Introducing Ultimate Nutrition Protein Isolate, a new wheat based protein shake! Protein is one of the most important supplements for all athletes, but it is especially indispensable for those involved in long-term, high intensity endurance training. It is the fuel for the build-up, mass and toning of the muscle. In fact, protein is essential for growth and development.

Wheat protein offers all the benefits of dairy based proteins without any of the lactose and cholesterol. Additionally, it is suitable for use by vegan athletes. Wheat protein also offers a higher Glutamic Acid level than many comparable dairy based protein shakes.

Ultimate Nutrition Protein Isolate is fortified with digestive enzymes for optimal nutrient absorption and offers many benefits:

20g protein per serving
Added digestive enzymes
Only 1 g of sugar per serving
Zero lactose and zero cholesterol
Suitable for vegans and the lactose intolerant

Ultimate Nutrition utilizes only the highest-grade wheat protein isolate. Due to its unique high glutamic acid/glutamine content, interest in wheat protein is on the rise. During times of physical stress, glutamine reserves are depleted and need to be replenished through supplementation. Weightlifters and bodybuilders realize that glutamine is critical for muscle building because it is a nitrogen donor, meaning that it moves the nitrogen around in the body to where it is needed. Anyone that pushes the iron understands that a positive nitrogen balance is necessary criteria in the effort to gain muscle mass.

Glutamine is the ultimate anti-catabolic preventing muscle wasting which lessens the degree of muscle damage and soreness. It helps the body to secrete its own growth hormone which trigger's the release of IGF-1 (Insulin Growth Factor 1). This hormone helps promote weight loss, increase lean body mass, and increase bone density. Also, it neutralizes lactic acid burn in your muscles by releasing Plasma Bicarbonate allowing you to work out longer.

Ultimate Nutrition Protein Isolate is available in Vanilla Crème and Chocolate Crème 3lb (57 serving) containers. Protein Isolate is beneficial to athletes, bodybuilders, and anyone looking to improve their overall health through a healthy diet.

I always wondered why UN's protein was so cheap, considering it was an isolate, but then I found out it was wheat protein. Still, it's very low in fat and carbs and has a nice AA profile. The drawbacks though, are that it tastes pretty bad, though not unbearable, and the mixability is a joke. I tried to get a pudding-like consistency which is normally never a problem, but this rolled up into a sticky ball. This is the first chewy protein shake I've ever had. Would not recommend.

Category: Protein suitable for vegans especially. It contains zero lactose, zero cholesterol, and only 1 gram of sugar.

Profile: Wheat is the protein of choice used. It is not a wheat concentrate, but a better wheat isolate. It also has digestive enzymes which makes digestion smooth.

Mixing: It was easy to mix one scoop in 9 fl.oz. No problems noticed

Taste: The taste is one of a kind. This is certainly due to the protein being wheat-based. I have not tried a wheat protein before this, so I guess the flavor is alright. I give it a 7 out of 10 in taste whether it be milk or water.

Price: 57 servings for $19.99 has to be an amazing price for 3lbs.

Overall: Great alternative for vegans or anybody else.

Texture		Cheap, and its Isolate, though WHEAT isolate, so it has a very "vegan" like texture and flavor to it.

Texture		While both flavors are rather on the chalky side,
Taste		While both flavors are rather on the chalky side,
Taste		the chocolate tastes fine simply mixed with water in a blender,
Taste		but the vanilla was bad, it tasted like plain flour rather than a vanilla flavor.
Mixes well		While it did not clump,
Value for money		but don't waste your money on the vanilla at any price.
Ingredient profile		Note: Wheat proteins have a good Amino Acid profile for a plant based protein and are very high in Glutamic Acid,


Taste		This stuff is pretty nasty tasting;
Taste		however, if you add between a teaspoon and tablespoon of peanut butter you'll almost completely mask the bad flavor.
