WTF has that got to do with anything?
Still waiting for that ingredients list. Love me some cola and lemonade-flavoured nutrients.
Needs facebook details etc.. no deal
Yep, sucks big choccies, should have an option for existing customers without FB.
Has anyone figured out what this product is? The last time BN sent out free samples it was "Beef protein isolate" which was essentially gelatin protein isolates. This "future whey" stuff clearly has nothing to do with whey, as the website indicates it is dairy free. The flavours it comes in seems to suggest its some sort of amino acid blend. No idea if supplementing with amino acids has the same benefits for muscle synthesis as supplementing with proteins (which are broken down into amino acids by your digestive system). Maybe someone more familiar with the latest nutrition research can comment.
Okay, so there's no whey protein in Future Whey, but what's it actually made from?
Future Whey is 100% free form amino acids.
The above is from their website….so apparently it is a whey free whey with zero amino acids…
haha "free form" not "free from". I take this to mean it is an amino acid blend as i suspected.
Another bit talks about it being rich in BCAAs and EAAs (branched chain amino acids and essential amino acids).
My suspicion is that you can't really replicate complete protein intake with individual amino acids.. I don't think nutrition science is advanced enough to predict how any given person's metabolism will react to a particular blend of aminos at a particular time.
hahaha. Wow, how did I misread that. Makes more sense when you read it correctly, I was a little confused. But wasn't really interested in looking at it further anyway.
Basically the cattle get proteins from plants - usually grass or grains. These proteins contain various amino acids linked together which are then metabolised by the animal into various (other) amino acids as the animal requires for their own bodily function. Pregnant or nursing female cattle will also produce lactational fluids (ie: breast milk) containing these amino acids in a profile best suited to the fast growth of their child calf. Your own mother probably did you a similar favour when you were an infant. You can then either remove the calf from their mother (usually killed in the dairy industry) and consume the mother's milk to ingest those amino acids as found in whey protein, or you can kill the animal and consume the animal's body to eat up those bovine proteins. By the time the cattles' bodies reach your mouth they have usually consumed around fifteen times the amount of protein from plants that you will consume from their flesh. Fifteen to one - thems the efficiency.
Or you can just eat plants yourself like the cattle themselves do - maybe not grass but more appetising things of which there are countless options, just google to see for yourself - and skip using the animals as intermediaries. So long as you consume a varied diet with enough calories you are pretty much guaranteed to more than adequately cover your protein needs (which, incidentally, you might want to actually quantify before you begin, rather than just stabbing in the dark as most people do with "I need more protein.") You will also make 14 extra units of protein available to other people that you would have otherwise consumed - great for the billion starving people in the world, sometimes even displaced by cattle grazing areas themselves -, eliminated arguably your single biggest source of green house gas emissions (yes, google it - or http://www.fao.org/docrep/010/a0701e/a0701e00.HTM), reduced water contamination and use and by a factor of between 100 and 1000 depending on whom you ask, but most importantly done the decent thing of sparing innocent animals, children included, great suffering just so you can lift. Give it a go!
I wish they didn't ask for Facebook details. They'd secure more goodwill that way.
I immediately removed them from my Facebook permissions after taking the deal.
Amino acids are a cheap replacement for whey.
Google search Protein scam and a heap of well known companies in the USA were substituting WHEY for Amino acids as they were cheaper to use and still selling it as whey etc.
Intrigued as to what this actually is. Has 22g of protein in a 25g serving and tastes like cola.. I've never heard anything like that before. Could be a game changer.
see discussion above.. seems its aminos
amino acids contain protein? where's the protein coming from?
In super simplified terms:
Protein is made up of amino acids. You eat the protein, your digestive system breaks it down into its constituent amino acids. Where your body needs proteins (like say synthesizing muscle cells at a spot where you damaged your muscle through exercise) the amino acids are reformed into the relevant proteins and used to construct the new cells.That's why protein supplements usually have an amino acid profile listed somewhere near the ingredients. (eg, scroll down to ingredients here: http://www.bulknutrients.com.au/products/whey-protein-isolat…)
If it was this simple, in theory you could just skip the protein breakdown and take in aminos directly, which would then be available for your body to use to make proteins and synthesize muscle as required. However it isn't this simple… it's infinitely more complex.
