Grenade Hydra 6 Protein Powder (1816g)

KEY BENEFITS
Hydra 6® has been formulated with the ultimate form of Whey protein - Whey Protein Isolate - and the ultimate form of Casein - Ultrafiltered Micellar Casein - in the perfect “50/50” ratio, which research suggests to be superior to taking either whey protein or casein on their own*.

Hydra 6® offers the versatility and convenience of not having to buy two separate proteins for different times of the day and is designed to feed your muscles with the highest quality protein available. Hard training individuals need “fast acting” Whey Protein Isolate in the morning and Pre/Post-Workout and “slow release” Casein Protein before bedtime and at other times when Protein won’t be consumed for several hours.

RESEARCH
When it comes to Whey Protein, it’s simple, science tells us very clearly that the higher the peak in our blood essential amino acid levels, the greater the signal to the muscles to start the process of Protein synthesis (muscle building) [1]*. And no protein can crank up essential amino acid levels to a higher peak than whey protein isolate [2]*. But whey protein may not be enough on its own.

Several studies suggest that Whey stops delivering amino acids after about 3 1/2 hours, whereas the other major milk protein, casein, not only delivers its amino acids for twice as long but has been shown to be superior for ensuring that muscle growth activity exceeds muscular breakdown [2]*. So casein’s ability to act like a “drip-feed” and constantly deliver amino acids to the blood over at least seven hours has been shown over and over again to be anti-catabolic (so it prevents muscle breakdown in addition to causing growth)*. Clearly, casein has advantages that whey protein alone cannot match [2]. Other studies also suggest that combination proteins which included whey and casein have a more potent muscle-building effect in the four hours after a weight-training session as compared to whey protein alone [3]*.
Having established that a perfect 50/50 combination of Whey Protein and Casein is ideal for muscle growth, the Grenade® research team had one more major goal - combine the ultimate source of Whey Protein with the ultimate source of Casein... the result is Hydra 6®, one of the highest-quality Protein combinations ever seen in the world of sports supplementation.*

Each serving of Hydra 6® contains between 12 - 12.5 grams of Protein from premium Whey Protein Isolate (with no inferior concentrates) and 12 - 12.5 grams of protein from low-heat, ultrafiltered, native Micellar Casein (no inferior caseinates) for a total of 24 - 25 grams of Protein per serving AND you can take it before training, after training, before bed or ANY other time you want quality protein - no more messing around having to buy two separate proteins, which are of inferior quality and actually need to be mixed to realise their full potential anyhow!
