Not all protein supplements are equal. May boast of patented technologies geared towards enhancing muscle development. In the end, it's the result that counts. Based on popularity, these are the top protein supplements of 2017.
1. ON Gold Standard Whey. Pitch: Whey protein isolates are
the purest form of whey and the main ingredient in Gold Standard 100% Whey™.
Each serving provides 24 grams of rapidly digesting whey protein with low
levels of fat, cholesterol, lactose and other stuff you can do without making
Gold Standard 100% Whey™ the standard all other proteins are measured against.
3. Dymatize ISO100. Pitch: ISO100® is simply muscle-building
fuel. Each serving contains 25 grams of protein and 5.5g of BCAAs including
2.7g of L-Leucine. Known worldwide for quality, taste and purity, ISO100 is
produced to our highest quality standards. ISO100 is formulated using a cross-flow
micro filtration, multi-step purification process that preserves important
muscle-building protein fractions while removing excess carbohydrates, fat,
lactose and cholesterol. ISO100 is made with pre-hydrolyzed protein sources to
ensure fast digestion and absorption.
4. Nitro-Tech: Pitch: The Most Powerful Protein Formula Ever
Developed! Nitro-Tech is a scientifically engineered, enhanced whey protein
formula designed for all athletes who are looking for more muscle, more
strength and better performance. Nitro-Tech contains protein sourced primarily
from whey protein isolate and whey peptides – two of the cleanest and purest
protein sources available. Other whey protein supplements might have only a few
grams of these highly bioavailable and easily digested proteins. Nitro-Tech® is
also enhanced with the most studied form of creatine for even better gains in
muscle and strength. Each scoop of Nitro-Tech® contains 30 grams of protein,
primarily from whey protein isolate and whey peptides. These have several
advantages over other forms of protein.
5. BSN Syntha6. Pitch: SYNTHA-6® is an ultra-premium protein
powder with 22g protein per serving and is BSN's best-tasting protein on the
market. SYNTHA-6 not only includes essential amino acids and essential fatty
acids, but is also an excellent source of fiber, which makes it a nutritious
and multi-functional protein supplement. SYNTHA-6 is the go-to protein for any
nutrition or exercise regimen because it is designed to suit a variety of
active lifestyles and diet plans. And with SYNTHA-6, the high standard of
quality protein comes with taste to match, thanks to BSN's exclusive flavor
technology.
6. Evolution Nutrition Stacked Protein. Pitch: Complete fast
and slow release protein stack with 25 gram protein complex, 5g BCAAs and 5g
Glutamine To Fuel Your Results! Multi-stage 5 protein blend of fast, medium and
slow release proteins for complete muscle fuel day or night.
7. Gold Standard 100% Casein. Pitch: After training, you
want a fast-acting whey protein shake to kick-start the recovery process. But
that process can take up to 48 hours to complete. Supplementing your healthy,
balanced diet with slowly digesting Gold Standard 100% Casein™ with 24 grams
slow digesting Micellar Casein can help support a feeling of fullness while
providing a slow, steady flow of Essential Amino Acids including the BCAAs to
muscle tissues. With nine different flavors to choose from, this is the
standard all other slowly digesting proteins are measured against.
8. COR-Performance Whey. Pitch: After racking the last
weight, unlacing your running shoes or stepping off the playing field, you need
protein to refuel tired muscles. COR-Performance Whey serves as an optimal
source of protein in dessert-inspired flavors to replenish nutrients
post-workout. Every two scoop is packed with 24g of fast-acting protein and
digestive enzymes so that you can feed your muscles any time of the day. And it
has minimal fat and carbs, so you’re left with a clean, simple protein. Whether
it’s your first time in the gym, you’re a seasoned vet or anywhere in between,
think of COR-Performance Whey as the bridge between your last rep today and
your first sip of pre-workout as you head out the door tomorrow.
COR-Performance Whey now comes gluten free, so everyone can indulge their sweet
tooth. Think of COR-Performance Whey as an encore to your killer workout or the
dessert after your favorite meal. You earned it!
9. COMBAT 100% WHEY. Pitch: COMBAT 100% WHEY is a low-carb,
high-protein, great-tasting protein supplement with minimal fat and low sodium
that delivers fast digesting protein sources to build and maintain lean muscle
mass. Combat 100% Whey combines two of the fastest digesting, most efficient,
and cleanest protein sources available: Whey Protein Isolate and Whey protein
Concentrate. Whey protein has the highest bioavailability among complete
proteins (protein that contains a complete amino acid profile of all 9
essential amino acids) and also has the highest absorption rate among any other
proteins. Whey protein isolate is a concentrated whey protein molecule
“isolated” to remove any impurities such as fats, or sugars. This process, in
turn, reduces the size of the molecule making it easier for the body to absorb
and faster to digest. Additionally, Combat 100% Whey is low in sodium at only
65mg per serving. This can reduce the risk of excess water retention, further
ensuring that the mass that you put on is the mass that you intended.
10. Re-Kaged . Pitch: Each serving of Re-Kaged contains 28g
of Non-GMP whey protein isolate, 7g of Glutamine and Glutamic Acid (4 g
naturally occurring from WPI + 3 g of +Free Form L-Glutamine), patented
BetaPower™ – betaine, Patented Creatine HCL, Beetroot and the Super Enzyme
ProHydrolase®, which breaks down (hydrolyzes) whey protein into smaller
particle sizes for maximum absorption. What is the difference between
hydrolyzed whey and Re-Kaged’s whey protein isolate plus patented Prohydrolase?
The difference lies at the point of consumption. Typical hydrolyzed whey
protein is chemically treated during the manufacturing process into small
peptides and dried. Re-Kaged’s Whey protein isolate plus Prohydrolase is
hydrolyzed the instant it comes in contact with liquid. Thus, kick starting the
muscle building and recovery process!
