Meal Replacement Shakes For Weight Loss

In an ideal world, you want to be eating around five to six meals per day consisting of low carbohydrate content and high in protein. However, it isn’t always practical to be preparing and cooking all these meals if you have other commitments such as a full time job.  For those times where whole food isn’t an option, then the next best thing is a meal replacement protein shake. For one, it is far healthier to consume a protein shake than it is with junk food or worse still skipping a meal!  As a rough guide, you don’t want to be replacing more than two meals with protein shakes.

Main Advantages Of Meal Replacement Shakes

  • convenience
  • simple

All about Reflex Micro Whey

Whey Protein Isolate with a splash a flavouring

For the fastest muscle-building protein anabolism, complete and immediate intestinal absorption of high quality protein is essential. Every shred of recent protein research suggests that undenatured whey protein isolate is the ultimate form of protein for building muscle and recovery. This is why Micro Whey has been the choice of tens of thousands of athletes with an enoumous 86% protein content that is proven on a weekly basis through rigorous protein testing.

Added Pro Biotics & Digestive Enzymes.

Another big difference between other standard whey products and Micro Whey is the standard inclusion of very special Digezyme enzymes and Lactospore pro-biotics. Digezyme enzymes have been extensively studied and shown to enhance protein digestion, whilst Lactospore pro-biotics, similar to those found in yoghurt, provide for a healthier gut. Note: Some brands will list pre-biotics, this is simply a term that describes a food source for beneficial bacteria, they DO NOT supply pro-biotic bacteria.

Preferentially selected Whey Protein, the Best.

We go to great lengths to ensure that Micro Whey contains preferentially selected batches of whey protein isolate which are carefully chosen to meet our very strict criteria that dictate the highest levels of protein, with virtually zero fat and carbohydrate. Its all sourced from the EU and does NOT contain any hormones or heavy metals which can be found in some non EU material.

Micro Whey contains Bio-Active Fractions

The whey protein found in Micro Whey is made using cross flow micro filtration. This unique process is carried out at low temperature to preserve many beneficial bio-active whey fractions like Glycomacropeptide, Lactoferrin, Immunoglobulin and others – please read our whey protein guide for more info with regard to their unqiue health effects.

Amazing range of flavours and sizes

Micro Whey comes in a huge range of flavours and sizes to suit just about everyone. You’ll be amazed just how easily they mix and how good they taste when you consider the 86% protein content.

Recommended Use

Take 3 measures (approx. 30 grams) and mix with 400ml of water or skimmed milk.

Consume 2-3 servings daily.

About Boditronics Express Whey

Boditronics Express Whey is a specific Blend of the very best quality Bio-available proteins. This unique blend of proteins ensures that an abundance of all protein Peptide bonded fractions are present, including high levels of L-Glutamine and Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA’s). These are essential for overall growth and specific muscle mass gains. These amino-fractions are also important components in many other functions including immune system integrity, brain cell function and integrity and other vital organs. They are also important components that assist in the maintenance of muscle integrity and metabolism during dieting. A main differentiator from other Whey Proteins is the inclusion of Prebiotics to aid digestion and promote digestive health and an optimum amount of Micellar Casein to ensure the continued release of Muscle building Amino Acids after the Whey digestion window, making Express Whey ideal for use not only Post Workout but at any time during the day when additional Protein is required.

The high levels of glutamine peptides in Express Whey work to enhance muscle growth and recovery as well as helping to prevent atrophy of valuable muscle tissue due to catabolic process that occurs during and after intense weight training.

The gentle cold press processing protects the active amino acid components in Express Whey from damage (denaturing). Therefore, Express Whey is the ideal choice as part of the strategy in the maintenance of a positive nitrogen balance (PNB) contributing to optimising muscle growth and recovery.

Express Whey is amongst the top few finest protein supplements on the market. The advantage over the other top brands is that all our flavours are really delicious and priced to be affordable.
