What is Whey?
There are two types of protein in milk; whey and casein. Proteins are popular among athletes and fitness fans because of they’re muscle building and recovering properties.
Whey protein is the most popular nutritional supplement world wide. This is mainly due to the rapid uptake of the amino acids in whey into the blood stream, but also due to its amino acid profile. This profile is made up by the different types of amino acids that chain up to form the protein. Whey contains all the essential amino acids, thus called because our body can’t produce them and we need to get them from food. Also whey contains a high amount of the so called Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA’s). These amino acids play an especially big rol in the building of muscles, unlike some other amino acids that have many different functions.
What is sucralose?
Sucralose is an artificial sweetener made from table sugar.
Researchers discovered that certain adaptations in the sugar molecule lead to a new molecule that’s 500 to 600 hundred times sweeter than sugar. This means you need 500-600 time less for the same sweet taste. Even better; the body cannot uptake the sucralose molecule and therefor sucralose is good for 0,0 kcal
