Olympian Labs Beef Protein, Dark Chocolate, 1 lb
Great Tasting Chocolate Flavor! Beef is well known as a great source of protein. With its great taste and high iron content, it would seem ideal for building muscle. Unfortunately, if all you ate were steak, you would also be ingesting massive amounts of fat and cholesterol along with the protein you desire. The solution is simple: Beef Protein from Olympian Labs. Olympian Labs' Beef Protein isolate concentrates the normal 26% protein content found in ground beef to an incredible 98% protein; the highest on the market! That means higher protein content per serving to support your workouts. This process also virtually eliminates the fat content, which can easily exceed 20% in raw beef. Even better, the biological value, BV, of Beef Protein is an incredible 90%. The BV is an accurate indicator of the biological activity of a protein. It measures the actual amount of protein deposited per gram of protein absorbed. High BV proteins are a better choice for increased nitrogen retention, enhanced immunity, and IGF-1 (insulin like growth factor) stimulation. They are superior for reducting lean tissue loss from various wasting states in comparison to proteins with a lower BV score. In addition to having a high BV, Beef Protein is very high in the amino acid Alanine, the basis for much of the body's protein structure. Alanine is needed for the metabolism of glucose, allowing the body to generate more fuel for an intense workout. OL's Beef Protein contains very high levels of hydroxiproline and proline rare amino acids needed for stabilizing collagen in the body, and glycine, an amino acid that makes up 30% of the body's collagen structure, and is the basis for most proteins found in the human body. Additionally, hydroxiproline, proline, and glycine may help support your skin, cartilage, muscles, and tendons, and may increase the body's ability to recover from workouts.
