Question 1: [What is WPC80]

If you search on Baidu, you will know that Whey Protein Concentrate means concentrated whey protein, and the 80 in the back indicates that its protein content is less than or equal to 80%.

Any brand you eat, such as BSN or Muscle Technology, etc., is processed by WPC80 powder as the main raw material, but different brands cooperate with different companies.

However, WPC80 is not the only one in the world. There is also WPI90, which is whey protein isolate. This protein content is higher, but because it is highly purified, it is more expensive. You will directly recognize some brands if you look at them. Whey protein isolate actually only contains a certain proportion of whey isolate, not that it is all whey protein isolate.

In addition to high-grade ones, there are also low-grade ones, which are used for the processing of simple foods such as milk powder. For example, I have seen WPC30 34. These prices are much cheaper than 80 powder, and some are even more than half the price.

Some protein powders are marked as WPC80, but in fact their raw materials are a mixture of milk protein and plant protein (soybean). For example, the more famous Granbia brand protein powder, if you have seen the whole bag packaging , you will see the words "derived from milk & soy", so if you simply calculate the protein content, the Op brand must be the highest (Granbia is Op's raw material powder), because plant protein is also included, so there are some When my friends eat certain Opu flavors, they feel a fishy smell. This is the reason.

In addition to these, there are also casein and colloid types (non-instant type), which are actually the raw materials of various brand powders.

Question 2 [Is 80 fans good?]

The advantage of 80 fans is that it is relatively cheap and saves money, but oftenPeople who are exposed to such products should know that the price of this product has increased significantly in recent years.

Let’s first talk about a few promotional strategies commonly used by businesses

Strategy 1: High protein content.

Yes, the protein content of 80 powder is very good, which will give people the illusion that I will consume high protein after eating it.

In fact, the quality and absorption of protein powder does not depend on whether the concentration of the protein powder you eat is high, but on how much you can absorb.

Strategy 2: Absorb quickly

Many businesses will tell you that whey protein is absorbed quickly. In fact, just because you ingest it and absorb it, it does not mean that it will be broken down into essential amino acids and then used to repair muscles. This is because 80 powder is a raw material powder. , lack of necessary digestive enzymes, if you take it, it does not mean that you can absorb it. This is like a class with only 30 seats, and 60 students come in, then the excess can only be regarded as some waste.

In addition, because whey protein is absorbed too quickly, it is only suitable for intake after exercise and not at other times.

This is true even for brands,

The biggest difference between 80 powder and brand-name powder is that brand-name protein powder usually adds glutamine and other substances to prevent muscle decomposition. This is because whey protein alone will reduce the secretion of anabolic insulin. This will promote the increase of cortisone, and cortisone will hinder the growth of muscles, so you will see trace elements such as glutamine, aspartic acid, zinc and magnesium in general brands of protein powder. This is not for the purpose of bulking up. That nutrition table is really useful, not just a cloud.

Finally, everyone knows that when the body's glycogen is insufficient, taking protein directly will be decomposed as energy, so when you supplement 80 powder after training, it is best to eat some simple sugars, which are not well absorbed. If you drink it directly, you are just mentally replenishing protein.

For the problem of lack of digestive enzymes, in addition to mixing with brand powder, you can also mix with some milk, milk powder, etc., which have more or less digestive enzymes, or eat some fruits such as papaya that contain a lot of decomposing enzymes. Might as well be a good idea.

In short, 80 powder cannot be eaten directly or on an empty stomach, nor can it be eaten at any time. If you want to eat it, eat it after training. It is a bad idea to choose it unless you have money. If you have enough money to buy chicken breast, Beef, then eat these. At least 100 grams can guarantee more than 20 grams of protein, which is equivalent to drinking a spoonful of Op. Post-exercise is a good time for protein absorption, but it does not mean that you should not eat protein powder after exercise. You will be much worse than others. Muscle repair is not as fast as you think. Paying attention to how much protein you eat in a day is more helpful than paying attention to how many protein drinks you drink after exercise.

Question 3: [Bacterial problem with 80 powder]

80 powder has its own physical and chemical indicators. As long as such imported products enter the country legally, they will be randomly inspected as food additives. Those that fail will be exposed on the website and directly returned or destroyed.

The consumption standard of 80 powder is basically the same as the national standard GB of milk powder. Because it is used as the main raw material, there is no problem in eating it.

This is what I said before. As I said at the beginning, now I have upgraded, so I have made some new discoveries.

1: First of all, most businesses now actually split 20KG and pack it themselves. I don’t know what environment they do this process, so hygiene and customs clearance cannot be the same, even if it is Whatever he says, if you haven't seen it, you can only look at his integrity.

2: Because 80 powder is raw material powder, the storage requirements are relatively strict. Why does it choose three-layer kraft paper packaging with paint for import? This is for better anti-bacteria, and if you use it at home, it is considered to be on the market. First of all, their packaging is very hygienic, but if you don't handle the environment well at home, bacteria will breed faster than ordinary brand powders. So the most reliable thing is to seal it well and keep it in the refrigerator until you eat it.

3: Different brands of 80 powder have slight differences in terms of fat content, fineness of powder, and color. However, this is not a way to judge the authenticity of the powder.

Question 4: [About authenticity]

First of all, let me explain. Many friends sent me a website to ask me whether it was true or false. I said it was very stressful. I am only LV: 4 and do not have the power supply for electronic eye scanning, so I really can’t tell.

Secondly, some people will say that so-and-so’s products are not good. For example, I saw someone some time ago saying that the protein content sold by a company in Dalian is not enough. In fact, this is possible, because I said before that the price of 30 powder is much lower, but Anyone who says this will get rid of you and bring out a professional test report.

It states what the test object is, where it was tested, the specific content report, and finally, don’t brag and stamp it with an official seal.

Now the local industrial and commercial bureau, even a district industrial and commercial bureau, can help you detect these. It is useless for you to say it yourself, because those who really have problems will be very persistent. Although I am not optimistic about the domestic market, But I also remain cold-blooded towards people who make unreasonable remarks about "dirty colleagues".

There are also some protein detection methods, such as burning, stinking, boiling water, etc. In fact, these are not very accurate, they are just very folk methods.

Finally, melamine... Actually, there is no need to add melamine to this type of raw material powder, because melamine is used to deceive protein testing equipment when collecting milk. This test has been eliminated in France. If the merchants are lying to you,, will not choose such a foolish old man to move mountains.

Finally, protein powder is protein powder, and it is a way to supplement protein.

However, it does not mean that you must eat protein powder for fitness and bodybuilding. Remember, it is just a way to supplement protein.

The meaning of eating protein powder is the same as eating seafood, chicken breast, beef, poultry, eggs, and soy products, but the form is different and the absorption speed is different.
