Thriv Advanced Daily Protein | All Natural Gluten Free | Designed to Mimic Mothers Milk | 16.2 oz (60% Whey / 40% Casein)



Product description

THRIV PROTEIN

Thriv Protein Blend provides a commodity protein supplement to meet the category needs of individuals looking for a price-driven protein supplement that still delivers a high quality blend of whey, casein and milk protein. Produced from Grass Pasture Fed Cows free of GMO, bovine growth hormone, antibiotics, and anabolics. Thrive Protein Blend is low-heat pasteurized to maintain the integrity and bioavailability of the protein peptides.

Designed to Imitate Human Milk

With its precisely tuned level of supplemental first day colostrum, Thriv is thus way more than a simple muscle builder. With the far‐reaching effects colostrum can have on your anti‐oxidant and antimicrobial defenses as well as its modulatory effect on your immune system – a property that distinguishes Thriv from all the other whey + casein mixes on the market. This is why the human body uses Colostrum from day 1 in human milk to grow and develop!

Whey and Casein Blend

State of the art research shows that the dairy proteins whey and casein are the best natural source of essential amino acids and bioactive peptides. Thriv is made with low heat pasteurized whey protein isolate, and milk protein concentrate to allow Thrīv to offer the perfect synergy of fast and slow digesting dairy proteins.

All Natural and Wholesome!

With its unique natural sweetener blend that’s based on glycine, monk fruit, stevia, and erythritol Thrīv has a natural sweetness that won't leave you questioning whether the delicious supplement you've just consumed may have detrimental effects on your health. Add in real vanilla, cream extract, and salt (sodium chloride) Thriv tastes like your grandma's self-made vanilla milk-shake and unlike any of the vanillin-flavored synthetic products on the market!

JYM Supplement Science, PRO JYM, An optimal Blend of 50% casein, 40% whey and 10% egg protein



From the manufacturer:


BLENDS ARE BEST: Scientific studies have shown that a blend of whey, casein and egg proteins (the three types contained in Pro JYM) is considerably better for maximizing muscle-building than whey protein alone. With “100% whey” powders, you’re getting shortchanged.


Supported Goals: Muscle Growth, Strength

What it is: The perfect blend of the three most effective types of proteins for building muscle: whey, micellar casein and egg protein. The three types are absorbed in the body at varying rates of speed – whey extremely fast, casein very slowly, and egg at a “medium” pace. This is exactly how you want your protein to act both before and after workouts to ensure that the muscles get an immediate supply of amino acids (the building blocks of protein) as well as a steady trickle of them in the hours following.


 Research now shows that when you add medium-digesting and slow-digesting proteins to fast-digesting whey, muscle protein synthesis remains elevated for longer than when using whey alone. And muscle protein retention is higher, as well. That means that more protein is being built in the muscle. That is what leads to long-term gains in muscle growth and strength.
 


What sets it apart: Aside from being a protein blend in a crowded market of sometimes underperforming 100% whey protein powders, Pro JYM is a non- proprietary blend.
A proprietary blend is any supplement that doesn't list the precise dose of every single active ingredient it contains.


 This isn’t just only prevalent with pre-workouts and fat-burners – a vast majority of protein powders on the market are proprietary blends because they don’t tell you the exact amounts of the proteins in the formula. Pro JYM, on the other hand, lists the exact amounts on the front of the container of all three types of proteins in their four distinct forms: whey protein isolate (7.5 grams), micellar casein (7 grams), egg albumen (2.5 grams) and milk protein isolate (7 grams – 5.5 grams casein, 1.5 grams whey).


 Nitrogen spiking (aka “amino spiking” or “protein spiking”) is an unscrupulous technique where some supplement companies put in less protein than what’s listed on the label as a means of slashing costs and increasing their protein margins – at the user’s expense. Getting a “spiked” protein means paying for, say, 24 grams of protein but getting only 18 grams of actual whole proteins. With Pro JYM, you get all 24 grams, guaranteed. Pro JYM has and never will be spiked with cheap fillers.

Grenade Hydra 6, 50% Whey Isolate and 50% Casein. The World's First Ultra Premium Slow/Fast Protein Blend







Hydra 6 has been formulated with you in mind, by combining Whey Protein Isolate and 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 with "slow release" casein protein before bedtime and at other times when protein needs to be absorbed over several hours.

Supplement Stack: Boost Your Appetite and Increase Your Protein Intake to Increase Your Muscle Mass

Casein protein powder     20-40 g
Fat-free milk                     2-3 cups
Echinacea                         800-1,200 mg 

Stack it like this: Go with 20-40 grams of casein protein powder for between-meal snacks and take 800-1,200 milligrams of echinacea immediately before meals and snacks, for a total of up to 8 g per day. — Jim Stoppani, PhD

Super Protein Stack

I don’t think there’s any research on combining these ingredients beyond a whey and casein blend, but we’re bodybuilders which means we experiment outside of the box.

Casein            10 – 25 grams
Whey              10 – 25 grams
BCAA 2:1:1    5 – 15 grams
Glutamine     5 grams


You could always add in 1 – 3 grams of HMB if you have the cash.





The protein content in Quest is about 52 percent whey and 48 percent casein.



The protein content in Muscle Milk is about 20 percent whey and 80 percent casein.




The protein content in Pro-JYM is about 10 percent egg, 40 percent whey and 50 percent casein.

Reference from Suppversity:


Whey + Casein - A Superior Post-Workout Shake in Theory (Fast + Slow) and Practice (Results of a 10-Week Study)



Table 2: As you can see, the supplements were isocaloric. Differences in the energy intake from the supplement, which had be consumed as quickly as possible, but ideally within 2 hours, following the workouts on training days and in the morning ( 9:00 AM) of nontraining days, can thus not explain the different study outcomes (Kerksick. 2006)

Excerpt from SuppVersity: Whey + Casein - A Superior Post-Workout Shake...

SuppVersity - Nutrition and Exercise Science for Everyone: Whey + Casein - A Superior Post-Workout Shake in T...: Casein & whey - Many companies sell both. For a good reason! It appears to be logical. By combining whey and casein in your post-workout...

What this study shows, is not that training in a higher rep range of 10 reps per set is more anabolic than training in the 6-8 range. What the study at hand shows is that the combination of plain whey and casein proteins is vastly superior to the funky "BCAA-powered" and "glutamine enhanced" protein powders you will see in the stores and in shiny advertisments.


And let's be honest, in view of the way the fast and slow digesting proteins facilitate long-lasting elevations of amino acids in the blood (=hyperaminoacidemia), the results of this study are not exactly surprising.







The protein content in Quest is about 52 percent whey and 48 percent casein.




The protein content in Muscle Milk is about 20 percent whey and 80 percent casein.

 


The protein content in Pro-JYM is about 10 percent egg, 40 percent whey and 50 percent casein.
