Whey Protein Tips

By: Steve Gargento

Read this article for a detailed information on whey protein and when it's best to take it.

It's proven that whey is the finest type of protein available. This is due to the advantages it holds over other types of protein, like egg whites, casein or soy. Compared to them, whey protein is digested and absorbed more easily by the human body. It also stimulates the immune function and has the highest concentration of BCAA (Branched Chain Amino Acids) leucine, isoleucine and valine, which are instrumental during the recover and growth phases.

The bodybuilding industry is the one that is responsible for this great development of whey protein, so protein powder manufacturers are well aware of its benefits and that's why more than half of all bodybuilding supplements contain whey. But bodybuilding is a really complicated sport and it's really a combination of key elements that lead to the final success. It's not just about buying a good whey protein, you need a multi-vitamin pack, hard training and commitment, 4-5 nutritious meals during the day and at least 8 hours of sleep.

Although whey protein gets quickly absorbed by the body, that doesn't mean that there aren't any tips and tricks to make the process even more rapid. That's because in certain periods during the day, the body has a much greater need for whey. Having a whey protein shake right after you wake up is perhaps the best moment.

Morning intake of whey protein is highly advisable, because your body doesn't get the necessary amino acids during your sleep, which leads to a catabolic sate and your body could start breaking down muscle mass to get aminos. This is something that no bodybuilder would like to experience, knowing how much work they have put in to gain every single inch. The early intake of whey protein stops the catabolic process and will kick-start the growth of your muscles.

To get even faster digestion, don't mix whey protein with milk, use water instead. Milk contains additional aminos and other components which are hard to digest. That's why it's best to have it with water, after breakfast.

Drinking a protein shake before and after training is for those that are having really hard times trying to gain weight. Since good bodybuilding trainings are exhausting, you need to have a max recovery. The first 40 minutes after workout are the best moment to have a whey shake.

Besides whey protein, most protein powder manufactures add extra supplements to make the product even more effective. Read the labels to know what exactly they are. It's important to know the amount of carbs. Carbs give you energy when training, but if you want to loose weight, then it's better to buy a low carb protein.
