Description

ISS' Whey Matrix delivers 22 grams of high quality protein enhanced with glutamine peptides at an economical price. This complete protein powder includes a proprietary blend of whey protein concentrate, whey protein isolate, glutamine peptides, 18 amino acids and calcium. Whey Matrix is formulated to promote muscle gain and recovery as well as increased strength and muscularity.

Whey protein is a major protein in milk. It provides an optimal concentration of proteins and amino acids to promote positive nitrogen retention (stored muscle protein) for faster muscle growth and recovery. Glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid, if demand for glutamine exceeds the body's ability to produce it. Intense workouts and athletic performance can deplete glutamine levels, making supplementation necessary. Glutamine helps prevent muscle tissue breakdown and supports muscle repair.

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and are necessary for the growth, repair, and maintenance of muscle. Whey Matrix provides 18 essential amino acids (EAAs), conditionally essential amino acids (CEAAs) and non-essential amino acids (NEAAs). The EAAs include lysine, threonine, methionine, phenylalanine and tryptophan and the branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, valine and isoleucine. The CEAAs include arginine and histidine. The NEAAs include alanine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycine, proline, serine, tyrosine and cysteine. This synergistic combination of amino acids promotes muscle growth, endurance, repair and recovery.
