Protein supplements are popular in the sports world, especially among active individuals, due to the key role of protein in muscle building and recovery. Protein makes up 15-20% of the 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 allows for protein rebuilding after training. For athletes aiming to reduce body fat while maintaining muscle mass, recommendations can rise 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, corresponding to 15–30 g of protein per serving.
Although most athletes can meet their protein needs through a proper diet, protein supplements can be useful in certain situations. Their use can help provide quickly absorbable protein after training, supplement protein in meals low in this nutrient, or support athletes with low appetite or in conditions where access to protein-rich foods is limited.
The most popular types of protein supplements are whey proteins (WPC, WPI, WPH), casein, soy protein, and plant-based proteins (e.g., from peas, 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 decide on protein supplementation after carefully considering their needs, goals, and training load. Protein supplements do not replace food and should be used as a dietary complement. Excessive intake of supplements may limit access to other nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, which are provided by complete protein foods.
7Nutrition Whey Isolate 90 is a unique whey protein isolate that contains an impressive 90g of protein (dry mass) per 100 g – for the natural version. Thanks to microfiltration, this product has an excellent amino acid profile and very low fat and carbohydrate content. This formula makes it ideal for people aiming to build muscle mass, improve post-training recovery, and maintain proper energy levels throughout the day. The isolate is also easy to dissolve, making it a convenient addition to shakes, smoothies, or oatmeal wherever you need to optimize protein intake. The product is obtained through microfiltration, a modern protein production method that yields highly pure protein while minimizing nutritional losses. Unlike other filtration methods, microfiltration does not denature the protein, preserving its natural properties and structures. As a result, protein obtained this way is more easily absorbed by the body, which is crucial for effective recovery and muscle-building processes.
Whey protein isolate (WPI – Whey Protein Isolate) is one of the purest and most popular types of protein used in sports supplementation. It is derived from whey, the liquid residue after cheese production. Whey, a rich protein source, undergoes multi-stage filtration to obtain whey protein isolate – a product with high protein content and low fat and carbohydrate content. These features make WPI highly popular among athletes and those aiming to increase muscle mass, improve recovery, and maintain a proper physique. Compared to whey protein concentrate (WPC – Whey Protein Concentrate), the isolate has higher protein content, making it a more concentrated protein source. The difference in protein content between WPI and WPC results from an additional filtration step that removes more fat and lactose, leaving almost exclusively protein.
Whey protein isolate is characterized by exceptionally high biological value (BV – Biological Value), meaning it is very efficiently utilized by the body. The BV of whey protein isolate is about 104, making it one of the highest-rated protein sources, surpassing other popular sources such as egg protein (BV of 100) or plant proteins, which generally have lower biological value.
Whey protein isolate provides a complete profile of essential amino acids, meaning it contains all amino acids the body cannot produce on its own. It is particularly rich in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), including leucine, isoleucine, and valine. These three amino acids play a key role in muscle protein synthesis, making WPI an ideal choice for individuals aiming to build and recover muscles.
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.
