Rule 1 Protein is the ultimate recovery & lean muscle building protein drink made with super pure 100% whey isolate, fast-acting whey hydrolysate, and virtually nothing else! Use R1 Protein to feed your muscles fast after a workout, this is when your body is primed to absorb the greatest number of nutrients for recovery. A protein hydrolysate refers to a protein that has been partially digested or "hydrolyzed." Don't worry, it's not as if someone began chewing your protein and spat it back out. This process involves adding proteolytic enzymes, which break down protein, or heating a protein with acid. Both mimic the digestion process and result in intact proteins breaking down into single amino acids and small amino-acid peptide strands meaning faster absorption within the body! What Exactly Goes Into A High Quality Protein Like R1 + 25g Fast Acting Protein + 100% Of Protein From Whey Isolates & Hydrolysates - No Whey Concentrates! + 6+ Grams BCAAs + Fully Instantized To Mix Easily With A Spoon Or Shaker Cup + Carefully Blended And Packaged In A GMP Facility. *Please Note: Due to Rule 1 recently adjusting their size range, the weight of your protein may slightly differ from what is listed. This is because different flavours weigh different amounts. Don't be worried because even though the weight may be different, you're still receiving the correct size and servings for what you're paying for. When Are The Best Times To Use R1 ProteinR1 Protein is a fast acting protein and works well first thing in the morning and before or immediately after workouts to help effectively deliver the vital amino acids your muscles need for optimal performance.How Much R1 Protein Should I TakeIt really depends upon factors such as your physical size, what your diet consists of, how many total calories you consume, and your activity level. A common rule of thumb in the bodybuilding world is to aim for 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight per day. In other words, a 200 lb athlete should target 200 g of total protein from all dietary sources including protein powders and other supplements.What Are The Main Differences Between R1 Protein And R1 Whey BlendR1 Protein is Rule 1's flagship protein made exclusively with pure, fast-acting whey protein isolates and whey protein hydrolysates. R1 Protein contains no fillers, creamers, or gums and provides little to no fat, cholesterol, carbohydrate, or sugars. When it comes to protein powders, they don't get much cleaner than this. R1 Whey Blend is also 100% whey protein, but contains a blend of whey protein concentrates, isolates and hydrolysates. The whey protein concentrates contain less protein and greater amounts of fat and carbs than isolates, but they are more cost effective. Whey protein concentrates also contribute to a richer flavor and creamier texture, making R1 Whey Blend is a great choice for athletes who prioritize taste when choosing a protein powder.
