Benefits
Why Protein?
25 Grams of High Quality Protein: Shakewell boasts 25 grams of high quality protein, from organic whey isolate, the perfect amount of protein to kickstart muscle protein synthesis (MPS).
Build Muscle & Lose Fat
Protein is the most satiating (filling) of all the macronutrients, and whey protein is more satiating than other proteins such as soy and casein. These properties make Shakewell a useful tool for those looking to eat fewer calories in order to lose fat, and grow lean muscle. Read more here!
High Quality Protein
High quality protein is vital for the repair and building of lean muscle mass, and whey protein is as high quality as it gets. It has the right amount of essential amino acids to give it a perfect digestibility score (DIAAS), so every gram of protein from whey is absorbed quickly by your body! See the DIAAS chart here!
Leucine
As muscle declines with age, a high protein diet and resistance training become more important. Whey is particularly rich in the branched‐chain amino acid leucine, the most growth‐promoting amino acid. Read more!
Longevity
A diet rich in high quality protein is the ultimate way to supplement your workouts and increase lean muscle. Lean muscle helps the immune system, allows for a better glucose response and gives your body a vital fuel should you end up sick or bed-ridden. Read more!
Electrolyte Rich
Shakewell is rich in naturally occurring, hydrating electrolytes such as potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium and sodium.
Moderates Blood Sugar
Whey protein has been found to be effective at moderating blood sugar, increasing both the levels of insulin and the sensitivity to its effect. Taking a whey protein supplement before or with a high-carb meal has been shown to moderate blood sugar in both healthy people and those with type 2 diabetes. Read more here!
