K-POW Whey Protein Product Breakdown

Protein is the building block of a healthy body. It’s the essential fuel that powers your success, from building lean muscle to maximizing recovery and achieving your fitness goals. But let's face it, getting enough protein from food alone can be a major challenge.

That's where K-POW Whey Protein steps in, providing you with a convenient and effective solution to bridge the protein gap and propel you towards your desired results. It's an essential macronutrient that your body craves yet struggles to produce on its own. Unlike carbohydrates and fats, protein cannot be stored for later use.

Consuming protein multiple times throughout the day is crucial for optimal health, recovery, and performance. For healthy, active, and relatively lean individuals it’s recommended to consume 0.8-1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. Eating that much protein on a daily basis from diet alone can be challenging for most people. It's a daunting task that leaves many of us falling short, hindering our progress towards achieving the health, fitness, and physique we desire.

Supplementing your diet with a high-quality protein powder is an easy and tasty way to hit your daily protein intake. It’s no surprise that protein powder is one of the most popular supplements on the market. There’s so many different types of protein powders available that it can be difficult for consumers to know which one is best. K-POW Whey Protein has been meticulously formulated to provide you with a superior protein source that's backed by science.

Whey & Casein: The Perfect Duo

While whey protein alone is a popular choice for many, we've taken it a step further with our innovative blend of whey and casein proteins in K-POW Whey Protein.

Whey protein is fast digesting and contains high amounts of naturally occurring branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and essential amino acids (EAAs), making it the perfect protein source for simulating muscle protein synthesis.

Casein is much slower digesting, but it also contains a high amount of BCAAs and EAAs making it more ideal for preventing muscle protein breakdown over an extended period.

By incorporating both whey and casein into K-POW Whey Protein, we've created a powerhouse formula that covers all your bases. You'll experience the immediate muscle repair and growth stimulation from whey protein.

The inclusion of casein provides a continuous stream of nourishment, preventing muscle breakdown and promoting satiety optimal recovery even hours after consumption.

K-POW Whey Protein Breakdown

There are hundreds of protein powders available, so what makes ours stand out amongst the competition. Not only do we use a combination of fast-digesting whey protein isolate and slow-digesting micellar casein K-POW Whey Protein is 100% naturally flavored and sweetened! 

It’s also soy-free, gluten-free, third-party tested, sugar-free, and contains only one gram of carbs per serving. Not to mention, it has a whooping 26 grams of protein per serving! We take transparency to the next level by fully disclosing the amino acid profile on the label.

The whey protein isolate and casein is cold-processed and micro-filtered to remove nearly all of the lactose, so even if you’re sensitive to lactose you should have no problem digesting K-POW Whey Protein!

Macronutrient Breakdown

When it comes to purchasing a protein powder, the more protein it contains per serving the better! Most protein powders have between 20-25 grams of protein per scoop but that’s just one piece of the puzzle. You should also look at how big a serving size is because that varies drastically and can signify the quality of the protein powder.

For example, the average serving size of K-POW Whey Protein is 33 grams and within that you get 26 grams of protein. This means our protein powder is 79% protein!

Other protein powders may have a 40-gram serving size and contain only 22 grams of protein per serving. So that protein powder is only 55% protein! As you can see, the protein powder that’s 55% protein contains a lot more fillers and other things that may disrupt your gut.

One scoop of K-POW Whey Protein contains:

  • 120 calories
  • 1.5 grams of fat
  • 1 gram of carbohydrates
  • 26 grams of protein

Ingredients

Here are all of the ingredients in K-POW Whey Protein, keep in mind that they vary slightly depending on the flavor!

Whey Protein Isolate

There are two primary types of whey protein on the market, whey protein isolate and whey protein concentrate. Whey protein isolate (WPI) is at least 90% protein by weight which means it contains virtually no carbs, fats, or sugars.

Whey protein concentrate can be anywhere from 35%-80% protein by weight so it contains much higher amounts of fat, lactose, and carbohydrates. We chose to use whey protein isolate as the primary protein source in K-POW Whey Protein because it's the purest form of whey protein you can get. Not to mention, it’s very easy on your digestive system.

Micellar Casein

The highest quality form of casein protein, micellar casein is added to improve the consistency, mixability, and versatility of K-POW Whey Protein. Since micellar casein digests slower than whey protein isolate, you will stay fuller for longer.

Micellar casein has a thicker consistency compared to whey protein isolate so it makes this protein better to cook and bake with! If you only use whey protein to cook with, it tends to dry out your recipes. Using whey protein on its own will also make the consistency of oats, yogurt, and smoothies watery.

Flavoring System

Here’s the ingredients we use to make K-POW Whey Protein taste phenomenal and mix effortlessly:

  • Natural Flafors
  • Non-GMO Ticaloid Ultrasmooth Powder - thickening agent
  • Stevia - natural sweetener
  • Monk fruit exract - natural sweetener
  • Cocoa powder - only found in the Chocolate Brownie flavor

As you can see, we kept the ingredient list short and sweet for K-POW Whey Protein. We added just enough of each ingredient to perfect the flavors and nothing more!

Flavors

K-POW Whey Protein is available in two outstanding flavors:

  • Chocolate Brownie - a rich and indulgent chocolate flavor that’s perfect for the chocolate lover!
  • Vanilla Bean - a simple, yet delicious, natural vanilla flavor that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with anything to enhance its flavor!

Suggested Use

As a dietary supplement, mix one scoop of K-POW Whey Protein with six to eight ounces of water, milk, or milk substitute. Consume anytime you need a high-quality protein source. Beyond protein shakes, K-POW Whey Protein is the perfect addition to your oatmeal, yogurt, cereal, or baked goods!

Whey vs Plant Protein Sources

Although there’s nothing wrong with plant protein sources, the research is quite clear, whey protein is the superior protein source. The biggest issue with plant protein sources is that they lack one or more of the essential amino acids.

That means they are not considered to be complete protein sources. You can solve that issue by using two complementary protein sources. However, you must consume more of them to get the same benefits as whey protein.

Whey and casein protein are complete protein sources and contain higher amounts of BCAAs and EAAs than any other protein source including whole foods. Whey protein is also one of the most well-researched supplements on the market.

Numerous studies indicate that ingesting whey protein helps with performance, recovery, and muscle growth. Whey protein even has immune-boosting properties! Unless you’re vegan or have a dairy allergy, whey protein undoubtedly stands out as an exceptional option to meet your daily protein goals.

Fuel Your Journey

What sets K-POW Whey Protein apart from the rest is its innovative blend of whey and casein proteins. By combining the benefits of rapid absorption and sustained release K-POW ensures that your muscles receive the nourishment they need, both immediately and over an extended period.

It's the winning formula that takes your results to new heights. Crafted with precision and care K-POW Whey Protein offers a convenient, delicious, and reliable solution to bridge the protein gap.
