Are your protein shakes the quality you think?
It is easy to get confused on what the best protein shakes are with so much variety on the market to choose from and in such a cluttered market place the decision is becoming even more challenging for the everyday consumer of supplements.
With companies now offering a manufacturing solution to anyone wishing to start up a proverbial supplement company with minimal investment how can we be sure of one quality whey from the other?
Most supplement companies would want you to believe that whey protein is just whey protein but the reality could not be further from the truth. There are many different types of whey protein powder designed to deliver perfect protein shakes and the powders can go through multiple manufacturing processes and contain a mixture of protein sources to increase quality. The key of judging the quality of a whey protein lies hidden in the percentage breakdown.
Small and large protein powder manufacturers are not transparent when it comes to divulging this information and to the disconcerting consumer 80% whey seems like a high quality product right? On appearance you would be right in thinking so, but the reality is that it could be made entirely from whey protein concentrate WPC, the cheapest form of whey protein from a manufacturing stand point.
I wonder if the day will ever come when we will see a breakdown on what percentage of whey protein is actually in the tub. Statements of “triple whey complex” are appearing on some whey proteins but they don’t tell us what percentage is concentrate, hydrolysed or isolate which I feel the supplement companies have an obligation in doing. It could be that 78% if concentrate 1% hydrolysed and 1% isolate giving the company the right to market the powder in this fashion and that is simply not good enough.
If a supplement company does makes claims of “having multiple whey protein complexes” in there protein contact the manufacturers and ask them to break down the percentage of the sources they are marketing. They are obligated to divulge this information to you. Open and honest marketing is now being forced in the supplement industry by the OFT and FDA which is fantastic news for consumers of supplements and with expansive points of resource available online to consumers wishing to ensure they are getting value for money the only people who stand to lose from being dishonest are the supplement manufacturers who are ignorant to displaying facts to their target consumer.

The original multi compartment shakers where seen to be the next big by storing powder, but storing is enough as you will need to ensure that you are not over consuming your supplements.

Protein shakes are essential for delivering ample amounts of protein to fuel the muscles and for recovery after a workout. Having the right amount of protein to hand is therefore essential to results. A shaker bottle with special compartments for water and whey protein, intra-workout and recovery supplements is the perfect way to deliver supplementation when you need it the most. Core 150 Shaker bottles are leak-proof, easy to carry and affordable. They are the perfect way to mix your protein on the go and ensure you get the right amount when your body needs it. It’s important that you select the right shaker bottle so look out for reputable stockists or buy direct from core150.com.
Many protein shake manufacturers give away protein shaker bottles but with the new guidelines being enforced it is unlikely free shakers will be anywhere near the quality of FDA, BPA or meet the required Food Grade Plastic standards used in higher end shaker cups such as the Core 150. You’ll also need to take care of your shaker bottle to ensure it doesn’t start to develop unpleasant odours. Washing your bottle out at the end of each session and use, will ensure your shaker bottle stays looking and smelling its best. With Core 150 there is no need for any other gimmicks or accessories shaker cup related to ensure you get the most from your training regime. Keep your gym bag dry, your life convenient, and your body topped up with the protein it needs with the new Core 150 shaker cup.
