Health Benefits of Whey Protein Isolate

Gone are the days when whey protein isolate is only for dude-bros and cardio bunnies with their creatines, BCAAs, hashtags and fitfams (please excuse my curmudgeonry). There are actually a lot more health benefits involved when using Whey Protein Isolate as a daily supplement. However, don’t get it twisted. If you’re eating a well-balanced diet with lean protein, fiber, fruits and veggies, along with the good carbs, and you’re not seeing the results you’re looking for in the mirror, whey protein isolate will help you get better results. But it shouldn’t be the only reason you add whey protein isolate to your daily regimen. Here are some great health benefits of whey protein isolate.

May Help Lower Blood Pressure 

Is Janice from accounting stressing you out to the point that your blood pressure is through the roof? Studies have shown that whey protein isolate could help lower blood pressure and improve vascular function. An Australian study concluded that when subjects were given whey protein isolate twice a day for 12 weeks they showed a 4% reduction and 3% reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure respectively. We can’t help you with Janice, though. Good luck with that.

Aids in Weight Loss 

How do I shred body fat without losing too much muscle mass? An age old question that has plagued gym-goers for, well, a long time. A clinical study, published in Nutrition & Metabolism, showed that the participants who used whey protein isolate not only lost significantly more body fat they were also able to preserve more of their lean muscle compared to the control group.

Manage Stress

A study conducted in the Netherlands put participants through experimental stress, and the study showed that participants who were given whey protein seemed in a better mood and they showed fewer symptoms of depression. So, next time you’re feeling stressed about the meaning of life try looking for the answer at the bottom of your shaker bottle.
