Horley's Supplements: Making a Big Statement

Specialising in sports nutrition and wellness supplements, Horleys have been committed to quality since their inception in 1976, offering their customers the edge they need to achieve their goals.

Their flavours are consistent, their formulations are cutting-edge and the quality of their ingredients is second-to-none. The Horleys range of products has been put to the test by thousands of athletes with outstanding results.

The standout products within the Horleys Protein range are without a doubt: Sculpt, Carb Less Protein Bars, Ice Whey and Ripped Protein. While the shelf-presence of the Horleys range is impressive to say the least, we all know it's not a products packaging that gives athletes the boost they desire.

That’s why Horleys ensure that quality nutrition backed by the current science is key in product development, with plenty of attention given to flavour and palatability. Some of their shakes and bars taste downright sensational.

Lean Whey Protein

Horleys Ice Whey contains 100% Whey Protein Isolate (WPI), with a small amount of hydrolysed whey protein, enabling fast absorption to drive anabolism and prime your muscles for repair and growth.

Given that the WPI in Ice Whey provides a minimum of 90% protein, athletes can be assured of purity. In fact, it's rare to find a flavoured protein powder containing 90% protein, particularly one that tastes this good.

Yet, their vanilla flavoured product tips the scales at a stunning 90.3% protein, leaving little room for fats, carbs and the calories that we don't need in a lean protein shake.

Ice is fortified with over half a gram of L-Glutamine per serve, to replenish what is lost during exercise. And with less than a gram of carbs and less than half a gram of fats per serve, and delivering around 27 grams per 39 gram serve of the highest quality protein known to humankind, Ice Whey is sure to impress even the most cynical protein powder connoisseur.

ICE Whey protein is perfect for use any time of day, whether it be post-workout, between meals or to supplement a low protein meal. After all, let's face it, not every meal is going to be perfectly balanced.

There's always that cheat meal or feed at a friend's or relatives that doesn't necessarily offer the quality protein that you need. Rather than sacrifice an opportunity to crank-up your anabolic pathways, which is what quality protein does, try an ICE Whey shake for dessert!

Getting Ripped with Protein

If your looking for some assistance with fat burning or weight loss, Horleys Ripped contains rapidly-digesting whey protein with calcium caseinate to keep you full and satisfied for longer. This makes for the perfect lean muscle recovery product to keep you away from calorie-rich snack foods.

Ripped Protein is low carb and low lactose, with a range of fat loss ingredients and 20 micronutrients, including vitamins and minerals, to assist your fat-loss or shredding regime.

This product contains the formidable Green Tea, Guarana and Green Coffee, Carnitine, Chromium Picolinate, Garcinia cambogia and Black Pepper Extract, all designed to enhance thermogenesis, boost energy levels, and reduce the hunger signals that can make weight loss difficult at times.

Horleys Ripped Factors is a thermogenic, a protein powder and a nutritional insurance policy all in the same container. This is due to the fact that vitamin and mineral intakes, as well as quality protein, tend to drop during weight loss programs, simply due to a lower food intake.

Ripped Protein may be taken between meals to keep you from snacking and to promote recovery. Alternatively, take a scoop after exercise to kick-start muscle recovery and to help keep the delayed onset muscle pains away!

WPC + WPI Protein Blend

Some athletes like to choose this product from the Horleys range, which is a combination of whey protein isolate and whey protein concentrate blended together. The difference is that WPC delivers a little more calories with each protein hit, and keeps the product to a lower price.

It's worth mentioning that as soon as we think of lower price, we tend to assume the product is of a "lower quality". However, the protein in WPC and WPI is the same, just the WPI has gone through more processing to remove more lactose and milk fats.

This makes for a fantastic option when athletes are in off-season, or calorie intake does not need to be capped or closely monitored, as the muscle recovery effects are still exceptional with a whey blend, and with a lower price than a pure isolate product.

Despite the fact that whey protein concentrate is considered by many as a medium absorption protein, research indicates that it absorbs almost as fast as whey protein isolate.

The main difference between WPI and WPC, if not the rapidity of absorption, is mainly the fact that the former is around 90% protein, while the latter is 80% protein and contains more dairy fats and lactose.

Obviously, due to the lower fat content, WPI is lower in calories, and can make things a fraction easier if you are counting calories. This product can be taken post-workout or any time of the day for a delicious protein shake.

The Horleys range are exceptional sports nutrition and wellness supplements, suitable for the professional athlete, or the weekend weightlifter. They also have products to support those whose main goals may not be performance, so much as attaining a specific body composition. For a quality shake or snack that you know will deliver the nutritional support you need, check out the Horleys range.
