6d Sports Nutrition Whey Shot

6d Sports Nutrition Whey Shot is made with premium BLG whey protein. Refreshingly fruity in taste and completely free of fat and lactose. Shot contains 20 g of “BLG” whey protein isolate for a maximum support for muscle recovery and growth. Whey Shot is fast-absorbing and easily digestible without unnecessary calories. It is available in a refreshing and natural apple flavor.

Protein intake enhances muscle adaptation in athletes, a process known as muscle protein synthesis. Consuming 20 g of high-quality protein in a meal or supplement provides a strong but brief response, which is ideal for most individuals who consume protein every 3-5 hours.

Increasing the dose to 40 g enhances this response, though to a lesser extent, making 40 g a good option for those seeking a stronger effect. A 40 g protein dose is also recommended when the next meal is more than 5 hours away, making it well-suited as a pre-sleep dose or before an (intermittent) fasting period.

High protein consumption may reduce appetite, which is beneficial for athletes aiming to cut weight but challenging for those with high energy needs. With 20 g of protein per Protein Unit, athletes can easily tailor their intake to meet their specific needs.

Protein is made up of amino acids, which are the building blocks of muscle tissue. Among these, L-leucine plays a crucial role in stimulating muscle protein synthesis. Therefore, we primarily use whey protein in our Protein Series, which naturally provides a minimum of 2 g of L-leucine per 20 g of protein.

Whey Shot is made with beta-lactoglobulin (BLG). BLG, the most leucine-rich fraction of whey, is the only quality protein source that enables a high-protein dose in a compact, great-tasting shot. Excellent for those who prefer a lighter texture resembling a refreshing drink, or for those who wish to avoid fat and lactose entirely.

BLG is characterized by a high content of essential branched-chain amino acids (BCAA). BCAAs are essential amino acids, including valine, leucine and isoleucine. Unlike other amino acids, their metabolism in cells takes place in muscles, fat, kidneys and brain. The BCAA content is especially important for athletes, as they participate in muscle metabolism during intense exercise.

Suggested use:

Take 1 shot within 30 minutes after exercise or at any time of the day to meet your daily protein requirements.
