WHY WHEY PROTEIN....WHY OUR WHEY PROTEIN

Whey protein has been shown to augment muscle protein synthesis, support fat burning, boost the immune system, improve insulin sensitivity, and decrease appetite.  However there are many forms of whey protein on the market and they all have different applications and may be better for different people. Whey protein exists in three main forms: concentrate, isolate and hydrolysate. The difference being the level of processing they have undergone. So lets take a closer look to determine which may be better for you......
Whey concentrate is the least processed of the three. Whey concentrate is shown to boost production of glutathione, the body’s master antioxidant. With benefits in overall health, prevent cancer and even autism and Alzheimers. Furthermore Whey Concentrate has been shown to improve digestive health, with flow on effects to improving the immune system.


Many of us spend a lot of money on supplements with very little understanding of what the purpose or benefit it is!


While Whey isolates, and particularly hydrolysates, are more rapidly absorbed than concentrates and create a more profound insulin response (known to enhance muscle mass and strength gains). This makes whey isolates popular post-workout (particularly heavy resistance style, and high intensity exercise) choices. Whether this increased rate of absorption translates into any real-world anabolic advantage is arguable, but anyone wishing to limit rises in insulin may want to avoid isolates because of their effects on insulin release.

The further processed and purified whey protein isolate causes the 3-D structures to be degraded and lose their biologic activity. You should note, however, that the amino acid sequences do not change when protein is denatured, and whether a protein is denatured during processing does not effect its muscle-building qualities.

All large proteins are broken down during digestion into smaller protein chains and individual amino acids (denatured), and whether this process occurs in the gut or in the manufacturing plant is irrelevant to the muscle fibers getting these proteins. However, since denaturing can affect the biologic activity of certain peptides, whey concentrate has a theoretical health advantage over isolate.
That being said, depending on the process used, whey isolate may still have significant amounts of bioactive peptides. Micro-filtration techniques, such as those used to develop CARNAGE SUPPS, are a more expensive procedure but yield a whey isolate with more intact bio-active peptides.
So which do I choose. When choosing a whey protein product, it is important to consider your goals, budget, and any allergies.

For example, since whey concentrates contain significant amounts of lactose, anyone with lactose intolerance should avoid them.
Given the CARNAGE SUPPS processing this ensures that the bioactive peptides should be available in both our Concentrate and Isolate.
PROTEIN CONTENT
Concentrate - 31.2g per 40g serve (78%)
Isolate -36.4g per 40g serve (91%)
HEALTH BENEFITS
Microfiltered, Undenatured,  Low temperature processing ensures retention of both nutritional and functional properties. Therefore both offering similar bioactive benefits.
CARB & FAT CONTENT
Concentrate - 2.4g & 2.3g per serve
Isolate - 0.3g & 0.4g per serve
Very low carb and fat content even for the concentrate when compared to many products on the market, so suitable for those on low carb or low fat diets.
PURITY
All our proteins are 100% Pure! Gluten Free. No artificial flavours, or fillers. We only use the most concentrated natural flavours to ensure you get the highest protein content.
ADSORPTION RATE
Isolate has a faster absorption rate than concentrate, however the presence of small amounts of carbs and fats may add to the absorption of peptides into the muscles.
PRICE
Concentrate - 1kg $27, 2.5kg $60
Isolate - 1kg $36, 2.5kg $84
CARNAGE SUPPS has some of the cheapest supps on the market.....we challenge you to find supps of this quality (purity, processing, and Aussie made).
So if you are on a budget our Concentrate is a very high protein powder great for all applications, also offers a great post workout replacement for long sessions, mid-day snack or meal replacement to maintain protein levels, if you have specific goals for lean muscle growth and fast recovery from high intensity exercise then the Isolate may be a more superior product.
