There
are many different kinds of protein as well as a huge price range. I am
going to help clear up some of the differences as well as save you some
money when buying different powders. My favorites are linked feel free
to click on the pictures.
Protein shakes are made by using the casein or “curd” that is separated from the milk-fat that is used to make cheese. The remaining liquid is whey and is sifted by specialty filters that separate the lactose and other ingredients from the liquid whey. This liquid whey then going into an ion exchange tower to condense the whey protein. The product is then dried and the water is removed so it is left in a powder form. The first kind of protein that I am going to talk about is whey protein.
Whey protein is the cheapest form of protein and consists of only 29%-89% protein. Because it was not filtered more it still has a lot of sugar carbs and other junk that your body does not need. This is very different than whey protein Isolate.
(cheaper at warren nutrition located all over the gr area.)
Whey protein and whey isolate peak absorption is at around 30 minuites after consumption and is completely cleared from your system in around 3 hours. Isolate protein has been further filtered and removes the extra carbohydrates, cholesterol, and sugar. This is my preferred protein due to the fact that it had many of the extra junk removed but is not genetically altered at all. This protein tends to consist of 90% or more protein.
I do not like soy protein for a few reasons. Soy does not have the active ingredients immunoglobulins and lactoferrin. These are good for your immune system as stated above. Soy also has a slow absorption rate and has a lower amount of amino acids. Soy also increases estrogen levels which is a female sex hormone which can send male and female systems out of wack.
Hydrolysate whey protein. Is even further filtered than whey and isolate. It is very expensive but is easy on the stomach It takes about 10-30 minutes for the protein to be completely absorbed into your system. It is not a very good food supplement due to the fact that everything is so filtered there is not much for your body to do. Some of these are also genetically altered so I hesitate to recommend these to everyone. Another kind of important protein is Casein.
Casein protein is important when you need a slow absorption protein. This protein can stay in your system for 3-4 hours. Casein coagulates in the stomach which slows down the absorption of protein so even if you mixed a whey and casein product it will just slow the absorption of both. This is best taken before a long shift at work where there are no breaks. Or I like taking it right before bed for lasting affects. This kind of protein tends to be very hard on the stomach as well as people who are lactose intolerant.
