Nature's Best Isopure

By Anssi Manninen, MHS

Highest Quality Whey Protein Available

It's Not Low Lactose; It's No Lactose!

In January of 1987, Nature's Best had its first major breakthrough. Carbo Power, a 16-ounce high-carb beverage designed to enhance exercise performance of all athletes was a smashing success. However, nowadays, carbs are out and proteins are in, and that's where Isopure comes into the picture. The trademark of Isopure actually represents a group of Nature's Best products, which all provide lactose-free whey protein isolate as their sole source of protein. A growing body of evidence indicates that whey protein supplementation could enhance lean body mass in conjunction with appropriate training. In addition, bioactive compounds from whey may also improve immune function and gastrointestinal health. Let's briefly discuss the most popular Isopure products.

Isopure

In July 1998, Nature's Best launched a new meal-replacement supplement under the trademark of Isopure. A serving of this fat-free product provides 50 grams of whey protein isolate, 25 grams of carbs, roughly 6 grams of glutamine, and vitamins and minerals. As noted above, all formulations of Isopure are lactose free, which means less gastric disturbance with minimal bloating, a huge advantage to those who are lactose-intolerant. Isopure can be used as a meal replacement and as a pre/post-exercise supplement. Isopure comes in large jars (8.8 pounds), individual packets (20 x 86g/box) and ready-to-drink beverages (40g protein/591 ml).

Isopure Zero-Carb

As the name implies, this product is practically zero-carbs (chocolate flavor contains some carbs). One serving (65g) of powdered IsoPure Zero-Carb provides 50 grams of whey protein isolate and vitamins and minerals. Sweetened with apartame-free Sucralose™, the only zero-calorie sweetener made from sugar. Isopure Zero-Carb comes in jars (3 pounds) and ready-to-drink beverages (40g protein/591 ml). This is an excellent precontest product for bodybuilders and fitness chicks.

Isopure MASS

Isopure MASS is a relatively high-carb "weight-gainer." One serving contains 53 grams of whey protein isolate, 86 grams carbs and vitamins and minerals. This is a good product for those who have a hard time gaining weight. IsoPure MASS can be used as a post-exercise supplement, too. Comes in jars (3.25 pounds and 7 pounds) and ready-to-drink beverages (35g protein and 53g carbs/591 ml). All Isopure formulations are trans fat-free and are manufactured within the continental United States under the strictest quality-control guidelines and regulations. None of the protein used in Nature's Best products have been imported from China. For more information on Nature's Best products, visit www.musculardevelopmentstore.com/nature-s-best.html.
