It provides 6.9 g BCAAs per serving and is third-party tested by Informed Sport for banned substances, manufactured in a US cGMP-compliant facility under 21 CFR Part 111. Available in Dutch Chocolate and Creamy Vanilla. Indicated for lean muscle protein synthesis support, post-exercise recovery, and dietary protein supplementation in active adults and athletes including those in weight management or body recomposition programmes.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSports Research Whey Protein Isolate — Product Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhey protein isolate (WPI) is the most rapidly absorbed dietary protein source, with a Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score (DIAAS) and Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) of 1.0—the maximum rating—making it the benchmark protein for lean muscle protein synthesis (MPS) research. Sports Research's cold-process, cross-flow microfiltration method preserves native whey protein fractions including alpha-lactalbumin, beta-lactoglobulin, immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, and glycomacropeptide without the protein denaturation associated with high-heat processing or acid treatment ion-exchange isolation methods. The result is a biologically active protein matrix with superior branched-chain amino acid retention compared to heat-processed concentrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe addition of 1 g free-form L-leucine per serving is clinically meaningful: leucine is the primary mTORC1-pathway activating amino acid, and evidence from meta-analyses (PMID: 25169440) demonstrates that leucine co-administration with protein feeds significantly amplifies the MPS response, particularly important in older adults (sarcopenia management) and clinical populations with elevated protein catabolism. The MCT powder addition supports energy substrate availability during fasting or low-carbohydrate training windows. This profile makes Sports Research WPI a scientifically credentialed choice for fitness-oriented consumers, athletes under Sports Singapore registered programmes, and clinically directed nutrition support for muscle preservation in Singapore's ageing population.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSports Research (USA)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProtein per Serving\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 g whey protein isolate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBCAAs per Serving\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.9 g (leucine, isoleucine, valine)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAdded Leucine\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 g free-form L-leucine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAdded MCT Powder\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 g (from coconut)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAdded Vitamin D3\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 mcg (800 IU) per serving\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCalories per Serving\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~150 kcal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSugar per Serving\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026lt;1 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFlavours Available\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDutch Chocolate, Creamy Vanilla\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProcessing Method\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCold-process cross-flow microfiltration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eThird-Party Testing\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInformed Sport certified (banned substance tested)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCertifications\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-GMO; Gluten-free; cGMP manufactured (US FDA 21 CFR Part 111)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAllergens\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContains milk (whey), coconut (MCT).

Whey isolate undergoes further filtration to achieve ≥90% protein content with minimal lactose (\u0026lt;0.5%) and fat (\u0026lt;1 g\/serving), making it suitable for lactose-sensitive individuals and those requiring precise macro tracking.

Double servings (50 g) may be appropriate for athletes over 90 kg or in high-volume training blocks; total daily protein intake across all food sources should target 1.6–2.2 g\/kg body weight for muscle hypertrophy goals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this product be used for meal replacement or weight loss in Singapore patients?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWPI is not a complete meal replacement as it does not provide adequate carbohydrates, fats, or micronutrients for full nutritional replacement. However, it can be incorporated into a caloric deficit diet under supervision of a Singapore-registered dietitian (SRD) for weight management.
