Oats are a nutritious source that many people love, whether or not they are very physically active. For convenience, this product combines oats with high-quality whey protein to create a meal that can be consumed at any time of the day to support daily activities. The added protein comes exclusively from whey. Dietary proteins are a source of nitrogen and essential amino acids that the body needs to grow and maintain tissue. Therefore, Oat ‘n’ Whey protein helps to increase and preserve muscle mass and also to maintain normal bones.
Whey proteins are so-called complete proteins because they provide the body with all the necessary amino acids, including the 9 amino acids (i.e. histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine) that are considered essential for life, because the body cannot synthesize them. To determine the nutritional effectiveness of dietary protein, in most cases, the body’s ability to absorb and retain nitrogen from dietary protein and to balance daily nitrogen losses is assessed.
Net protein utilization (NPU) is the percentage of ingested nitrogen that is retained in the body, and biological value (BV) is the percentage of absorbed nitrogen that is retained. Biological value is the result of net protein utilization and digestibility. Whey protein has good digestibility and amino acid composition, so it has a high biological value compared to other dietary protein sources such as meat, fish, eggs or soy.
This product provides an added amino acid, taurine.
