Whey Protein Isolate is the primary ingredient.
Natural Whey contains whey protein isolate as the main source of protein; arguably the most expensive and purest form of protein available, other brands nearly always use whey protein concentrate as the main ingredient. It also contains a totally exclusive Muscle Drive peptide complex. This complex is a precise combination of two muscle building ingredients:
Peptide Bonded Glutamine
Natural Whey contains Peptide bonded glutamine which is utilised more effectively by the body than standard free form L-Glutamine, thus helping recovery after strenuous exercise.
Important note: We don't add L-Glutamine, please don't confuse the two. L-Glutamine is not a very stable amino acid, whilst its absolutely fine by itself i.e our pure L-Glutamine powder, its not a good idea to combine it with whey protein - it can degrade into ammonia and in the presence of other proteins your body will find it difficult to absorb.
