It’s a common misconception that women shouldn’t consume protein powder, because they’ll get big and bulky. An increased protein intake (via protein shakes or otherwise) will do wonders for creating a lean, toned and fit figure in conjunction with your training, and you needn’t fear you will get big. To put it simply, it’s not possible for women to bulk up with huge muscles, even by lifting heavy weights, without artificial (and illegal) help, as they don’t have the testosterone levels that men do. An increased protein intake alongside a weight lifting/resistance program will help you build a lean, toned physique. With more muscle, you’ll burn more calories at rest, and more protein in your diet will assist with managing your appetite too.

Whilst the ISO WHEY GOLD range of products do not contain any ingredients harmful to either mother or baby, WellsPro always suggest caution. Due to the special and intricate role a mother’s nutrition plays for her baby’s health, we advise that any supplements containing appetite suppressants or stimulants should only be consumed whilst pregnant or breast feeding under dietetic supervision.
Many women do choose to continue using ISO WHEY GOLD whilst pregnant and/or breast feeding as a supplement for their energy and protein intake, and find the products extremely helpful.

WellsPro use Crossflow Micro-filtered Whey Protein Isolate in ISO Whey Gold. Processing of this type of whey isolate retains higher levels of unique bioactive whey fractions that have roles in improving immune function and gastrointestinal health. They have also been shown to exhibit anti-viral and anti-microbial activity as well as boosting cardio vascular health and bone mineral density. Hydrolysate is the most digestive form of whey and makes this formulation easy to digest which anhances accelerated recovery and lean muscle gain.

This comes down to your body type/size/weight, and your activity level – along with your intended goal that you’re aiming for.
For sedentary adults (those that do little or no exercise) the Recommended Dietary Intake (RDI) of 0.8g of protein per kilogram (kg) of body weight is sufficient to maintain muscle mass.

Protein needs increase depending on the duration and intensity of exercise. For example an endurance athlete’s requirements may range from 1.2g to 1.4g per kg of body weight. Very active people, strength athletes and those doing resistance training need approximately 1.7-1.8g of protein per kg of body weight. An 80kg male would require 136 grams (80 x 1.7 = 136) of protein daily to maintain existing muscle and achieve further muscle growth.

WellsPro do not recommend protein intakes of higher than 2g/kg body weight. It’s not so much that intakes above this are dangerous for normal individuals, but rather your body is unable to effectively utilise more than this so you’re wasting your time and money.

Normal dietary protein sources include meats like chicken, fish, eggs, legumes, split pulses and dairy. However, while these sources are important in a healthy balanced diet, most of them come with unwanted extras like saturated fat and sugar. ISO WHEY GOLD provides an easy way to boost your protein intake, providing more of what you need and less of what you don’t. You can tailor ISO WHEY GOLD to suit your own personal requirements ñ a quick lunch with a piece of fruit, the right nutrition for after exercise or a workout, a filling mid afternoon snack, a sustaining breakfast or something that will stave of hunger and cravings when youíre racing out the door.
