Whey Protein Supplement Powders are useful to supplement your diet with a high quality protein without consuming the saturated fats that frequently accompany whole foods that are high in protein. Some people prefer to eat foods that are high in carbohydrates, so consuming protein drinks with meals allows them to continue to eat their preferred foods while getting the protein their body needs. Protein supplement powder is also excellent for use in recipes to make Zone diet, low carbohydrate diet, ketogenic diet, or just high whey protein meals. We stock a full line of protein powders; from low- carb, wheyprotein, protein diet powders, and weight gainer formulas we have only the best brands like: Optimum Nutrition, Next Proteins, Pinnacle, EAS, Muscletech and more.

The Biological Value, or BV, of a protein is an indicator of the quality of the protein. It is a measure of a protein's ability to be used by the body (or its bioavailability). It is a percentage (though the scale is skewed resulting in some BV's of greater than 100) of the absorbed protein that your body actually uses. Biological Values are indicators of which proteins are best at aiding nitrogen retention in muscles to help them maintain or grow in mass.

How much protein should I taken?

• Training athletes often consume 25 grams of whey protein per day. Bodybuilders who want serious gains (and are burning serious calories), generally consume 150 grams of whey protein per day.
