(The other two are fats and carbohydrates.) One major point of difference that sets proteins apart from the other macronutrients is that our bodies cannot completely synthesize proteins. In other words, we need to get proteins from our diet. Proteins are responsible for a long list and wide variety of essential functions in our bodies including the growth and maintenance of muscle, bones, cartilage, hair, skin, and nails. Proteins are also needed to make certain enzymes, hormones and blood. Proteins also help enhance immune function. One exciting benefit of dietary protein is that it increases feelings of fullness (satiety) when compared to equal amounts of carbohydrates and fats. The result is that we can eat fewer calories from protein and feel just as satisfied as we would from eating greater amounts of carbohydrates. Protein is a natural appetite suppressant! The Soy Health Claim In October 1999, FDA approved a health claim that can be used on labels of soy-based foods to tout their heart-healthy benefits. The agency reviewed research from 27 studies that showed soy protein's value in lowering levels of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or "Bad" cholesterol). Food markets can now use the following claim, or a reasonable variation, on their products: "Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 25 grams of soy protein a day may reduce the risk of heart disease. One serving of APC Whey/Soy Protein provides 6.25 grams of soy protein (APC Whey/Soy Protein contains a total of 25 grams of protein per serving coming from the combination of Whey/Soy Protein)" To qualify for the claim foods must contain per serving: 6.25 grams of soy protein Low fat (less than 3 grams) Law saturated fat (less than 1 gram) Low cholesterol (less than 20 milligrams) Sodium value of less than 480 milligrams for individual foods, less than 720 milligrams if considered a main dish, and less than 960 milligrams if considered a meal. Whey Proteins Whey protein is a natural mixture of smaller proteins that are derived from dairy milk. APC Whey Protein contains high amounts of essential amino acids that our bodies need every day! Because of APC Whey Protein's excellent and immediate absorption, these amino acids get into the bloodstream rapidly. Whey protein is rapidly absorbed and for that reason is effective at stimulating muscle protein synthesis (muscle growth) during periods of recovery immediately following exercise. Time Release Proteins As mentioned, Whey Protein is absorbed very rapidly. Rapid absorption has its benefits as fast absorption is ideal in the morning, immediately following exercise, etc. However, there are times when a slower, more sustained absorption of protein is beneficial. If and when there is gang to be a long gap between meals or between snacks, time release proteins can be utilized to fuel your body during this time. APC Time Release Protein is a perfect example of a protein product that can help you accomplish this goal. APC Time Release Protein utilizes a unique and precise combination of five different proteins, all with different absorption profiles. This precise combination provides a full spectrum of fast absorbing, medium absorbing and slow absorbing proteins to combine a sustained release for several hours. |

Tastes great, fills you up. by slam it  5 Stars
January 23, 2008
While not as dense as a MRP, this stuff is generally filling and has a great taste when mixed with milk. Doesn't contain any excess ingredients, mainly just protein and flavoring. Use a blender or shaker, doesnt mix well with a spoon.

Fantastic for the price by Jason (Wisconsin) 5 Stars
December 02, 2007
My current supplementation involves whey/soy mixture in the morning, Superpump before workout, 100% whey and CEE after workouts, and the APC Time Release before bed (along with a glutamine cap). I've done a lot of research and have had great results.
I used to take Optimum Nutrition's 100% Casein as my night time shake. But that stuff mixed terribly and cost over double what the APC Time release costs. As far as nutritional value, the two are very similar. If you're on a budget, you won't be disappointed with this protein.
Pros:
+Tastes great in milk and is OK in water.
+Dissolves completely in a shaker bottle or blender. Zero clumps. Do not try to mix with a spoon though. You won't have good results.
+Contains a blend of protein designed to break down slowly. Take this stuff before bed to help prevent a catabolic state.
+Made in Wisconsin (hey, I'm from Wisconsin....)
Cons:
-Artificial Sweetener (Sucralose). I like to keep my diet as natural as possible
-Would like to see a higher proportion of casein protein since that dissolves the slowest.
