UltraWHEY WPC S Evo is the 100% concentrated whey protein, with a very high biological value and instant solubility, enriched with Bacillus spores to ensure maximum nutrient assimilation and vitamin B6 to support energy metabolism.
Production using micro- and ultrafiltration processes results in a Whey with a high protein value (70-85%).
UltraWHEY WPC S Evo naturally contains all the essential amino acids (EAA) and branched chain amino acids (BCAA), as well as various compounds characteristic only of this type of protein. WPCs (Whey Protein Concentrate) contain much higher levels of growth factors, phospholipids, bioactive lipids and often also immunoglobulins and lactoferrin. They are rapidly absorbed proteins with a good digestive speed (45 minutes to 1 hour), which makes them versatile in use.
UltraWHEY WPC S Evo is a protein that can in fact be used to enrich breakfasts, snacks and snacks, has a good taste and is very satiating.
Protein powder is suitable for meeting daily protein requirements, both for athletes with high protein needs and for sedentary people who want to enrich snacks and breakfasts.
Proteins, in fact, contribute to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass, have a plastic function (i.e. they participate in tissue repair and construction), constitute hormones and enzymes, act as transporters and participate, in the form of antibodies, in immune activities.
In addition, maintaining a correct protein intake helps avoid muscle catabolism, the process of muscle tissue destruction that can occur due to a lack of sufficient nutrients to cover the body's needs.
**But why choose a whey protein concentrate?
WPCs have a full amino acid profile of EAAs and BCAAs and high levels of Valine, Isoleucine and Leucine, which are significantly lower in plant-based proteins (as shown in the chart below). The total amount of essential (and non-essential) amino acids is also higher in whey protein concentrate than in protein from other sources.
In addition, WPCs have a high NPU (Net Protein Utilisation) value, which is higher than other types of protein: this parameter is very similar to the biological value. Both biological value and net utilisation of protein measure nitrogen retention, but the difference is that biological value is calculated based on the nitrogen absorbed, whereas net utilisation of protein is based on the nitrogen ingested. As the graph below shows, whey protein (WPC) is the best in terms of NPU.
**What distinguishes UltraWHEY WPC S Evo from other whey protein concentrates?
The formula of UltraWHEY WPC S Evo, in addition to being made up of 100% top-quality whey protein concentrate, is enriched by the presence of Bacillus spores and vitamin B6.
Vitamin B6 supports normal energy metabolism** and participates in the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and is therefore particularly useful for people practising sport.
Bacillus spores, in detail Bacillus subtilis natto BSN287 and Bacillus coagulans BC208, are added to ensure good gastro-intestinal function, the natural balance of intestinal flora and complete assimilation of nutrients, which maximises protein supply to the muscles.
The spores of Bacillus are protected by a 5-layer transport system, a coating chosen to act as a barrier and protect the bacilli from the highly acidic pH of the stomach (typically around pH 1.5-3.5). This system allows for a protected transit of the bacilli to the gut, and the multilayer coating ensures that as the layers degrade, new protective barriers remain around the spores, safeguarding them until they reach their target site.

In addition, the 5-layer transport system degrades and dissolves sequentially, allowing the Bacillus spores to be released in a staggered manner and maximising their functions, thus allowing the bacilli to adhere to the intestinal epithelium and enhancing its adhesion capacity. This system also allows the bacilli, which are usually sensitive to oxygen, light and moisture, to remain viable and stable, thus arriving fully functional.
UltraWHEY WPC S Evo is a concentrated whey protein of the highest quality, gluten-free and with an optimal formula to support protein requirements, but which does not put taste in second place. The delicious flavour and creamy texture make it a protein for all palates.
