Protein Powder Vassle

The most common is Whey, which is made from milk protein and is better known as "whey" and "whey protein". This is the most well-known and most popular protein supplement as it has a great effect on muscle protein synthesis and has the ability to be absorbed by the body very quickly and it is often said because it is a fast protein.

Then there is Casein which the corresponding whey is called a slow protein. It is also a milk protein but it takes much longer for the body to absorb it which makes many people prefer to take it before going to sleep or the like. Aware Nutrition Casein is one of their latest products that has quickly become a very popular product precisely for its ability to supply the muscles with amino acids for a longer period of time.

What does a protein powder do?

Protein powder is a source of protein that contributes to protein synthesis, ie that muscle mass is created.Strength training contributes to a large turnover of protein in your body, by getting protein in connection with exercise or during the rest of the day when the protein levels in the body are low, protein synthesis increases and ensures to reduce the breakdown of muscles during the same time. it can thus be said that protein powder stops muscle breakdown and instead contributes to muscle building. Aware Nutrition's Whey protein is a protein powder that is absorbed extremely quickly by the body and therefore stops muscle breakdown in the fastest possible way.

How is our protein powder made?

Aware Nutrition's whey protein is made from Swedish raw materials from Swedish farms, which means that we can ensure that the protein powder is of the highest quality and at the same time protects the environment. Whey protein is made from cow's milk which, after being milked, is pasteurized at a high temperature and then cooled down. Then a purification process takes place where whey protein is separated from fats, carbohydrates, water and minerals. The whey protein is then filtered and turned into a powder and then flavored with one of our extremely good flavors. Vegan protein powder from Aware is made with a unique combination of pea and rice protein with a fantastic taste.

Save time and money with protein powder!

Among the biggest reasons to use protein powder is how much time and money you save. For maximum muscle building, you should eat 2-3 grams of protein per kilogram of your body weight in one day. This is for most of us who live a hectic life difficult to achieve without resorting to help. Protein powder is the perfect help to achieve this. All you need is something to mix the protein powder in and for that a shaker can be smooth. You also need some form of liquid such as water or milk to be able to mix the product. You do not have to cook extra meals, both of which can take up an unnecessary amount of your time and also cost significantly more than what a portion of protein powder costs.

Who can use protein powder?

Protein powder can be used by virtually all people, no matter how active they are, how much they exercise and what their goals are. This is because protein powder helps to promote recovery after physical activities, prevents muscle breakdown, prevents you from getting hungry as easily and maximizes your metabolism.
