Summary
USN’s Pure Protein GF-1 is a protein blend consisting of a precise mixture of different protein sources. Protein is the structural core of the human body and is at work in every single cell. Protein performs many essential functions in the body. It is required for growth and repair of tissues.
The quality of a protein is determined by its amino acid profile. Milk and high-quality soy, combine essential and nonessential amino acids (protein building blocks) to support muscle growth and maintenance.
USN’s Pure Protein GF-1 provides an excellent source of protein which the body can use to build and maintain muscle tissue during and after intense physical activity. This scientifically engineered formula is a must for any athlete, body-builder or individual. Pure Protein is a great tasting shake and mixes easily.
Who should use it:
• Any person who needs a high quality, balanced protein shake
• It’s ideal for active people following a low carb eating plan
Core benefits of Pure Protein GF-1:
• Protein contributes to the growth & maintenance of muscle mass
• Pantothenic acid supports normal synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones, vitamin D and some neurotransmitters
• Pantothenic acid also contributes to normal mental performance and a reduction in tiredness and fatigue
• Magnesium contributes to normal protein synthesis & the maintenance of normal muscle function
• Folic acid also supports normal amino acid synthesis and functioning of the immune system
• Niacin contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism
• Contains Tolerase pH-stable lactase. Lactase enzyme improves lactose digestion in individuals who have difficulty digesting lactose

Reviews

It's great, just prefer it when mixed with milk instead of water, I'm hoping there's no rule against that!
5
For the price this is and for the size you get it's fantastic! I'm extremely pleased with my purchase!
4
Taste is good in comparison to other proteins I have tried and does mix well. To those complaining about lack of gains I'm afraid that is dependant on your genetics, training and diet as a whole- this is only protein powder!
5
Love that supp. I only drink it b4 bed time. 7days a week. Improves my recovery in a long run. Capputino is soooo good! Usually slow relise protein gives me stomach problems, but IGF 1 Protein is very well absorbed, so as soon as im awake im ready 4 big breakfast!
5

5
Love this stuff, has helped alot with cravings whilst been on my Pre-contest Diet also is great as it's super low carbs and fast and flow released proteins which is great for before bed and pre/post workout. will be using in off season as well!!!! Great Stuff.

Been using this product for two years, excellent tasting and easy to mix in a shaker. Wouldn't use any other brand.

Really good taste and results from using this 3 times a day.
Only downside the mix is terrible even with blender bottle still was lumpy
FAQs
- Q.
Hi I am currently on a very low protein diet but struggling to eat breakfast...would a serving of this be ok as a replacement? My aim is under 20g carbs per day...also does this contain sugars? Thanks
- A.
This is perfect for an added hit of protein and only contains 1.2grams of sugars. Therefore could be taken anytime during the day including post workout.
- Q.
could you use this product along side shred-x or grenade for extra fat burning or would this effect the performance of the product
thanks - A.
This would be a perfect product to use alongside one of those fat burners and will increase the amount of muscle tissue kept during dieting.
- Q.
which product is better from the USN company the 100% whey protien or the pure protien, i have had arguments from both sides which are really good but i cannot deside, i have both of these products but which should i use in the long run, by the way i am looking to gain mass and lose fat.
- A.
Well for starters the 100% whey protein is just a standard whey protein product whereas the pure protein IGF1 is a combination protein consisting of fast and slow release proteins and loaded with BCAA’s and multivitamins. The 100% whey protein is ideal for first thing in the morning and immediately post workout whereas pure protein igf1 is perfect for during the day and before bed.
Everyone wants to build mass and loose body fat but the reality is, we can’t. You need more calories than you are burning in a day to build muscle and around 500 calories less a day to decrease body fat. Use USN Muscle fuel mass, hyperbolic mass or muscle fuel anabolic on a daily basis to consume the extra calories you need to promote muscle growth. - Q.
hi, just need you to clarify if usn pure protein igf-1 is actually suitable for vegetarians and if it states that on the tub. You answered a similar question with egg and milk proteins only which i did not understand. Cheers.
- A.
This product contains dairy ingredients but doesn't contain any other obvious animal source products. So as far as I can tell it is fine for vegetarians.
However, I've looked at the ingredients for the chocolate flavour, if you opt for strawberry, ensure the colouring "cochineal red" is not in the ingredients, as that is sourced from animals. - Q.
I would like to lose weight and gain muscle to get in a better shape will this protien help me lose weight and gain muscle? & how many servings will I have to take to achieve my goals?
- A.
Any low carb (and low fat) protein should aid in fat loss, as protein makes you feel full longer and requires more energy to metabolize. You should aim for a minimum of 2 grams of protein for every 1 kilo of your body weight daily and keep cutting your carbs (especially the starchy and sugary ones and especially at night) until you are losing about 1 kilo per week - this will need adjusting because you'll lose more fat and weight early on but then the losses will come more slowly and require more restriction and/or more exercise.
Take as many servings as needed daily to achieve the recommendation below when added to your other dietary protein intake. - Q.
i was thinking of taking l-glutamine alongside igf-1, but heard it already contains this . is this correct
- A.
Yes, it already contains some L-glutamine. Probably the best thing to stack it with for muscle and strength gains is some kind of creatine product - use Cell-Tech for the fastest gains in mass or a powdered creatine or Creakic for lean gains.
- Q.
I'm looking to for a protein powder that will help boost my protein intake and also help me build muscle, but i don't want to put on any weight. Will USN pure protein do that??
- A.
Many people e-mail us and want to gain muscle without gaining fat. This is possible when you just start out training or when you come back from time off the gym and possibly if you have fantastic genetics.
BUT outside of the above scenarios, you are NOT going to gain muscle without gaining some fat!
To make maximum muscle gains, you have to also gain some fat because you have to be eating more calories than you are burning. So you have to decide whether you want to make big, fast gains or moderate, slow gains (or possibly no gains at all) by trying to stay lean while gaining muscle.
If you want fast gains, take a Weight Gainer (like Mutant Mass or Mass-Tech) along with some kind of creatine product (the Mass-Tech already includes creatine). For slower gains but less gains in fat, go with a low-calorie product which also contains other muscle-building ingredients, such as Nitro-Tech or Synergy Iso-7.
The relative amount of fat and muscle you gain will also depend upon your training intensity and duration and your particular genetics (whether you gain fat easily).
Sorry for the delayed response due to essential maintenance - Q.
hey i just wanted to know whether this supplement is suitable for vegetarians?
cheers. - A.
Egg and milk proteins only
- Q.
can 15 yr old teenagers take this product
- A.
Yes, this is a protein product that consists of natural milk, soy and egg proteins.
- Q.
If I were to take 3 servings of USN Pure Protein IGF a day, when would be the best times to take it? And if i were to stack it with USN Muscle Fuel Anabolic when would be the best time to take either product?
- A.
Anabolic would always be best after training because it has a good whack of carbs and creatine along with the protein. Also, to make faster gains, Anabolic is better because it has the carbs, creatine and extra calories from those.
If you're taking the Pure Protein only, take it first thing in the morning (just before breakfast), unless you have a big serving of eggs with breakfast. Then take it either with snacks, just before meals that aren't high in protein and just before bed. - Q.
hi, how many servings does this products have? thanks.
- A.
39 servings if you use the full, 2-scoop serving (40 grams of protein).
- Q.
How many mg of cholesterol per serving'
- A.
Cholesterol isn't listed on these products, so this information can only be obtained from the manufacturer (USN)
- Q.
How does this compare to Reflex Peptide Fusion Which of the two will last longer in terms of price per serving'
- A.
These are both high-quality protein blends. Pure protein is a better deal per gram of protein (Fusion recommends only 1 scoop and Pure Pro is 2 - twice the size serving - but you can take a half or twice the serving size of either depending upon your needs so this is irrelevant). Also, Pure Protein is 3.00 less money. So you get more protein for your money with Pure Protein.
- Q.
What could i stack this product with '
could i stack it with:
USN Recover xcell'
USN Muscle Fuel anabolic' - A.
It depends upon what you are trying to achieve - For the fastest gains in muscle and strength, use Anabolic. If you just want a basic post-workout recovery drink, try Recover Xcell.
- Q.
Hi. When trying to add muscle mass which is better, a basic Whey protein isolate and concentrate blend or a blend of different types of protein like usn pure protein IGF-1' I get confused on which to buy! Thanks.
- A.
Whey protein is the best protein from a muscle-building, post-workout, health, recovery, etc point of view. However, you may benefit from a protein blend product (which includes whey) if you go long periods without protein or if you don't eat a high-protein meal shortly before bed. Whey feeds amino acids to the muscle for about 4 hours, after that it will have been fully digested, whereas blends can continue to deliver aminos to the bloodstream for over 10 hours.
- Q.
can i get this in 5kg'
- A.
2.2 kilo is the biggest size that they do.
