The “Natural” Whey Protein

Posted Jan 22 2009 3:40pm 1 Comment

natwhey I am a huge fan of Optimum Nutrition’s 100% Whey and have used it for years. It’s the very first thing I have each morning, because I work out early, I don’t have the time to eat a meal, so this works perfect for me.

Ever since I posted about the No Sugar For 30 Days, I have been wanting to post about this supplement. Optimum Nutrition has now come out with the 100% Natural Whey. What does “Natural” mean? It means that there are no artificial flavors, colors or sweetners. Instead they use Stevia Extract and here are some if it’s benefits:

“Stevia extract is a super-sweet, low-calorie dietary supplement that helps regulate blood sugar and supports the pancreas. It is valuable for anyone with diabetes and hypoglycemia.

It is a wonderful aid to weight loss and weight management because it contains no calories. In addition, research indicates that it significantly increases glucose tolerance and inhibits glucose absorption. People who ingest stevia daily often report a decrease in their desire for sweets and fatty foods. It may also improve digestion and gastrointestinal function, soothe upset stomachs, and help speed recovery from minor illnesses…

Stevia also inhibits the growth of some bacteria and infectious organisms, including those that cause tooth decay and gum disease. Many individuals using stevia have reported a lower incidence of colds and flu. Many who have used stevia as a mouthwash have experienced a significant decrease in gum disease.”

oatsandwhey I also noticed they have another Natural product called, 100% Natural Oats and Whey. I do sometimes add oats to my shake in the morning, depending on what type of workout I will be doing, as the 100% Whey is lower in carbs. Now you can just buy them together, with no artificial sweetners, or flavorings! It comes in Milk Chocolate and Vanilla Bean flavor.

I have not yet tried the Natural Whey, but am curious and would like to give them a try. If I can get the same benefits, with the same yumy flavor (one of the reasons why I use Optimum Nutrtition…other than Prograde, its the best tasting protein supplement I have found), I am up for trying it!

Have you used the Natural Whey or would you be willing to try it? Let us know your thoughts!

I've been looking for a high quality whey protein isolate that doesn't contain acesulfame potassium or sucralose. It seems 90% of all whey proteins out there contain these ingredients. Luckily I found a Whey Protein Isolate All Natural (use stevia as well) Check out their website: http://www.wheydepot.com/en/whey_protein_supplements/Isolate/p16860033.html


I just like their products and the way they've treated me and feel like promoting a Canadian company that is doing things right (all natural whey protein isolate - it's pretty rare in Canada...   Thought i would post this for some of my fellow Canadians. Especially since I get it over faster and no problems with customs etc...

here some benefits of this whey protein isolate - only available in Canada
