The perfect proteins

Le proteine del siero del latte sono tra le migliori proteine esistenti: contengono tutti gli aminoacidi essenziali nelle corrette proporzioni per il fabbisogno umano e sono particolarmente ricche di leucina (necessaria per l’attivazione ottimale della sintesi proteica muscolare).

Which whey to choose

Which version to choose depends on personal needs and sensitivities.

Lactose and casein sensitivity
bovine isolates less than 1% of lactose and 0.5% of casein

Cow's milk or casein sensitivity
Goat milk concentrates: less than 0.5% casein A2 and 5% lactose

Ketogenic diet
Beef isolates: lower carbohydrate content

What do they taste like

Cow's milk concentrate: cooked milk flavor (like Galatina, but without sugar)
Whey isolate: neutral flavor
Concentrated goat: light goat flavor

Alternatives to Whey

Whey proteins are one of the best protein sources available, but not everyone tolerates them. Those with lactose and casein issues can consider bovine isolate proteins. While those with casein or cow's milk issues can opt for goat concentrate proteins.

If a person really can't tolerate them, you can use the’albumen powder or opt for a plant-based protein.
Soy protein isolate has the amino acid profile most similar to whey. Unfortunately, however, soy is an allergen and contains phytoestrogens. Furthermore, it could be GMO and therefore grown with large quantities of glyphosate. If possible, purchase an organic product.

Alternatively, a cereal + legume mixture can be used, which however does not have the complete amino acid profile present in soy protein; pay particular attention to the leucine content.

BEEF PROTEIN

Unfortunately, the proteins sold on the market as “beef protein” are not a valid alternative to whey. To evaluate proteins, you need to look at their amino acid profile. Beef protein contains only 4 grams of leucine per 100 g of product, while whey isolate contains 9.9 g. Leucine is crucial for initiating muscle protein synthesis. The table compares beef protein with whey isolate because both contain at least 90 g of protein per 100 g of product.

The amino acid profile of beef proteins is almost identical to that of collagen, because they are extracted from beef bones containing meat residues. They are not extracted from beef, as some companies would have you believe. Bones (including human bones) are composed of 20–30% protein, of which 90–95% is collagen.

Beef protein isolates from any brand have this amino acid profile. You informed me that Elisir's have an amino acid profile similar to whey. I wrote to customer service and they replied, “They derive from hydrolyzed bovine collagen obtained mainly from connective tissue, bones, and cartilage.” So the amino acid profile reported on their site is incorrect. I've reported it, but it hasn't been corrected yet.

The people who consume these products think they are consuming a protein extracted from bovine meat, and therefore with a high biological value amino acid profile (DIASS), but unfortunately, this is not the case.

How to hire them

HOW MUCH
according to individual protein supplementation needs
1 scoop = 4 grams

HOW
Dilute in a liquid, hot or cold; water is also fine. To mix to perfection use a milk whisk. They can also be added to: smoothie, yogurt, oatmeal, broth, soup, omelette, cake mixes, cookies, bread, etc. They can be cooked, nothing happens.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Live Better products can also be taken during pregnancy, except for Pure Biltong and Kaminwurz, as they are cured.
Pure Jerky is cooked, not raw meat, so there's no problem.

Better Mayo is made with pasteurized egg yolk. The yolk is pasteurized, undergoing a controlled heat treatment at 64°C for 8 minutes and then refrigerated at +2°C. Under proper storage conditions and shelf-life, the product is generally suitable for consumption during pregnancy. Unless otherwise indicated by a medical professional and in accordance with the storage instructions on the label.

The only caution is Chokkino because it contains caffeine
A cup of Chokkino espresso contains only 11 mg of caffeine (an espresso coffee contains 80 mg)
EFSA's recommended daily limit of caffeine for pregnant women is 200 mg
Caffeine is naturally present in cocoa, and therefore also in chocolate. However, chocolate contains less caffeine than cocoa powder.
Cocoa powder contains less cocoa butter and therefore the caffeine is "concentrated"

All Live Better products can be taken while breastfeeding.

Consult your doctor for special needs

No. As a matter of environmental sustainability all our bags do not contain a measuring cup. If they did contain it, customers who often buy our products would end up with a collection of measuring cups. This would make no sense, as the Earth is the only planet we have and we need to take care of it by living consciously. Instead, our boxes contain the measuring cup, as it is usually the first purchase a customer makes.

The date shown on NON-fresh products is not the expiration date, but the TMC.

TMC means Minimum Storage Term and is NOT an expiration date. The product is always perfectly edible after this date. When you read “best before...” on a product, it means it is not an expiration date but the TMC minimum shelf life.

PLEASE NOTE: Our products are very stable because they are in powdered form and contain mainly saturated fats, which are naturally very stable. We have tested many of them even more than one year past their TMC date, and they were still in perfect condition, including coconut milk, cocoa powder, erythritol, and arrowroot.

How to tell if a product is still good? Very simple!
Just take a look: are there any signs of mold, insects, or anything unusual?
Smell: smell?
If the answers to these two questions are no, the product is still good.

Think about this: the expiration date was invented 50 years ago. Humankind has existed for 2.5 million years. Your senses are perfectly capable of recognizing a product gone bad. Trust us!

10% of European food waste is caused by the misinterpretation of this date. Tell your friends about this important distinction between TMC and expiration date. Awareness will save the world.

Sì, si possono cuocere senza alcun problema
Attenzione: se si aggiungono a bevande o zuppe troppo calde si coagulano. Oltre 70°C le whey coagulano, questo non modifica il loro valore nutrizionale ma in bocca non è molto piacevole. Attendere che la bevanda o la zuppa si raffreddi un pochino. Oppure sciogli prima le whey in poco liquido freddo o tiepido, poi aggiungi gradualmente la bevanda/zuppa calda mescolando.

Yes, as they are whey proteins, they contain lactose.
Average lactose content:
bovine Concentrate 7/8%
Beef Concentrate with Lecithin 1%
Goat Concentrate 5%
Bovine Isolate 1%

Whey isolates are filtered more, which increases protein content and usually decreases lactose content.
Organic beef concentrate: 76% protein, 7/8% lactose
Goat milk concentrate: 80% protein, 5% lactose
Bovine isolate: 90% protein, less than 1% lactose
Isolates cost more, so they only make sense for people with lactose intolerance.

No, le whey sono un prodotto processato, non ultraprocessato. Altri prodotti processati sono: olio, sale, burro, miele solo per fare qualche esempio. Se vuoi approfondire l’argomento, click here.

Le proteine whey infatti vengono prodotte a partire dal siero del latte ottenuto dalla produzione del formaggio. ll siero è quello che si utilizza anche per produrre la ricotta. La produzione delle whey è molto semplice ed è composta solo da processi fisici, non chimici:
1) il siero viene filtrato attraverso una o più membrane che separano una parte di lattosio e grassi, per cercare di ottenere un liquido che contenga quasi esclusivamente proteine. Le whey concentrate subiscono solo una filtrazione, le whey isolate due, per questo contengono una percentuale più alta di proteine e una quantità inferiore di lattosio e grassi.

2) Dopo la filtrazione il liquido viene nebulizzato all’interno di un camera di essiccazione contenente aria calda che fa evaporare l’acqua. Si ottiene così la polvere del siero del latte, le proteine whey.
Assolutamente no. Le whey contengono i medesimi aminoacidi delle altre proteine animali. Il collagene invece è diverso: contiene tanta glicina, presente solo in piccole quantità nelle altre proteine.
Le whey contengono tante proteine in poco volume e proprio per questa ragione vengono usate da decenni dagli sportivi per aiutarsi a raggiungere un ottimale apporto proteico: uno shaker da 200 ml contiene 30 g di proteine.
Per la stessa ragione oggi vengono utilizzate con i farmaci GLP-1 agonisti (le punturine per dimagrire). Chi segue questa terapia spesso ha uno scarso appetito e lo stomaco che si riempie subito: le whey aiutano a raggiungere l’apporto proteico giornaliero perché in poco volume apportano tante proteine.

  • BEST WHEY

    Good flavor (neutral) with added fruit or vegetables results in excellent smoothies in both taste and texture. Reducing the water also achieves a mousse-like consistency.

  • BETTER WHEY - Pure, 1 k g

    Great. I've tried both cow's milk and goat's milk ones and they haven't given me any problems. I prefer the goat's milk ones because they seem lighter and quicker to digest. Super satisfied.,
