At the core of Whey Gold Meal is the same proprietary, time-tested blend of whey protein isolates, concentrates, and hydrolysates found in Optimums best selling 100% Whey Protein. In fact, these are the only protein you'll find in Whey Gold Meal. Unlike other meal replacements products which often contain whole milk and/or soy proteins, Whey Gold Meal uses only the highest quality whey proteins.

The Protein Power of Whey

Highest Scoring
As you probably know, different protein sources have varied digestion and absorption rates. Amino acid profiles differ as well. But whey proteins have the highest Biological Value, Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score, and Protein Efficiency Ratio compared with any other single protein. Whey wins out because it's rich in all eight essential amino acids, it's rapidly digested, and easily assimilated.

Glutamine & Glutamine Precursors
Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the human body. However, heavy lifting and extreme physical exertion may exceed the body's ability to synthesize glutamine from other compounds, causing plasma glutamine levels to fall, which could potentially weaken your immune system. That's why 16% of the total protein in each serving of Whey Gold Meal� is comprised of naturally occurring glutamine and glutamine precursors.

Branch Chain Amino Acids
BCAAs are unique in that they can be directly metabolized by muscle tissue to serve as an important fuel source during strenuous physical activity. Whey protein is one of nature's best sources of the three branched chain amino acids: leucine, isoleucine, and valine.

Rapid Delivery
Whey proteins are some of the fastest digesting proteins available, which means you are able to absorb vital nutrients a short time before your workout. Rapid amino acid delivery is also critical immediately following your workout, when your liver and muscles are primed for recovery and glycogen resynthesis.
