ATTENTION: Whey Protein Isolate Cold-Filtration has a new look! The manufacturer of our top-selling whey protein isolate has improved their processing methods to produce a one-step agglomeration method in place of the two-step process from before. The result is a fluffier powder consistency that looks closer to our Whey Protein Isolate CFM than the granular appearance it has had in the past. The Whey Protein Isolate Cold-Filtration will still retain the same great taste with no alterations to the nutritional profile, and what's best: the material mixes better than ever! Try the new Whey Protein Isolate Cold-Filtration today and experience the improvements for yourself!

True Nutrition's Whey Protein Isolate Cold-Filtration is derived from whey protein concentrate, but ultimately from sweet dairy whey.  Isolates, Cold-Filtration, Microfiltration and Ion-Exchange, are protein powders that are the next steps to further process whey protein concentrate.  The Cold-Filtration process is a procedure of separating the proteins through the use of micro filtering the mass all while using a cold or “chilled” process (environment).  These filters allow the protein to be removed from the unwanted fat, lactose and the like.  Cold-Filtration Isolate is virtually fat free and lactose (sugar) free. 

So what is the difference between Cold-Filtration and Microfiltration?  They both use the same extraction process of filtering, but the Cold-Filtration is just that, the liquid mass is chilled and then filtered.  As well the mass is then sprayed dried in a non heat environment to preserve the undenatured proteins.

Using the Cold-Filtration method, the overall protein is said to only be 0-3% denatured, in comparison to other proteins that can be denatured up to 15%.  Whey Protein Isolate Cold-Filtration is very high in bioactive whey protein fractions, including immunoglobulin, lactoferrin and glycomacropeptides.

Whey Protein Isolate Cold-Filtration is a great whey protein for users who experience bloating and other problems associated with whey protein concentrate.  As well, for users who want a higher protein percentage per serving, an Isolate is a great choice. 

Whey Protein Isolate Cold-Filtration possesses an extremely clean taste.  This product alone is opaque in nature (almost clear) and does not have any distinct flavor.  Great for the individual that dislikes the taste of “protein powders.

Directions

As a dietary supplement, mix 1-2 servings of material in approximately 12-16 floz of your favorite beverage. Stir, and enjoy!

Creatine (CR) is a naturally occurring substance, produced in our bodies in the liver from the amino acids L-Arginine, L-Glycine and L-Methionine(1). Daily turnover of creatine occurs at a rate of ~2g/day via non-enzymatic, irreversible degradation of creatine and creatine phosphate to creatinine(2). Creatinine freely diffuses out of the cell and is easily filtered by the healthy kidney(3). This loss is normally replaced by endogenous CR synthesis, as well as exogenous (dietary) sources of creatine such as meat(4). However, vegetarians typically have lower levels of creatine in serum and muscle(5), and experience a greater elevation in muscle CR following dietary supplementation(6).

Due in part to its relatively large mass, over 95% of the body’s store of creatine is found in skeletal muscle (~120g in a 70kg male(1)), where it participates in energetic processes to restore ATP and shuttle high energy phosphate in the form of CR phosphate from the mitochondria to the myofibrillar cross-bridges to generate muscular contractile force(7).

Because CR is a charged molecule(2) it must normally be transported across cell membranes by a CR transport protein, including that of the gut (for oral absorption) and skeletal muscle (for uptake into the cell)(8-11). Following a period of CR loading, all of a 5g daily dose of CR monohydrate is recoverable in the urine as CR or its degradative by-product creatinine(12), suggesting that in most individuals, absorption of creatine monohydrate is complete, at least at these doses.

However, anecdotal reports of gastric distress(13) suggest that some individuals may have difficulty absorbing CR in the amounts provided by a CR supplement. To aid in trans-membrane movement, ethyl esterification (akin to the acetylation of salicylic acid to make aspirin, a.k.a. acetylsalycylic acid) of drugs or other substances is commonly employed to bypass normal means of uptake, enhance bioavailability and reduce side effects(14). Although scientific investigation of the pharmacokinetics CR ethyl ester (CEE) is lacking, anecdotal reports of increased body mass without gastric discomfort are consistent with the abrupt weight gain noted in numerous research studies of CR monohydrate supplementation(15-22), suggesting the CEE does indeed make its way to skeletal muscle.

The ergogenic and anabolic effects of CR have been under investigation for m ore than a decade, with widely inconsistent results(23). However, taken as a whole the large body of literature suggests that supplemental CR can have ergogenic effects, especially during brief duration, high intensity exercise (such as resistance exercise) and in individuals who have low muscle CR levels, such as vegetarians, and those with abnormalities of CR metabolism(21, 24, 25). Creatine may also have an anti-inflammatory action(26, 27), aid in nerve re-generation(28) have an anabolic or anti-catabolic effect on skeletal muscle(29-32), although the literature is not consistent in this regard(33, 34), and/or prevent performance decrements during periods of high intensity training(35).

By aiding in muscular performance (training stimulus), affecting recovery via altering muscle protein metabolism or nerve function, CR would hypothetically enhance adaptation to exercise training, including the muscular growth adaptation to resistance training. The degree to which this occurs is likely dependent upon the degree to which supplemental CR increases muscle CR as well as body mass during the initial period of CR supplementation(36, 37).

Supplement Use

Individuals should consult with their physician before beginning CEE supplementation, especially those with pre-existing renal disease.

Adverse medical side effects of short and long-term CR supplementation are generally absent in the scientific literature(13, 23, 38-42), although individual cases of those experiencing reversable renal dysfunction in association with CR supplementation have been reported(43).

CR can be taken in doses of 2-5g / day to elevate or maintain elevated muscle creatine levels(12, 44, 45). Consuming CR as CEE may even lower the amount of CR needed for this effect.

CR supplementation improves blood lipid profile by elevating HDL concentration and reducing total cholesterol, LDL, and blood triglyceride levels(46, 47). CEE could be taken with with Alpha Lipoic Acid to enhance its uptake(48), as well as with carbohydrate to enhance glycogen synthesis(49). Taking CEE, along with Vitamin C, may reduce muscle soreness or inflammation(26, 27). CEE could also be used in a post-workout, weight gainer or carb-up drink along Alpha Lipoic Acid, arginine (to optimize nutrient delivery), waxy maize and/or other carbohydrate source, and a high quality protein or protein blend.
