It says that Kaizen’s World Finest Whey Protein comes from Raw Milk, is that safe to consume?
Not only is it safe, it’s far safer and healthier than the milk produced on conventional farms from cows that have been injected with hormones & antibiotics and fed saw dust, plastic pellets, sewage, rendered food and worse.
In many ways, raw milk is similar to breastmilk: both are completely natural, fresh, and unprocessed milks. They both contain a wide variety of essential nutrients, fats, proteins, anti-inflammatory and digestive enzymes, bioavailable vitamins, and minerals, all in a natural form which is most easily utilised by the body. In addition, raw milk facilitates production of lactase enzyme in the intestinal tract, allowing many people who are lactose intolerant to digest raw milk with no problems.
For more information you can listen to our very own Ryan Martin talking to the largest producer of Raw Milk in California Mark McAfee here.
You can also find out more information about the benefits of raw milk and more at the raw milk institute here.

THE BENEFITS

When should I start feeling a change or difference?

Can Kaizen World’s Finest Whey Protein help my body detoxify?
Put simply, yes. How does it do this? Well, I will explain …
Most all-chronic degenerative disease has at its roots toxicity. Resurrecting the body’s production of glutathione is a dynamic key to cellular and whole-body detoxification. Using an undamaged Whey Protein Powder such as Kaizen World’s Finest Whey, delivers high amounts of the two key peptides gamma-glutamyl-cysteine and cystine. Once these peptides are absorbed through the intestines and into your cells, they fuel glutathione production.
Glutathione then goes to work to eliminate mercury, heavy metals and virtually all toxins. Glutathione neutralises free radicals, thereby stopping cell damage and inflammation. This makes every other tissue of the body function more youthfully, which can help you to look and feel younger.
Glutathione also helps increase endurance for your mind and muscles. The optimal level of intracellular glutathione is 10%. But due to toxicity and ageing this is not happening. With undamaged whey protein powder, you supply your body with the highest dietary source of the building blocks for glutathione production and therefore detoxication materials.

What is the difference between Whey Protein Concentrate & Whey Protein Isolate?
Whey protein concentrate is 80% protein and 20% lactose, minerals and fats. It still contains the immunoglobulins, lactoferrin and glycomacropeptide, all valuable health giving proteins. With Whey protein isolate the whey is put through a high-speed filtration system that further denatures the whey and removes these valuable proteins. So whey protein isolate is the hardest to digest and puts a toxic burden on the body. It is inferior to whey protein concentrate. See our Unique page.
WEIGHT LOSS / MEAL REPLACEMENT
Is whey protein good for weight loss?
Yes, whey protein has been found to decrease cravings and increase satiety, helping you eat fewer calories overall.

This may be due to the ability of protein to slightly increase metabolism and help you feel full, so you effortlessly eat less while burning more calories.

Whey protein also makes a healthy, filling, and low calorie snack for times when you have the munchies to help you control cravings.
What about hunger?
If you get hungry within a couple of hours of taking a full serving of Kaizen World's Finest Whey, it is likely that: 1) you are an athlete or have a metabolic system that may benefit from supplementing with 1–2 of tablespoons of coconut oil, one or two bananas, one or two raw organic eggs (or eat eggs separately) or add both to Kaizen World's Finest Whey; or 2) your hunger pains may be due to thirst or because you have been conditioned to eat at certain times. Try drinking a large glass of fresh water when you feel hunger coming on, or try the options described in item 1 above.

DIGESTION QUESTIONS

Normal Whey Protein makes me bloated and gives me gut issues after I take it, will Kaizen World's Finest Whey do the same?
The reason people experience gas, wind, bloating or gut pain after taking conventional protein powders is because most are full of highly allergenic and inflammatory ingredients such as fillers, binders, sweeteners and flavouring, combined with the fact that the protein powder has been heat sterilised (pasteurised) which denatures the protein and amino acids which makes them toxic and extremely hard for the body to digest. Kaizen World's Finest Whey has no fillers, binders, sweeteners or flavours. It is never heated, treated, flavoured or coloured. It is a pure as can be. This means your body can recognise the protein powder and easily digest, assimilate, metabolise and eliminate it. To prove this we tested Kaizen World's Finest Whey on people who previously reported major gut issues after consuming protein powders, and all of them reported zero gut issues after taking Kaizen World's Finest Whey.
*Everybody is unique, and if you have severe gut issues you may need to do a gut healing protocol before taking Kaizen World's Finest Whey.
