Advanced Whey Isolate (Protein)

Advanced Whey Isolate by ModernX is the ultimate muscle building protein.

Our special, science backed formula undergoes a more comprehensive protein extraction process than standard protein mixes, which results in a higher protein content with less carbs, lactose and fat.

Whey Protein

• “Compared to soy, whey protein is higher in leucine, absorbed quicker and results in a more pronounced increase in muscle protein synthesis.” (Muscle protein synthesis means the body repairs muscle damage due to exercise and builds additional muscle in response). ^[1] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• “Whey protein supplementation was effective in promoting increases in SMM (Skeletal Muscle Mass), muscular strength, and functional capacity.” ^[2] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• “…protein supplementation may enhance muscle mass and performance when the training stimulus is adequate (e.g., frequency, volume, duration), and dietary intake is consistent with recommendations for physically active individuals.” ^[3] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• “…whey protein isolate supplementation attenuated (reduced) the impairment in isometric and isokinetic muscle forces during recovery from exercise-induced muscle injury.” (Meaning: Faster recovery, less pain from workouts). ^[4] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• Increases lean muscle mass. ^[5] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• “…consuming protein pre- and/or post-workout induces a significant rise in muscle protein synthesis (muscle repair and rebuilding after exercise).” ^[6] U.S. National Library of Medicine

Here are the naturally occurring BCAAs (Branch Chain Amino Acids) contained in Advanced Whey Isolate and the science explaining how they improve your athletic performance, assist with muscle building and muscle recovery after exercise or weight training:

Alanine

• “From the data available…it can be concluded that β-alanine supplementation elicits a significant ergogenic effect (i.e. increases endurance, stamina and performance) on high-intensity exercise.” ^[7] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• “β-Alanine supplementation was effective at increasing power output when lifting loads equivalent to the individual’s maximal strength or when working at maximum power output.” ^[8] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• “Supplementation with beta-alanine has been shown to increase muscle carnosine content (i.e. natural building blocks of muscle) and therefore total muscle buffer capacity, with the potential to elicit improvements in physical performance during high-intensity exercise.” ^[9] U.S. National Library of Medicine

Aspartic Acid

• “Aspartic acid, is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins.” ^[10] Wikipedia
• Aspartic acid is one of the building-block amino acids that are responsible for synthesizing proteins and regulating hormones in the human body. ^[11] News Medical

Glutamic Acid

Glutamine

• Glutamine reduces fatigue by increasing muscle glycogen synthesis (i.e. energy to muscles during exercise). ^[12] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• “…increases the body’s secretion of human growth hormone (HGH).” ^[13] U.S. National Library of Medicine

Histidine

• “…body fat declined in the histidine-supplemented group relative to the placebo group.” ^[14] U.S. National Library of Medicine

Leucine

• Assists with muscle recovery after exercise or weight lifting. ^[15] U.S. National Library of Medicine

Methionine

• “Methionine is one of nine essential amino acids in humans. Methionine is required for growth and tissue repair.” ^[16] U.S. National Library of Medicine

Proline

• “Proline plays important roles in protein synthesis (using protein to build muscle)…as well as wound healing, antioxidative reactions, and immune responses.” ^[17] U.S. National Library of Medicine

Threonine

• “Threonine is an essential amino acid. Amino acids are the building blocks the body uses to make proteins” (which are then used to build muscle). “Essential amino acids are those that cannot be made by the body and must be obtained from the diet.” ^[18] Web MD

Tyrosine

• Helps maintain focus, cognition, muscle coordination and performance when tired or under pressure. ^[19] U.S. National Library of Medicine

Arginine

• “Arginine…helps the body build protein…helping to build muscles, repair wounds, and improve male fertility.” ^[20] Medical News Today
• “Sports performance significantly increased in l-arginine supplementation group (4.12±6.07) compared with placebo group (1.23±3.36) (P=0.03).” ^[21] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• “Positive effects on anaerobic and aerobic performance.” ^[22] U.S. National Library of Medicine

Cystine

• “…significant additional increases were observed in muscle strength with the addition of a cysteine-rich whey protein.” ^[23] U.S. National Library of Medicine

Glycine

• Protects muscle mass against wastage. (Meaning: You get to keep your muscle gains). ^[24] U.S. National Library of Medicine

Isoleucine

• 3 grams of Isoleucine post workout increased muscle protein synthesis (i.e. the building of muscle) for 1.5 hours after the workout. ^[25] U.S. National Library of Medicine

Lysine

• Boosts muscle strength. ^[26] U.S. National Library of Medicine

Phenylalanine

• “Phenylalanine is…a “building block” of protein.” ^[27] Web MD

Serine

• “…serine and glycine are required for…human skeletal muscle stem and progenitor cell function.” ^[28] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• “…serine metabolism is critical for survival.” ^[29] U.S. National Library of Medicine

Tryptophan

• Helps prevent muscle loss or muscle wastage. ^[30] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• Decreases symptoms of depression or anxiety. ^[31] U.S. National Library of Medicine

Valine

• Valine helps maintain mental vigor and muscle coordination. ^[32] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• “Valine supplements are used for muscle growth, tissue repair, and energy.” ^[33] U.S. National Library of Medicine
