To feel and perform at your best, day after day, you need to meet your protein needs. Doing so is easy with Hammer Nutrition's Whey Protein, which contains 100% whey protein isolate, the most bioavailable protein on the planet. Hammer Whey Protein is super pure—lactose-free, fat-free, and free of added sugars, and comes from grass-fed cows in the USA, with no hormones or antibiotics. Six grams of the multi-beneficial amino acid, L-glutamine, are added for additional health benefits.

PRO TIPS ¡
Take whey protein before bed!
Whey protein and its glutamine content provide enormous benefits when taken before bed! Mix 1 scoop or 1 single-serving packet of whey protein in 4-6 ounces of water (or more, if you prefer) immediately before bed. Drink, brush your teeth, and go to bed. Done! Now the body has an excellent supply of amino acids it needs to carry out many of the repair/building processes it performs while we sleep.
Specific peptides found only in whey protein isolate will also help reduce muscle soreness, in addition to boosting immune system function. Lastly, the glutamine in the product will help the body produce and release maximum (not excessive, maximum) amounts of human growth hormone (hGH), which the body will use for a variety of important functions.

INGREDIENTS
Whey Protein Isolate – The most bioavailable protein source, it contains the highest percentage of the nine essential amino acids (EAAs) —those the body does not produce and must obtain from dietary sources. Whey is also rich in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), which are necessary for tissue repair and immune system support. Our grass-fed whey isolate contains approximately 90% protein and is 99% lactose-free.
L-Glutamine – The most abundant amino acid in muscles, L-glutamine is essential for a multitude of recovery processes but is rapidly depleted during intense exercise. Its role in glycogen synthesis (carbohydrate storage) and in the repair and rebuilding of muscle tissue is among its many important functions. It also contributes to the release of growth hormone and is a key component for gut and immune system health. Low levels of L-glutamine have been shown to correlate with overtraining syndrome.
Stevia – A natural, calorie-free sweetener derived from the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana, a plant native to Central and South America. It does not affect blood sugar levels or contribute to tooth decay as sugar does. (Unflavored whey does not contain stevia).
