XL Whey contains a blend of whey protein isolates and concentrates with one of the highest protein % per 100g on the market. Our product also contains the prebiotic Fructooligosaccharide (FOS), FOS acts as a fuel source for intestinal bacteria to provide an optimal environment for growth. FOS have also been shown to increase calcium and magnesium absorption in the gut [1, 2]. Whey proteins have also been shown to have antioxidant effects [3] aswell as anti cancer properties [4].

A high protein diet serves as the building blocks to growth and repair and our Whey serves as a high quality, convenient and great tasting method to ensure optimal protein intake through the day.
