement of Vitamin C. While the antioxidant function is deemed important, other biosynthetic functions are of vital significance. It provides an electron for eight different enzymes, besides the aforementioned synthesis of collagen; it aids the synthesis of carnitine and neurotransmitters, synthesis and catabolism of tyrosine and the metabolism of microsome. The additional function as a reducing agent, keeping iron and copper at bay is an additional trait.

Whey Protein Concentrate- Whey protein is derived from a by-product (whey) during the process of conversion of milk into cheese. It’s available in three forms namely concentrate, isolate and hydrolysate. - Whey protein concentrate has higher level of bioactive compounds and lactose. They are low in cholesterol and fat content and have 29 percent to 89 percent of protein by weight. It’s mainly used by body builders for building muscles; it has numerous other health benefits. Whey protein is a good source of protein for all age groups and has an essential amino acid leucine which helps in muscle protein synthesis and muscle growth. Whey protein is also used in cancer and other chronic diseases where people are suffering from protein calorie malnutrition. Amino acid present in whey protein is essential for nail, skin and muscle growth. It is used in all infant formulas as it contains components that are found in human breast milk and it is also used in health drinks for children as a good source of protein. It helps prevent bone loss and helps in healing of wounds, surgical incisions as body requires more protein for the healing process. Whey protein is used in weight loss supplements as an appetite suppressant. Whey protein helps in improving immune function in athletes as it increases the level of glutathione.

Whey Protein Hydrolysate- Whey proteins are the by-product of cheese manufacturing using cow’s milk. Whey protein hydrolysates are the predigested, partially hydrolyzed whey proteins. They are more easily absorbed in the intestinal tract, and are less likely to cause allergic reactions upon ingestion. Whey hydrolysate is easy on the digestive system and has a high absorption rate. The high absorption rate means it is the most effective whey to take either pre or post workout. The high protein content means only a small amount is needed, so please check individual manufacturers for dosages. Whey hydrolysate can be absorbed in anywhere between 10 and 30 minutes*. It is not really suitable for the ‘snack meal’ as it contains so little biologically active proteins (these are destroyed during the amount of processing hydrolysate undergoes.) The cost of this whey protein form is higher than whey protein isolates and concentrates but the benefits are worth it.

Whey Protein Isolate comes from whey protein that is processed to remove the fat and lactose, but is usually lower in bioactive compounds. It is composed of more than 90% protein by weight, which may have a mild milky taste. Its main content, whey protein, is rapidly absorbed and its affordable price makes it the most common and preferred type of protein supplement available. it is a rich source of branched chained amino acids, which are used to support working muscles and stimulate protein anabolism. A specific amino acid, leucine has a significant role in commencing the transcription pathway that begins protein synthesis. Consumption of leucine in high amounts may promote the stimulation of protein synthesis speeding up recovery and wound healing as well as improving the adaptation to stress (i.e. exercise). There are ongoing studies with regards to another amino acid found in whey protein, cysteine, in improving the synthesis of glutathione in the liver. Contradicting results are being achieved and further scientific studies are needed.
