Are you using the right protein shake? Well in this article we will look at all the brands on the market today and compare them to find out. Protein shakes, powders, and supplements are incredibly popular with the health conscious and fitness crowds. We need to consider what the typical protein shake promises. They promise to gain lean muscle, promote weight loss and get a quick, easy, healthy meal replacement. Unfortunately, the food industry is making an huge profit selling ones that are filled with highly processed denatured proteins, chemicals, preservatives and other additives. But we need to understand what exactly is in your protein shake that you consume and if you are getting what it says you are.

First we will look at some protein supplements that have ingredients to avoid. They all have been tested and proven to carry these specific ingredients from the Consumers Reports. Muscle Milk is genetically modified which means it has been altered by using genetic engineering techniques that are not natural but artifiically made. Muscle Milk has whey protein isolate, maltodextrin, refined sugar, antibiotics, artificial colors, and has heavy metals in it. The whey protein isolate is whey that has been filtered which leaves out important nutrients. Maltodextrin is a food additive that is used in processed foods. Another popular one is Body by Vi and it is made up of soy protein isolate, maltodextrin, refined sugar, and carries antibiotics in it. Soy protein isolate is chemically engineered which leaves behind toxic substances, like aluminum and hexane. Then there is Pure Protein which also has been genetically modified and has whey protein isolate, antibiotics, and artificial colors. Next is Herbalife which is another one that is also genentically modified, use soy protein, and has refined sugar. A common shake on the market is Slim Fast, it is also genetically modified, has maltodextrin, refined sugar, heavy metals, antibiotics, and artificial colors. Last one is Shakeology, which has refined sugar, and uses whey protein isolate.

Well you can see now all the different brands that have ingredients that you should avoid. I have only found one on the market that has all natural ingredients and is considered organically made. The ones I found are the Isagenix Isalean shakes. They use undenatured whey protein which means it has been extracted by a cold-membrane filtration process. This keeps all the prebiotics and probiotics intact and keeping the whey protein all natural. Their ingredients is all natural with active enzymes to aid in digestion. And it has no artificial colors, flavors, or perservatives in it. When it come to your health and getting the right protein shake, you should get the best in quality.
