The difference between micro- and macro-protein was highlighted many years ago in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition. At the same time, Dr. Priemer's research team began developing REBEL for HAPPINESS to remove the bitterness from micro-protein, which was still bitter in 2016. Now they've succeeded, and the patent has already been granted. Today, we can therefore offer you bitter-free MICRO-protein = SUPER-WPH, which is also lactose-free.

The body's so-called amino pool must maintain +/- 100g of amino acids every day, since just over an hour of peak exertion and amino acid demand must be bridged. – And because the amino pool wasn't designed to be higher. An evolutionary design of humans by Mother Nature.

Anyone exercising should refuel after just one hour. Those who exert themselves for more than two hours without refueling will experience muscle loss – as some marathon runners do. The quickest and easiest way to "refuel" is with a bio-fermented protein (WPH).

They say: lots of protein makes for lots of muscle. Since muscles are made up of around 20 percent protein, protein products provide exactly the right building blocks. "Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass," it's often said. But what exactly does this mean?

Protein makes muscles

The body needs milk or whey protein to build muscle. Protein utilization is crucial. Low-quality, raw protein powder can reach the large intestine at a rate of over 50%, where it releases toxic H2S gas. Fully fermented protein (WPH), on the other hand, is "captured" much faster, namely in the small intestine, and made available directly to the muscles.

Muscle building and targeted protein intake

In addition to overall protein intake, the right timing, including the right type and amount of protein, is crucial for targeted muscle building. Protein is needed for building, maintaining, and repairing muscles after exercise and during targeted strength training.

Proteins alone are not enough to build muscle

However, simply consuming protein isn't enough to build muscle. Without the appropriate stimulus—in the form of training—muscles won't begin to grow. This means that protein is essential for muscle building, but you'll only see results in combination with exercise.

Build muscle with protein: quality is important

Biological value is a kind of "evaluation scale" used to assess the quality of a protein. Biological value indicates how well the body can utilize protein ingested from food, i.e., convert it into the body's own protein. It is determined, among other things, by the quantity and type of protein building blocks in the food, the amino acids. Generally, animal protein sources are of higher quality than plant protein sources because they contain more essential amino acids.

However, combining animal and plant protein sources also increases protein quality. Combining rice with legumes such as beans, millet with chickpeas, or pea soup also results in high protein levels. Despite the superior quality of animal protein, it is therefore recommended not to neglect plant protein sources. A high proportion of plant-based foods ensures a balanced and healthy diet.

What protein requirement is sufficient and necessary?

Of the 20 amino acids, 8 are essential. The body can produce the rest itself. To obtain these eight in sufficient quantities, scientific literature indicates a protein requirement of 0.34 grams per kilogram of body weight per day.

The DGE nevertheless recommends 0.8 grams. This is because, depending on the protein's biological value, only a portion of the consumed protein is actually absorbed by the body's cells. Therefore, the higher value is not a guide to consuming a lot of protein, but rather a kind of buffer to ensure that the required amount of protein actually reaches the body.

To ensure that as much protein as possible actually reaches your muscle cells, we recommend the well-tolerated and fully fermented WPH from Dr. Priemer with a particularly high biological value.

If you're exposed to high levels of physical exertion, for example, during a muscle-building phase or after a marathon, you can temporarily increase your protein intake significantly to 2 g/kg of body weight. However, even athletes shouldn't exceed 1 g of protein per kilogram of body weight in the long term.

How do I best distribute the total amount of protein?

We recommend a balanced protein intake across breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This split stimulates muscle growth more effectively than consuming protein in a single meal. Consuming 20 grams of protein every three to five hours stimulates muscle growth more than consuming the same amount of protein in a few larger doses (40 grams every six hours). The easiest way to build muscle with protein is with SUPER WPH protein shakes , which you can prepare in a blender.
