A note from the founder of Reflex Nutrition
"We've been in the business of making protein supplements for over 15 years. I'm proud to say that I firmly believe that Reflex Nutrition are truly the pioneers sports nutrition.
Reflex Nutrition have introduced many innovations to the market place, probably more than any other supplement company in the World today. During these years I've also seen some very misleading information passed to customers by supplement companies and so called industry experts, unfortunately this erroneous information has only served to confuse and not properly educate.
Our aim is different but very straight forward. We want to give you easy to understand information, research and facts. The ultimate goal is to ensure you are better equipped to make the right choice when you buy your supplements, whether they are Reflex Nutrition supplements or not.
Please take your time to thoroughly explore this site and I'm sure you'll gain a valuable insight to the real facts about whey protein."

Whey protein could help blood sugar control.

Taking whey protein with meals can help stimulate insulin release in type 2 diabetics, shows a Swedish study.
When diabetic subjects took a whey protein supplement at the same time as a high GI breakfast or lunch, they too had lower blood
sugar response and higher insulin response, report the researchers in this month's issue of the American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition (vol 82, no 1, 69-75).
The findings suggest that whey protein supplements could help diabetics improve their blood sugar control.

Whey protein could help prevent diarrhoea in humans.
17 June 2005
Researchers in New Zealand have reported that whey protein concentrate, as found in Reflex products, reduced the severity
of rotavirus-induced diarrhoea in a mice model. These results pave the way for future trials with humans and could become a very
useful treatment for children, and adults who are susceptible to diarrhoea.
Only 36% of the mice fed whey protein concentrate developed the rotavirus-induced diarrhoea, whereas the control group was nearer
63%. Another compelling finding was the group fed WPC experienced severe diarrhoea for only two days, compared with four days for
the control group.
The results of the study are published in the June issue of the Journal of Nutrition (135, 6:1470-74, 2005).
The actual mechanism of WPC's ability to limit rotavirus-induced diarrhoea is unclear, but is believed to stem from the bioactive
proteins found in whey protein concentrate.
