Dymatize Elite Whey Overview
I’ve just bought some new protein powder to try. I had been using Boditronics Express Whey, and I really like it, it’s a great tasting protein shake. However, because it contains micellar casein, I have decided to stop using it. This is because I seem to get a bad chest from using it, and wonder if this is something to do with the casein or the pro-biotics it contains. It may well be nothing and I could end up going back to it, but for now want to try a different protein shake.
I found the cheapest place to buy the Dymatize Elite Whey Protein on DiscountSupplementsGuide.com, I think they just refer you onto the cheapest retailer. I paid £26.99 delivered for a 5lb / 2.25kg tub.
Dymatize Elite Whey contains just whey protein, in isolate and concentrate form (including Di-Peptides, Tri-Peptides, Oligo-Peptides and Poly-Peptides) as well as whey peptides.
From the nutritional label it looks like it doesn’t have any additional amino acids or bcaa’s added, so it is just a plain whey protein powder, though the whey protein isolate is ion-exchanged and the whey protein concentrate is cross flow ultra filtered!
The powder is 73% protein, 0% sugars, 7.6% carbohydrate and 6% fat.
A 50 gram portion would therefore provide the following nutrition:
- 36.5 grams of protein (146 calories)
- 3.8 grams of carbs (15 calories)
- 3 grams of fat (27 calories)
- Total calories: 188
- Zero Impact Calories!
Looking at this info, this will be a good protein powder for anyone trying to maintain low blood sugar levels, or avoid blood sugar spikes. From looking at the nutrition data, it looks like the carbohydrate is either medium or low GI, which is good as far as avoiding blood sugar spikes are concerned.
