Protein Supplements

Protein supplements are of great importance to anyone who is training with the intention of building muscle or increasing athletic performance. Protein, or more importantly the amino acids that it supplies to the body, are fundamental in maintaining and building lean muscle tissue.

Many foods such as eggs, meat, poultry and fish (in abundant amounts) present protein. These foods should also be incorporated into any healthy diet.

The nutritional requirements of someone who trains with weights for athletic gain are higher than that of the average sedentary person. That’s why to meet these requirements its not always possible to get the necessary amount of protein from regular foods alone.

This is where protein supplements become truly valuable. Not only are they extremely convenient - there are protein powders, bars, puddings and cereals now - but they are generally engineered to such a high standard that they surpass regular foods in nutritional profile and in ease of absorption.

There many different protein supplements available and each type has it own advantages and disadvantages. Available protein supplements can be divided e.g. in whey protein, whey protein isolate, whey protein hydrolysates, and casein/micellar casein.

There will be more information of different types of protein in future post! Stay tuned.
