I finally got around to trying some new protein powder. When I was in Denmark and training I used the protein powder from Bodylab. To me this protein powder tasted good, it is a good quality and it was a good price pr.kg.
There are many protein brands especially when you are in North America then the sky is the limit. But finding something that is pure in quality with no additives is a bit harder. The next trick is to find protein powder from cows that are grass feed and not corn feed. The reason for this is the omega 3 to omega 6 ratio. Through our modern food we get a lot of omega 6, but not as much omega 3. Our physiology is wired for an, n-3/n-6 ratio from 1-1 or 1-2. The levels of n-3/n-6 in the North American diet is today approximately 1-40.
Omega 3 is one of the best natural anti-inflammatory remedies to reduce what Barry Sears, founder of The Zone Diet calls, silent inflammation. If the cows are corn feed the ratio of omega 6 will be higher and you risk getting to much omega 6 and therefor you risk many of the lifestyle deceases out there including silent inflammation. To learn more about the omega fatty acids there is a excellent chapter in Robb Wolf’s book The Paleo Solution page.111-113.
I found a protein powder made from New Sealand Whey Isolate. New Sealand Whey has for years been know for its purity and no pesticides policy. Probiotic Whey Isolate from Quantum Nutrition Inc, is a new all-natural product that meets all the guidelines for quality (100% New Zealand whey; non GMO; antibiotic, hormone and pesticide-free) and it contains 5 billion CFU Prolife probiotics in each serving. Probiotics are friendly bacteria, and help us absorb more daily nutrients and aid in protein absorption. Unless you’re eating naturally-fermented sauerkraut on a regular basis, you could probably use some more probiotics in your life!
When I have tried it for some time I will let you guys know what I think about it. If any of you have any other products you would like me to try out and write a review about feel free to email me.
