BENEFITS

• Protect lean muscle tissue
• Superb immune system support
• Minimize post-exercise muscular soreness
• 6 grams of glutamine per serving

Protein supplementation is absolutely essential for any hard-training athlete to maintain, repair, and grow lean muscle mass. Hammer Whey, ideal for supporting your immune system, as well as enhancing recovery between workouts and races, helps you obtain the full amount of protein you need daily.

Whey is the most easily assimilated of all proteins and is packed with a tremendous amount of naturally occurring branched chain amino acids. Hammer Whey also contains high amounts of other recovery-specific amino acids and is glutamine fortified for immune system support. Hammer Whey is 100% whey protein isolate, not the usually found concentrate, so you get more actual protein per serving and less lactose and fat.

Serious endurance athletes need protein far above the normal adult RDA, so make sure you always have Hammer Whey on hand.

Extra Benefits: Contains only 100% undenatured (non-heated) whey isolate, which is virtually lactose & fat free but rich in immune-enhancing beta-lactoalbumins and alpha-lactalbumins. Gram per gram we believe you won’t find a higher quality protein at a better value, especially when you compare the whey protein isolate in Hammer Whey to cheaper whey concentrates, most of which contain only 70-85% actual protein and higher amounts of fat and lactose.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

Maintenance, repair, and growth of lean muscle mass are as important as your energy source. That’s why serious endurance athletes also need considerable amounts of protein, far above the normal adult RDA. Low dietary protein lengthens recovery time, causes muscle weakness, and suppresses the immune system. Prolonged protein deficiencies will cancel the beneficial effects of your workouts; instead, you will become susceptible to fatigue, lethargy, anemia, and possibly even more severe disorders. Athletes with over-training syndrome usually have protein deficiency.

HAMMER WHEY fulfills your post-workout protein requirements, without any added sugars, fillers, sweeteners (artificial or otherwise), or any other questionable nutrients

Why HAMMER WHEY for recovery?

HAMMER WHEY is the standard for promoting rapid recovery. For the rebuilding of lean muscle tissue and optimal immune system functioning between workouts and races, whey protein has no peer. It is the most bioavailable form of protein and has the highest percentage of essential amino acids, the protein building blocks that your body does not manufacture and must be obtained from dietary sources. Moreover, 25% of the essential amino acid component comes from the three most important amino acids for muscle tissue repair, the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, isoleucine, and valine.

Each scoop of HAMMER WHEY also contains a huge six grams of glutamine, providing even more muscle rebuilding and immune system enhancing benefits. HAMMER WHEY is also rich in two other highly beneficial amino acids, methionine and cysteine. These two nutrients stimulate the natural production of glutathione, one of the body's most powerful antioxidants. Endurance exercise increases free-radical production, so endurance athletes need extra antioxidant protection. Glutathione also supports immune system and liver functions.

Short four-amino acid chains known as quadripeptides constitute another key component of whey protein. Quadripeptides have a pain-killing (analgesic) effect that can help alleviate the soreness after an intense workout or all-out race effort.

One more point about whey protein: for a supplement, make sure you use whey protein isolate, not whey protein concentrate. Whey protein isolate is virtually lactose and fat free; many lactose-intolerant people can still use whey protein isolate because it contains only a miniscule amount of lactose. Also, whey isolate checks in at a sturdy 90-97% protein by volume, whereas whey concentrate runs only 70-80% protein by weight. Simply put, whey protein isolate is a purer protein, and the best protein you can put into your body after a hard workout, which is why HAMMER WHEY is comprised of whey protein isolates only.

How well you perform tomorrow depends on how well you recover today. It's during the recovery process that your body grows stronger and more fit. Exercise breaks down muscle tissue, depletes energy stores, and stresses your immune system. Recovery builds these back up again--if you have adequate nutrient intake and a sensible exercise regime. Athletic improvement occurs during the rest and recovery phase, when your body responds to the stress of training. Smart athletes follow the formula for success: recover as purposely as you train. HAMMER WHEY is a key component for superior recovery.

USAGE INFORMATION
