December 23, 2024

If you had to name the top three fitness/physique goals for most of us, it’d probably be losing body fat, gaining strength and increasing your metabolism. What if I told you that you could get all three benefits from one supplement? In addition to a healthy, reduced-calorie diet and a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, of course.

Welcome to Ancient Nutrition’s Whey Protein + Fat Loss†* Blend, a vanilla cinnamon flavored protein powder. Formulated with 23 grams of grass-fed whey protein, organic regenerative A2/A2 milk protein, and a clinically studied superfood Fat Loss†* Blend, this supplement is designed to help you look and feel your best.

We’re not just talking about less body fat†*, more strength†* and increasing your metabolism†*, but also recovering more quickly†, feeling less stressed, more energized† and on top of your cravings. It’s the perfect add-on to your diet and exercise routine.

If you face challenges like declining muscle tone, increasing weight, slowing metabolism and fluctuating energy levels, Whey Protein + Fat Loss†* Blend is the new supplement to consider using. It will also help you hit your protein goals and is even easy on the gut.

For example, if you are a busy woman or man looking to lose fat†* and gain strength†*, this is the perfect solution to help reach your goals.

See below why this supplement is so unique, its benefits, how to use and answers to some frequently asked questions.

As always, you should consult your healthcare professional prior to beginning any new dietary or lifestyle regimen.

What is unique about Ancient Nutrition’s new whey protein formula?

With Whey Protein + Fat Loss†* Blend, you get 23 grams of high-quality protein and a powerful superfood blend with clinically studied ingredients, designed to help you lose fat†*, build lean muscle and more.

Most whey protein formulas are exclusively whey, and often they’re a whey isolate, which is a highly processed form of whey. Ancient Nutrition uses less processed whey — a combination of grass-fed whey protein concentrate and regenerative A2/A2 milk protein — and adds some critical superfoods for extra benefits.

Milk protein, sourced from healthy cows on regeneratively farmed soil, is a nutrient-filled superfood that provides amino acids, energy from lactose and protein. Meanwhile, whey protein is highly effective for muscle maintenance, strength building and recovery. (See our article on whey protein benefits.)

Ancient Nutrition’s Whey Protein + Fat Loss†* Blend also features a clinically studied Fat Loss†* Blend of ashwagandha and cinnamon. This unique combination simultaneously promotes fat loss†*, burns calories†* and increases your metabolism†*, making it an ideal choice for those aiming to achieve and maintain a lean body composition†*. Ashwagandha is a powerful herb that also provides benefits like reducing fatigue†, boosting energy† and promoting a positive response to stress†.

Its sweet, delicious vanilla cinnamon flavor is also easy to add into your routine.

Benefits

1. Healthy weight management support (including body fat loss†* and getting leaner†*)

As one gets older, it’s easy to put on more weight as the metabolism slows down, energy levels decline and strength decreases.

The superfood formula behind Whey Protein + Fat Loss†* Blend aims to change all that and supports a healthy, lean body composition†*, reduces body fat percentage†*, and even helps burn calories and boost metabolism†*. This is not your normal protein powder. It’s designed for women and men who want to achieve their goals in a healthy, sustainable way.

It’s packed with clean, grass-fed protein and powerful superfoods designed to increase your metabolism†* and reduce body fat percentage†*. This combination of grass-fed whey, regenerative A2/A2 milk protein, and a superfood Fat Loss†* Blend is specifically designed to bring you well-rounded weight management support†*.

While it still offers the high-quality protein necessary to build strength†*, this blend includes a fat loss†* superfood blend of clinically studied organic ashwagandha and organic Ceylon cinnamon. These ingredients work together to boost metabolism†*, support a healthy appetite† and help reduce body fat percentage†*. I

2. Builds lean muscle

According to the Office on Women’s Health, the body naturally begins to lose 3 to 5 percent of muscle mass per decade, starting as early as age 30. The rate of muscle loss can accelerate around age 60, unless the individual addresses it with strengthening exercises and nutrition. This is all normal.

But besides just helping us look fit, muscles serve many vital functions. More muscle tissue means your body burns more calories at rest. Stronger muscles help improve your balance, which can help you navigate everyday life and also aid your sport performance. Strength training can even make your bones stronger.

Using a protein supplement like Whey Protein + Fat Loss†* Blend can help you build muscle. Whey protein is highly effective for strength building† as well as muscle maintenance†*.

In fact, numerous studies indicate that whey protein can promote gains in lean muscle mass, especially when paired with strength training. Whey also stimulates more muscle synthesis than casein or soy protein products.

Impressively, studies also show that whey protein can help individuals maintain muscle mass even when under calorie restriction plus promote healthy, strong muscles as one ages.

3. Easy on the gut

Traditional whey protein can be hard to digest. Whey Protein + Fat Loss†* Blend uses organic regenerative A2/A2 milk protein sourced from cows bred to eliminate A1 protein, making it easier to digest and packed with essential nutrients.

A2/A2 milk protein is often easier to digest because it contains only the A2 type of beta-casein protein, which is more similar to the protein found in human milk. Most commercially available cow's milk contains a mixture of A1 and A2 beta-casein proteins. The A1 protein can break down in the digestive system to produce a peptide called BCM-7, which has been linked to digestive discomfort in some people.

A2 protein, on the other hand, does not produce BCM-7, making it gentler on the gut and less likely to cause occasional bloating or gas. As a result, many people who experience discomfort with regular milk find that A2 milk is much easier to tolerate.

4. Hit your protein goals

Did you know many women and men don’t get enough protein through diet alone? Protein is key to staying full between meals, maintaining muscle, boosting your metabolism and losing fat.

For example, let’s say you’re working towards maintaining a healthy weight, and you’re looking for the right fat-burning foods. In this case, it can be a good idea to focus on having a substantial amount of protein, as protein has been shown to be satiating and to help with appetite control.

In general, having about 0.75 grams of protein a day per pound of body weight can help to replace some of the extra carbohydrates and sugar in your diet, by contributing to you feeling fuller overall. For a 160-pound person, that’s 120 grams of protein per day. The 23 grams of protein in each scoop of Whey Protein + Fat Loss†* Blend can help you get there.

5. Less processed, higher nutrient whey protein

Most whey protein formulas are whey isolate, a highly processed form of whey. The proteins are often denatured due to manufacturing, which can make isolate hard to digest and even less effective.

Whey Protein + Fat Loss†* Blend uses a combination of grass-fed whey protein concentrate and regenerative A2/A2 milk protein. Whey protein concentrate is a less processed option that retains more of the natural compounds found in whey, such as beneficial fats, lactose and minerals. With low levels of fat and bioactive compounds in the form of lactose, it’s also a more satisfying tasting whey protein.

6. Features higher amounts of most amino acids than some leading whey protein supplement competitors

While nearly 500 amino acids have been identified in nature, only 20 amino acids make up the proteins found in the human body. Nine are called essential amino acids and are vital for muscle growth, repair and energy production.

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are a subset of essential amino acids and there are only three: leucine, isoleucine and valine. These are essential nutrients that the body gets from proteins found in food. BCAAs promote muscle health, enhance exercise performance, and support muscle strength and resilience. Your body can’t produce BCAAs so it’s important to obtain them through foods or supplements.

Whey Protein + Fat Loss†* Blend is a complete protein — meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids — and also includes nine non-essential amino acids, too. Moreover, it features higher amounts of most amino acids (16 of the 18) than some leading competitors.

Essential amino acids:

• Histidine 527 mg*

• Isoleucine^ 1866 mg*

• Leucine^ 3035 mg*

• Lysine* 2742 mg*

• Methionine* 615 mg*

• Phenylalanine* 938 mg

• Threonine* 2039 mg*

• Tryptophan 524 mg

• Valine^ 1636 mg*

Non-essential amino acids:

• Alanine 1340 mg*

• Arginine 732 mg*

• Aspartic Acid 3118 mg*

• Cysteine 698 mg*

• Glutamic Acid 5031 mg

• Glycine 468 mg*

• Proline 1676 mg*

• Serine 1374 mg*

• Tyrosine 879 mg*

*More than some leading whey protein supplement competitors

7. Increases your DHEA-S levels

DHEA-S (short for dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate) is a hormone made by your body that plays an important role in overall health. It’s often referred to as the “parent hormone” because it helps produce other key hormones, like testosterone and estrogen, which are essential for energy, muscle development, and overall vitality.

As we age, DHEA-S levels naturally decline, which can contribute to feeling less energetic, experiencing slower metabolism or even noticing changes in body composition. Supporting healthy DHEA-S levels can help your body feel and perform at its best.

Whey Protein + Fat Loss†* product is formulated with superfood ingredients to naturally support an increase in DHEA-S levels. This can aid in promoting energy, improving muscle tone and boosting your metabolism – helping you look and feel stronger, leaner and more vibrant.

8. Revs up metabolism

Our metabolism allows for the conversion of foods and drinks into energy. In fact, all body processes, from digestion to brain functionality, require metabolizing calories into usable energy.

The fat loss†* superfood mix of clinically studied ashwagandha and cinnamon work together to boost your metabolism†*. A faster metabolism makes it easier to achieve and maintain the body composition you want†*.

9. Boosts energy

The fat loss†* blend also enhances energy levels and reduces fatigue†, thanks to the powerful properties of ashwagandha. That means you can stay active and energized throughout your day.

10. Improves performance

Due to the superfoods in the fat loss†* blend, Whey Protein + Fat Loss†* Blend helps promote athletic performance† and promotes cardiorespiratory endurance and recovery.

11. Assists muscle recovery and sleep

Choosing a protein powder with both A2/A2 milk protein and whey offers the best of both worlds. Together, they provide a comprehensive protein source that supports muscle repair following exercise†*, making it an ideal choice for an active and balanced lifestyle.

In addition, the ashwagandha in the fat loss†* blend helps support restful sleep†.

12. Manage your cravings

The ashwagandha and Ceylon cinnamon are powerful superfoods in the fat loss†* blend that can help minimize cravings† and help you manage your appetite. They even help reduce stress-induced food cravings†. The protein content also helps keep you feel full.

13. Support your cognitive health and healthy stress levels

An overlooked part of fitness and health is your mental well-being. The ashwagandha in the fat loss†* blend can support mental clarity and concentration, healthy cognition plus promote mental alertness.

In addition, the superfoods in the fat loss†* blend helps promote a healthy response to stress† and helps alleviate the effects of stress and tension†. In fact, even reduced serum concentration of cortisol† can be experienced.

How to use

Available in a delicious vanilla cinnamon flavor, adding Whey Protein + Fat Loss†* Blend to your routine is easy. You can simply just shake with 8 ounces of water and go.

It’s also easy to incorporate into smoothies a quick daily protein shake, as the cinnamon flavor is very mild. Some of the best fruits to pair with this protein powder include peaches, berries, apples and frozen bananas. See our article on how to make a perfect smoothie.

When can I expect to see results?

Everyone is different, and everyone will see results on their own timeline. This product is not intended to be a quick fix or short-term solution, but rather part of a long-term healthy lifestyle. If you take this product consistently, pair it with a healthy, calorie-reduced diet and regular exercise, you can expect fat loss results over the next several months (but again, everyone is different)/

In human clinical studies of the key ingredient combined with a healthy calorie-reduced diet and regular exercise, study participants saw weight loss over the course of the studies and the time periods in which they were conducted.

What is A2/A2 milk protein?

A2/A2 milk protein comes from cows that produce only the A2 type of beta-casein, which is the same primary protein found in human milk and is often easier for humans to digest. Originally, all cow's milk contained only A2 beta-casein, but over time a genetic mutation introduced the A1 variant. Most cow's milk available on the market today is a mix of A1 and A2 proteins, but A1 can be harder to digest for some individuals.

A2/A2 milk is sourced from cows bred to eliminate the A1 protein. This makes A2/A2 milk a great option for those who want to avoid regular milk — plus, A2/A2 milk has an admirable nutrient profile, including calcium, vitamin B12 and protein.

Whey Protein + Fat Loss†* Blend uses exclusively grass-fed whey and organic regenerative A2/A2 milk protein, so you can get the benefits of milk and whey protein in an easy-to-digest way.

Where do you source the grass-fed whey protein concentrate from?

Our grass-fed whey protein concentrate is sourced from American grass-fed cows that are raised without hormones or antibiotics, including rBST and rBGH. These cows graze on natural pastures, resulting in milk that’s often richer in omega-3 fatty acids and essential vitamins.

It’s clean protein from cows raised without antibiotics, synthetic hormones and non-GMO feed. Because grass-fed whey comes from cows that graze on natural pastures, it’s an environmentally-friendly option that promotes better soil health, supports biodiversity and helps sequester carbon.

Where do you source the organic regenerative A2/A2 milk protein from?

Ancient Nutrition sources the organic regenerative A2/A2 milk protein from a dedicated, family-owned farm in the U.S. The farm employs regenerative organic farming practices, ensuring that the cows graze on lush, nutrient-rich pastures. These practices produce high-quality milk. By focusing on breeding cows that naturally produce only A2 beta-casein protein, the farm provides milk that is often gentler on the gut, allowing you to enjoy all the benefits of dairy.

I have a dairy allergy, can I take Whey Protein + Fat Loss†* Blend?

No, as whey protein is still a source of dairy. However, many people who are sensitive to traditional dairy products find they can more easily digest A2/A2 milk protein. However, be sure to consult your healthcare professional prior to use.
