Tower+ Pure Whey Protein Isolate + Creatine is low in fat and carbohydrates and contains more protein than the TLS Nutrition Shake. The filtration process of whey protein removes more than the fat and carbohydrates found naturally in protein; it also removes any of the naturally occurring vitamins and minerals. TLS Nutrition Shake is made with whey and pea protein and offers, in addition to high-quality whey protein concentrate, 10 grams of resistant fiber (Fibersol-2) and contains a blend of vitamins and minerals. TLS Nutrition Shake is ideal for those looking to establish sufficient protein and fiber in a weight loss program or who are looking to support their nutrition with an occasional meal replacement shake. The main goal of Tower+ Pure Whey Protein Isolate + Creatine is to support healthy muscle growth and strength and adults above the age of 18.

The three amino acids that make up branched-chain amino acids are leucine, l-isoleucine and l-valine. These amino acids are essential to humans, meaning they must be consumed through one’s diet since the body does not create them on its own. BCAAs are specifically known for their metabolic properties, including protein synthesis. Leucine is specifically known to be the most important BCCA for playing the biggest role in promoting muscle protein synthesis.

According to the American College of Sports Medicine, a healthy recommended daily intake of BCCA’s should follow a 2:1:1 ratio of leucine (45 mg/kg/day) to isoleucine and valine (22.5 mg/kg/day).8,9 The amino acid profile of Tower+ Pure Whey Protein Isolate + Creatine meets the stringent requirements for those following a performance diet.

Whey protein isolate is more pure or cleaner than other forms of whey protein because it goes through a purification process known as crossflow microfiltration in which various particles (i.e., fats, carbohydrates and lactose, etc.) are filtered out of the protein. This filtration process makes whey protein isolate lower in carbs and fat, creating an ideal environment for muscle protein synthesis and quick assimilation of essential amino acids into the bloodstream and muscle tissue.

This shake has a great French vanilla taste that is sweetened with stevia. The isolate whey protein is sourced from grass-fed cows, making it the purest in form. In addition, our product contains creatine monohydrate coupled with papain, which is an enzyme that can help aid the body’s digestive process. Pure whey protein isolate contains a greater percentage of total protein per serving and is an effective option for individuals seeking to maximize their protein intake without unnecessary calories, fats, carbohydrates or additives.

Nonessential amino acids can be formed by the body and are important for overall health. There are nine total essential amino acids, which are not created by the body, and have been shown to be more important for supporting healthy muscle growth. The essential amino acids that have been shown to have the most effect on muscle protein synthesis are BCAAs.

Tower+ Pure Whey Protein Isolate + Creatine contains animal-derived whey protein isolate that comes from cow’s milk. Therefore, this product is considered to be vegetarian for ovo-lacto vegetarians since it is dairy derived, but it is not vegan.

Anyone who is looking to consume a low-fat, low-carb or performance diet would benefit, including physically active individuals such as bodybuilders and athletes, as well as individuals who are interested in a pre- or post-fitness or strength training workout supplement or who want to promote healthy muscle growth and strength. Regardless of age or activity level, everyone’s metabolism will naturally slow down. Protein helps to keep your muscles strong, and good muscle health serves as a savings account for longevity.

This product can be used as a pre- or post-workout shake. One may benefit from using this shake as an energy source when taken as a pre-workout supplement and as extra support for your muscles when taken as a post-workout supplement. Because Tower+ Pure Whey Protein Isolate + Creatine has both creatine and papain enzymes added for performance, this product can be used both pre- and post-exercise. The most optimal time for taking this product as a post-workout supplement would be within 30 minutes after exercise, when human growth hormone is still active from physical activity.
