New Published Scientific Study Shows VP2 Whey Isolate to be
The Most Effective Muscle-Building Protein Supplement Made
Research recently completed on VP2 Whey Isolate has just been presented at the
2002 American College of Sports Medicine's annual conference, and the results
are nothing short of amazing.
In a double-blind, controlled research setting two groups of experienced, equally
matched, drug-free bodybuilders underwent a 10-week intense training program
Max-OT style! One group supplemented their diet with VP2 Whey Isolate, the other
group used an equal amount of a standard protein supplement (found commonly
in many supplements). The results obtained by the bodybuilders using VP2 Whey
Isolate amazed everyone, even the elite team of scientists at Victoria University
that performed the research.
VP2 Whey Isolate produced:
- an average gain of 11 pounds in pure muscle
- a decrease of over 3 pounds in body fat without dieting
- a 110 pound increase in the bodybuilder's best squat
- a 45 pound increase in the bodybuilder's best bench press
All in just ten weeks!
This research was selected to be presented in full, at the American College of Sports Medicine's 49th Annual Meeting, 2002 in St Louis, Missouri. This convention was also held in conjunction with the 6th International Olympic Committee's World Congress on Sport Science, making it one of the most significant gatherings in recent sports science history.
This research was the first to examine the effects of different proteins during
bodybuilding exercise, using experienced lifters, in a real-world setting. The
results are in and they are crystal clear. For building muscle all protein supplements
are definitely not the same.
VP2 Whey Isolate is the only whey protein verified in scientific research to pack on muscle and transform your physique. Make no mistake, VP2 is different than any supplement you may have tried. VP2 is formulated using state-of-the-art, cutting-edge protein technology. It's uniquely designed to accelerate the adaptation process of bodybuilding exercise. Now, VP2 has been proven to build you more muscle, faster.

Abstract #1688
THE EFFECT OF WHEY ISOLATE AND RESISTANCE TRAINING ON STRENGTH, BODY COMPOSITION AND PLASMA GLUTAMINE

It is well-established that athletes undertaking intense resistance training
programs require higher dietary protein intakes. However very few studies have
addressed what type of protein is optimal to enhance effects from weight training
exercise. Whey isolate and casein are two protein supplements commonly used
by bodybuilders and other strength athletes.
PURPOSE:
This study examined the effects of these two supplements on strength, body composition
and plasma glutamine levels during a 10-week intense resistance training program.
METHODS:
In a randomized, double-blind protocol thirteen resistance-trained males (mean
± SD age:25.5 ± 6.68yr; height:179.67 ± 7.94cm; weight:83.97 ± 4.98kg.) supplemented
their normal diet with either a 100% whey isolate or casein protein supplement
(1.5gms/kg body wt/day) for 12 weeks. To ensure normal eating patterns were
maintained, written three-day food recordings were completed by the bodybuilders
throughout the study. Compliance to the supplement intake and nutrition recordings
was 100%. Strength was assessed by 1-RM in the barbell bench press, squat and
lat-pull down. Body composition was assed by DEXA QDR 4500. Plasma glutamine
levels were determined by the enzymatic method with spectroscopic detection.
All assessments occurred in the week before (week 1) and the week after training
(week 12).
RESULTS:
The whey isolate group achieved a significantly greater gain (P < 0.01) in lean
mass than the casein group (4.99 ± 0.25 vs. 0.81 ± 0.43 kg for whey and casein
groups, respectively). While both groups significantly increased (P < 0.05)
strength in the three exercises assessed, the whey isolate group made greater
strength increases (P < 0.05) in all three exercises compared to the group supplementing
with casein. The whey isolate group also showed a significantly greater (P <
0.05) change in fat mass (-1.46 ± 0.52) than the casein group (+0.19 ± 0.27
kg). Plasma glutamine levels, pre- and post-training, did not change in either
group.
CONCLUSION:
The major finding of this study was that a 100% whey isolate protein supplement
was more effective at increasing muscle mass and strength and decreasing fat
mass than a casein protein supplement in resistance trained athletes. Both types
of protein appear to prevent a decline in plasma glutamine levels that have
previously been reported with intense exercise training. Supported by AST Sports
