Protein supplements are popular in the world of sports, especially among physically active individuals, due to the key role of protein in building and regenerating muscles. Protein accounts for 15–20% of human body mass and is the main component of skeletal muscles, as well as tissues such as bones, cartilage, skin, and blood. It is essential for the production of enzymes, hormones, and other compounds with regulatory functions.
Protein requirements for athletes are higher than for sedentary individuals, ranging from 1.2 to 1.6 g/kg of body weight per day, which supports post-training protein recovery. For athletes aiming to reduce body fat while maintaining muscle mass, recommendations may increase to 1.6–2.4 g/kg. It is also important to distribute protein intake throughout the day, with a recommendation of 0.3–0.4 g/kg per meal or snack, which corresponds to 15–30 g of protein per serving.
Although most athletes can meet their protein requirements through a proper diet, protein supplements can be useful in certain situations. Their use may help provide fast-absorbing protein after training, supplement meals low in protein, or support athletes with low appetite or limited access to protein-rich foods.
The most popular types of protein supplements include whey proteins (WPC, WPI, WPH), casein, soy protein, and plant-based proteins (e.g., pea, hemp, rice). Whey proteins are high-quality animal-derived proteins rich in branched-chain amino acids, especially leucine, which plays a key role in anabolic processes.
It is important for athletes to carefully consider protein supplementation based on their needs, goals, and training load. Protein supplements do not replace food and should be used as a complement to the diet. Excessive intake may limit the consumption of other nutrients such as vitamins and minerals provided by whole food protein sources.
7Nutrition Whey Isolate 90 is an exceptional whey protein isolate containing an impressive 90 g of protein (dry matter) per 100 g in the natural version. Thanks to microfiltration, the product features an excellent amino acid profile and very low fat and carbohydrate content. This formula makes it ideal for individuals aiming to build muscle mass, improve post-workout recovery, and maintain proper energy levels throughout the day.
The isolate dissolves easily, making it a convenient addition to shakes, smoothies, or oatmeal—anywhere you need to optimize protein intake. The product is obtained through microfiltration, a modern production method that ensures very high purity while minimizing the loss of nutritional value. Unlike other filtration methods, microfiltration does not cause protein denaturation, meaning it preserves its natural properties and structure. As a result, protein obtained using this method is more bioavailable, which is crucial for effective recovery and muscle building.
Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) is one of the purest and most popular types of protein used in sports supplementation. It is derived from whey, a liquid by-product of cheese production. Through multi-stage filtration, whey is transformed into a product characterized by high protein content and low levels of fat and carbohydrates. Compared to Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC), isolate contains a higher percentage of protein due to additional filtration removing more fat and lactose.
Whey protein isolate is characterized by an exceptionally high biological value (BV – Biological Value), meaning it is very efficiently utilized by the body. Its BV is approximately 104, making it one of the highest-rated protein sources, surpassing others such as egg protein (BV of 100) or plant proteins, which usually have lower biological value.
Whey protein isolate provides a complete profile of essential amino acids, meaning it contains all amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own. It is especially rich in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), including leucine, isoleucine, and valine, which play a crucial role in muscle protein synthesis.
Leucine, in particular, is considered the main activator of muscle protein synthesis, acting as an anabolic signal for muscle cells. Studies show that the high leucine content in whey protein isolate significantly enhances anabolic processes after training, leading to faster recovery and muscle growth.
