Impact Whey Protein: the characteristics

The first thing we hear is that the quality of these products is high and that each serving of protein contains 80% high quality protein with an excellent amino acid profile. The solubility  is exceptional compared to other products and lumps are hardly formed both in water and in milk.

The smell and the taste are very tasty and are a real pleasure for the palate because we can choose from 40 different flavors, unlike most of the proteins on the market. Digestibility is optimal, it does  not create annoying digestion problems which is found in many protein-based products on the market.

The increase in lean mass is fast and can be seen after just one week of intake if combined with constant physical activity. Lean mass increases optimally, obviously if the supplements are taken correctly. Below we see in detail the review of the various products in the range.

Impact Whey Protein Concentrate

These protein powders are obtained from whey and then concentrated, the protein percentage is 82% and can be taken at any time of the day. They contain a low percentage of carbohydrates (4%) and traces of lactose. The nutritional table shown on the Impact Whey Concentrate package is as follows (referred to 100 g of product):

• Fat 7.5 g of which 5 g saturated;
• Protein 82 g;
• Sale 0,5 g;
• Carbohydrates 4 g which are all sugars;
• Energy: 412 kcal;
• Branched chain amino acids per portion 4.5 g (portion of 25g).

These proteins can be taken practically at any time of the day, although it is preferable to take them before or after training. Preparing them is very simple because you just need to add a measuring spoon of powder (25 g) to about 200 mL of water or milk, shake vigorously for 20-30 seconds and drink the preparation. The price of these protein powders is 17.49 euros but I suggest you keep an eye on the site to take advantage of the advantageous discounts that are very frequent.

Impact Whey Protein Isolate

The protein content of this supplement is around 90%, so it is higher than that of concentrated proteins. The percentage of fat is very low (0.3%) and lactose is almost completely absent, but the product cannot be considered completely lactose-free. It has a higher percentage of protein and a wider amino acid spectrum than Impact Whey Protein Concentrate .  For this reason the price increases slightly and is 25.49 euros for the 1 kg bag.

These protein powders can be taken both before and after training, absorption is rapid and does not slow down the digestive process. 100 g of protein powder contains:

• Protein 90 g;
• Fat 0.3 g;
• Sale 0,5g;
• Carbohydrates 2.5g;
• Energy 373 kcal.

To maximize the full benefits of the product, the manufacturer suggests mixing one large 25 g scoop with approximately 150-250 mL of water, cow’s milk or plant milk. The drink obtained can be taken before work-out, after or during the day to increase the daily protein intake.

Our recommendations

We conclude with a brief focus with our advice. When to take protein powder? You can almost always take:

• At breakfast;
• Before or after training;
• In the evening before going to bed.

A nutritious breakfast is essential to start the day well. Proteins at breakfast help to have the right energy for the whole day and slow down the onset of hunger. Before training , taking protein helps to carry out physical activity by reducing fatigue.

After training they help to recover energy minimizing post-workout tiredness. The evening before going to sleep are essential to maintain muscle health.

Don’t forget that our guide is for informational purposes only and that if you are in any doubt about the right dose for your diet and energy consumption, we recommend that you contact your nutritionist. Incorrectly consuming protein can cause liver and kidney strain and also cause damage to the body. We talked about the contraindications of protein powders in a specific article that you can read here .

Getting the right amount of protein helps keep you healthy. If it is true that consuming too much protein puts a strain on the liver and kidneys, it is also true that consuming an insufficient dose of protein does not give the body and muscles the right energy.

If you take too little protein it is necessary to supplement it with an addition to avoid damage to the muscles. To understand if your diet is balanced and to decide the right amount of protein to take every day, you need to consult an expert nutritionist.

Assessing the protein intake in your everyday diet is the first step to achieving the desired physical shape while staying healthy . Remember that proteins alone will not give you a sculpted and perfect physique, but that you will have to train constantly and feed yourself in the correct way to achieve appreciable results. We wish you good training and will soon reach your goals!
