FAQ:

Q1: What is protein powder? 

Protein powders are powdered forms of protein that come from plants (soybeans, peas, rice, potatoes, or hemp), eggs, or milk (casein or whey protein). 

Whey protein powder is derived from cow’s milk. Whey protein is absorbed and digested most rapidly.

Health&Tea uses Whey Protein Isolate in our Isolate Protein Matcha products, containing milk.

Q2: Why do you need protein?

Protein is essential for building and maintaining muscle, bone strength, and numerous body functions.

According to the article “The scoop on protein powder” on Harvard Health Blog, eating enough protein is necessary for a healthy immune system and required for organs like your heart, brain, and skin to function properly. The article notes the amount thought to be adequate for most healthy people, called the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), is set at 0.8 grams per kilogram.  (link: https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/the-scoop-on-protein-powder-2020030918986)

Q3: What is whey isolate protein or whey protein isolate (WPI)?

Whey protein powder is derived from cow’s milk.  There are three types of whey protein products: whey protein concentrate (WPC), whey protein isolate (WPI), and whey protein hydrolysate (WPH).

Whey protein isolate (WPI) is processed to reduce whey’s fat and lactose content, leaving mainly protein. Whey isolate protein has the best quality of protein.

Health&Tea uses WPI in our Isolate Protein Matcha products.

Q4: What are benefits of whey protein isolate (WPI)?

WPI contains a high level of protein (above 90% of protein content) and has very low fat, cholesterol, and lactose. Several studies on PubMed.gov suggest that Whey isolate protein is good for muscle growth when taken over time with regular resistance training (reference 1, 2, 3). According to an article “Difference between Whey and Whey Isolate” on Webmd, whey protein isolate may be better for people who have trouble digesting lactose or are lactose intolerant.

Q5: What is matcha?

Matcha is finely ground powder of specially grown and processed green tea leaves. According to an article “All About Matcha” on Webmd, Matcha is very rich in antioxidants with lots of health benefits. (Source: https://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/ss/slideshow-all-about-matcha
