VP2 Whey Isolate is a pure hydrolyzed isolated whey protein scientifically proven over 600% more effective for supporting muscle growth than other proteins.

VP2 has enhanced absorption kinetics that shuttle large amounts of the amino acids essential for protein synthesis directly into muscle and other tissues. This enhanced delivery system relieves the metabolic burden on muscle having to supply all organs and tissues with these amino acids. This leaves a more potent supply of critical amino acids within muscle and promotes a more constant, uninterrupted state of protein synthesis, cell volume, and muscle anabolism.

VP2 creates a high level of cysteine within the bloodstream. Research has shown this to be essential to the protein regulation process within the body. A high and constant supply of cysteine channels protein metabolism toward muscle growth and away from muscle breakdown. VP2's cysteine supply relieves the burden on muscle, enhancing muscle anabolism and strength. VP2 is also high in cystine (two cysteine amino acids joined together). This dipeptide is extremely rare in other foods and protein supplements. It is critical to the formation of glutathione within the body.

Glutathione is the centerpiece of all antioxidant and detoxification defense systems within our body and is the third biochemical pathway that leads to muscle growth and strength increases. The research on glutathione's relationship with muscle is clear. Heavy and intense training lowers glutathione levels. Increasing cellular glutathione leads directly to increases in muscle mass and strength. VP2 promotes elevated glutathione levels for dynamic increases in strength and muscle mass.

VP2 (AST) - Average rating (3 reviews)  - Write a review Show Reviews Reviews August 13, 2007 Reviewer: Tom in Virginia I have tried probably a dozen protein powders and have settled on VP2 since it has the best taste (as does EAS Myoplex). VP2 is also a good price for the amount of protein per serving. It mixes very easily, although it is thin, not thick like some of the others - which I prefer.
