  Whey protein powder is a superior protein choice because it is rich in glutamine and essential amino acids. It can also decrease the amount of muscle tissue broken down during an exercise session and aid in the synthesis of protein as muscles are being rebuilt and strengthened. Other reasons include:

  • Whey stimulates the metabolism. The amino acid profile of whey enhances recovery from exercise by stimulating muscle protein synthesis.

  • Whey is derived from calcium-rich milk products. Foods with a high calcium content increase fat loss, especially if you are on a low-calorie diet.

  • Whey helps the body to recover more quickly from the stress of exercise.

  • Whey gives strong support to the immune system.

  • Due to its high amino acid and glutamine content, whey supports gastrointestinal health and offers relief from digestive distress such as cramps, bloating, and diarrhea.

  Are supplements good for me or a waste of money?

  Multivitamins are very important especially those nutrients that cannot be synthesized by the body. High quality whey and casein protein supplements also have their place when eating and preparing solid food is not possible or convenient. Supplements are not exactly a waste of money, in fact they are a good investment for better health that can go a long way, but they’re main function is to complement your diet and can never replace whole foods.

  What's the best time to eat protein powders?

  1 Answer(s)

  Max Power

  Ideally, protein powders should be consumed before and after your weight training workout. You take it before your training so that you have essential amino acids in your system that will help enhance muscle protein synthesis to build and develop muscle. Post workout protein supplements will cause another increase in muscle protein synthesis, this time to repair muscles, which ultimately translates to better and faster gains in lean mass. Keep in mind though that protein powders and meal replacement powders are just like food and there’s nothing special in them that you can’t get from natural and whole food products. Use supplements only when it is not possible or convenient to prepare and eat a full meal.

  Monica Lorica

  Protein shakes can help you lose weight. The body finds it hard to convert protein into energy, so as a result, it makes use of the reserved energy in the form of fats. Aside from the fact that protein shakes aids in weight loss, it also has amino acids that your body essentially needs. However, protein shakes alone will not make you lose weight; you must couple it with exercise for better results.

  Dr. Kavita

  Bodybuilders or athletes who use protein shakes are perpetually concerned about the right time to take protein shakes. Debates have been raised; equal number of votes for using protein shakes before workouts and after workouts. Then there is another opinion of taking protein shakes both before and after workouts. But if you want to prevent catabolic breakdown of proteins in muscles, use shakes post workout.
