What is Keto Whey Used For?

Whey protein isn’t just for bodybuilders and athletes looking to pack on muscle and improve performance.

While whey can help with muscle growth and maintenance, that’s only the beginning.

#1: Get Adequate Protein

Finding it tough to get enough protein?

Whey protein powder offers a convenient and delicious way to add more protein into your day. And since Perfect Keto Whey is packed with keto-friendly fats and sugar-free natural sweetener, you won’t risk getting kicked out of ketosis.

#2: Perfect For On-The-Go

Whey protein is also perfect for those times when you’re on-the-go and need a nutritious and filling meal replacement that’s not loaded with carbs and unnecessary sugars or additives.

#3: Use It As a Meal Replacement

You can enjoy whey protein in between meals to keep hunger at bay or before and after a workout to improve your performance and muscle recovery.

Since it’s easy to transport, you can take it with you while you’re out and about or you can enjoy it at home.

What is Whey Protein Made From?

Whey comes from milk — primarily from cow’s milk, but sometimes from sheep or goats. And milk contains two primary proteins: casein (about 80% of milk) and whey (about 20%)[*].

When you separate dairy solids from the liquid, you get whey (the liquid) and casein (the solid).

Depending on the method of extraction and filtration, you then get one of three products:

  • Whey protein concentrate, which is higher in lactose — the sugar in dairy that causes people the most trouble, and contains some carbs and fat
  • Whey protein isolate contains more protein but has less fat and carbs. However, whey protein isolate contains zero or close to zero lactose. So even if you’re sensitive to dairy, you may not experience the same reaction by going with a whey protein isolate
  • Whey protein hydrolysate, on the other hand, is predigested so your body absorbs it faster.  However, this initial rush could lead to a bigger spike in your insulin levels, which is why it’s not suggested on a keto diet

Whey Protein vs. Other Protein Sources

Why choose whey?

Whey is one of the best-studied protein supplements on the market. Here are just a few ways that whey protein goes above and beyond.

#1: Whey Contains All 9 Essential Amino Acids

Whey protein is a complete protein source since it contains all 9 essential amino acids.

These proteins also have antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties that may help reduce inflammation and improve immune function[*].

#2: Whey is Highly Bioavailable

Whey protein is one of the fastest-digesting and bioavailable proteins. One study showed a significant rise in amino acid availability in the blood within just an hour of consumption[*].

This quick burst of nutrients is helpful during times when your body needs the protein boost, such as before or after a workout.

#3: Whey May Keep You Feeling Fuller Longer

Whey protein triggers satiety signals in the brain which can help you feel full instead of ravenous for more food[*].

With an increase in fullness and satiety, you’ll be able to lower your calories without feeling deprived.

#4: Whey Can Help You Maintain Muscle and Lose Fat

Whey protein can also help preserve muscle mass while you lose body fat [*].

Whey protein is also loaded with branched-chain amino acids, or BCAAs, which are a special group of muscle-building amino acids.

Leucine, one of the primary BCAAs found in whey protein, helps stimulate muscle protein synthesis (MPS), which is the process of creating muscle proteins to help repair and grow your muscles.

Since whey protein stimulates muscle protein synthesis, it can keep your muscle mass in tact while going after stubborn stored fat instead[*].

Studies have also shown that, when used with weight training, whey may also help you see strength gains[*].

#5: Whey May Boost Immune Function

Research also shows that whey protein may contribute to better glutathione levels, which can improve immune function [*].

#6: Whey May Help Create Lean Muscle Mass

Whey protein may help you create lean muscle mass. And lean body mass can help you lose body fat since it’s metabolically active and requires your body to burn calories to keep it fueled [*].

Hitting your protein targets each day and engaging in resistance training are two of the most effective ways to build lean muscle mass [*].

And, as compared to getting protein from a soy-based option, for example, study participants who consumed whey protein developed more lean muscle mass than those consuming a soy protein [*].

Whey has been studied for everything from muscle gains and recovery to immune function. But that doesn’t mean that all whey protein powders are created equal.

What Makes Perfect Keto Whey Protein Different?

It all comes down to a few very important details.

#1: Grass-Fed Whey Protein

Grass-fed cows are pasture-raised eating what they’re built to eat — grass — as opposed to soy or corn.

Milk and meat from grass-fed cows are more nutrient-dense than grain-fed cows.

And whey from grass-fed cows contains more concentrated levels of immune-boosting compounds such as beta-lactoglobulin, lactoferrin, and lysozyme[*][*].

Grass-fed dairy also comes with more omega-3 fats and conjugated linoleic acid or CLA.

Omega-3 fats are essential when it comes to reducing inflammation and keeping your omega-6 to omega-3 ratio balanced.

CLA is a fatty acid is commonly found in grass-fed meat and dairy that may help with metabolic function.

Using a high-quality protein source is only half the battle when it comes to this important macronutrient.

#2: It’s Also Processed Differently

Perfect Keto Whey Protein goes through a cold microfiltration and ultrafiltration membrane technology to remove traces of casein and lactose.

Many companies stop at just one filtration step, but Perfect Keto Whey Protein goes through an extra step to ensure the end result is as purified as possible.

The cold microfiltration also keeps the protein intact whereas using heat in the filtration process can degrade the whey.

Lastly, the membrane technology in the ultrafiltration uses water instead of chemicals to filter out the protein from any other substances, which also helps produce a high-quality protein source.

#3: You’ll Find 5g of MCT Oil Powder in Each Scoop

Unlike other whey proteins on the market, Perfect Keto Whey Protein has 5g of MCT oil powder (roughly 3.5-4g of MCTs), making it one of the few that contain keto-friendly fats.

MCTs, or medium chain triglycerides, are shorter fat chains that are more rapidly absorbed and utilized in your body for energy.

#4: Zero Artificial Ingredients or Sweeteners

All Perfect Keto products are free from chemicals, fillers, and artificial flavors — including blood-sugar altering sweeteners.

So you know there’s no sneaky additives lurking behind the label.

Instead of using artificial flavors and sweeteners, Perfect Keto Whey Protein has:

  • Cocoa powder from real cacao beans, which are packed with polyphenols and antioxidants than can support overall health, brain function, blood circulation, and heart health
  • Sea salt, which is a crucial electrolyte mineral you’ll need even more of when you’re on a keto diet
  • Stevia leaf extract, which is a natural sugar replacement that does not lead to a spike in blood glucose levels or insulin, unlike regular and cane sugar
  • Gum acacia, which is a non-digestible fiber that’s easier on digestion than other emulsifying agents found in whey protein powders on the market

#5: High-Quality Amino Acids

But there’s one thing Perfect Keto Whey Protein doesn’t have: cheap amino acids.

Many protein companies add cheaply-sourced amino acids to bulk up the protein content in their products without increasing costs.

The problem is that this sneaky practice means you’re getting less of the complete protein than you thought you were getting per serving.

Since most companies aren’t going to advertise this on their label, it’s up to you to find a whey protein that doesn’t practice this technique.

Fortunately, you don’t have to go too far since Perfect Keto Whey Protein doesn’t take part in this shady business.

How to Use Whey Protein

Whey Protein is best enjoyed anytime you need a filling dose of protein, like before or after a workout, in between meals, or as a replacement meal on-the-go.

Consuming any whey protein can help stimulate muscle protein synthesis (or MPS) to maintain muscle while losing weight, which is why it’s been used for decades by athletes and bodybuilders.

Each scoop of Perfect Keto Whey Protein contains 15g of protein which means you can customize it — by doubling up or keeping it as a single serving — to suit your lifestyle needs.

You can also enjoy it anywhere from 1-2 times per day.

Who Should Use Whey Protein?

As mentioned earlier, you don’t need to be an athlete or bodybuilder to benefit from whey protein. Although, anyone who works out at any level has a higher protein demand.

If you’re struggling to consume enough protein on keto or you happen to live a busier lifestyle, whey protein can help.

Whey protein is also helpful if you’re trying to add more MCTs for energy and to pack in more keto-friendly fats.

In just one easy-to-transport scoop of whey protein, you’ll get about 5g of MCT oil powder, which is about 3.5-4g of MCTs.

How Does Whey Protein Affect Ketosis and Blood Sugars?

Perfect Keto Whey Protein is 100% safe to consume on keto and will not kick you out of ketosis.

That’s because each scoop contains:

  • 15 g of protein
  • 4g of fat
  • 3g of net carbs
  • 110 calories

Plenty of clean protein and healthy fats won’t just keep you in ketosis — it keeps you feeling full and satisfied for hours.

Is Whey Protein Safe?

Perfect Keto Whey Protein contains trace amounts of lactose — a milk sugar that many people are sensitive to.

However, people with severe lactose intolerance may not do well on any whey isolate protein powder.

For most people, on the other hand, whey protein likely won’t cause any sensitivities since it doesn’t contain casein — another common trigger in a dairy allergy and intolerance.

Keep in mind, too much MCT oil or powder at once can cause gut disturbances. So, keep in mind how much Perfect Keto Whey Protein you’re taking alongside other products with MCTs.

The next section can help you optimize this balance perfectly.
