Sportspeople across a wide range of disciplines—from rugby players to endurance athletes through to bodybuilders—want to build lean muscle and increase their strength. While a good diet plan of protein, complex carbohydrates, healthy fats and vegetables will keep the body in peak condition, it will not necessarily build muscle in the amount these athletes require.

“Training actually breaks muscle tissue down, which creates a situation where the muscles can absorb more nutrients for growth,” says Kerry Kayes, founder of CNP Professional and former champion bodybuilder. “It is at this point that those wanting to build muscle tissue need to consume extra protein.”

CNP Professional’s Whey Protein supplement contains the full range of amino acids and is high in branch chain amino acids, which supply energy during exercise and support muscle growth. Whey Protein can be used at any time in the day but for optimal results, CNP advises it should be consumed every two to three hours to ensure the muscles are supplied with a steady supply of amino acids to maintain a positive nitrogen balance. Placing the body in a constant positive nitrogen balance provides an anti-catabolic/anabolic environment that encourages muscle growth.

CNP’s Whey Protein is easy to prepare. Simply mix one scoop in 200ml of water in a shaker bottle. Each 25g serving provides 20g of protein. Whey Protein is now available in five flavors—strawberry, vanilla and chocolate, and the two new varieties, choc mint and banana.
