Natural Factors Whey Factors is a high-quality, low-carbohydrate protein powder drink mix, essential for physically active individuals due to its high biological value and concentration of muscle-enhancing branched-chain amino acids (BCAA). Research also shows that whey protein is beneficial to children, the elderly, and those who are immune-compromised.
Considered the “gold standard” for athletes and the physically active, it is well-known that whey protein has the highest “biological value,” a measurement of how well a protein retains nitrogen or how usable it is to the body, as high nitrogen absorption enhances muscle gain. Compared to other proteins, whey contains the highest concentration of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) that serve as important fuel sources for skeletal muscle during periods of metabolic stress, including exercise.
