DY Nutrition ShadoWhey

Shadowhey Protein Concentrate was developed for physically active individuals and athletes who want to shorten recovery times between training sessions while simultaneously enhancing muscle growth. Shadowhey is naturally rich in BCAAs and glutamine, is quickly digested, and is perfect for post-workout recovery or as a convenient protein source spread throughout the day between meals.

How it works: Whey protein concentrate is a by-product of cheese production and is therefore a highly bioavailable substance that the body can quickly absorb after physical exertion to repair muscle tissue and build new tissue. Studies have repeatedly shown that supplementing with whey protein leads to improvements in muscle mass building and regeneration.

BCAAs, or branched-chain amino acids (L-isoleucine, L-leucine, and L-valine), contribute to the development of muscle mass, reduce muscle soreness and fatigue after training, and prevent catabolism – muscle breakdown when the body starts using muscle as an energy source.

L-isoleucine is an essential amino acid that acts as a catalyst for protein synthesis. It can stimulate anabolic processes throughout the body and support the development of specific hormones such as growth hormone or testosterone.

L-leucine is an essential amino acid that is typically found in certain foods such as eggs, fish, and chicken. L-leucine can boost the production of growth hormones while also helping to increase physical endurance.

L-valine is an essential amino acid that serves as an energy reserve for human cells. A deficiency of L-valine in the diet also leads to a deficit in muscle tissue growth after training.
