WHAT IS THE BEST PROTIEN????

Heres a guide to what whey protein is , the differentiate between the variations , and how to use them.

If you are serious about packing lean muscle you NEED protein.
You need at least one gram of protein per pound of body weight per day EVERY DAY!.

The majority of your protein should come from a whole food sources, such as chicken, fish, turkey, eggs, and red meat.
Three times a day the whle food protein is not the best option,
1)Immediately after you wake up
2)Just before working out
3)Right after working out

WHEY PROTEIN
A
product of milk it is high quality protein. It is fast digested, it has a high concentration of BCCAs , and it is boosting the levels of insulin in the body. Essentially whey cover all the bases for optimal muscle growth. But it is also enhance the blood flow into the muscles which enhance the delivery of nutrients into the muscles and create the muscle pump during your work out and increase the growth of the muscles. It is also provide calcium since it is a product of milk which support bones and dental health and can help in body fat reduction.

Whey protein comes in three different forms :whey protein concentrate, whey protein isolate, whey protein hydrolysate.
The difference
are in the processing methods, the more processing it undergoes the higher the content in the powder.

Whey protein concentrate(WPC)
One of the first steps in the production of protein separate the fat and curbs from the protein. T he result is WPC, the basic form of whey protein.
Most of the WPC tody are 75%-80%protein, with the reminder fat and curbs.This product is usually less expensive then the other forms of whey protein less processing also means that most of the beneficial whey peptide fractions remain in place.
WPC is a good choice for those on budget , or for people that want to reap all the health benefits of whey.

Whey protein isolate(WPI)
Because it is process more, WPI is a purer form of protein that WPC, go through more process that farther remove the fat and curbs from the protein thats creates whey protein powder that contains 90%-98% protein.Due it low curb and fat WPI is GREAT choice when you are dieting.
It is also a better protein to take post work out since the body can digest it faster.

Whey Protein Hydrolysate WPHThrough a further process the protein break down into smaller peptide fragments. thats means that WPH can be digested and absorbed even faster then WPI and there for is the BEST option for post work out protein, but more expensive as well.

What ever whey you chose , chose the best that fit your budget, BUT CHOSE ONE. .
WHEY PROTEIN IS CRUCIAL IN MUSCLE GROWTH.

whey and caesin are milk proteins. what is milk, from and evolutionary/teleological point of view? food for immature guts, i.e. babies. therefore it is more easily digested than other proteins, or more bio-available. and as it is a baby's only source of protein, it is well balanced with regard to essential amino acids (i.e. ones we can't make ourselves). this is not the case for protein in meats and other 'end stage' tissues, where the structural requirements of the tissue generally skew the component amino acids: collagen, for example is 40% proline. moreover complex proteins, like those found in meats, require lots of time for digestion, and are very often not completely digested by the time they pass from the small to large bowel, where digestion will cease, which is to say that they are not as bio-available as milk proteins. Hope this makes sense.

p.s. papaya extract supplements (principal ingredient in meat tenderizer) can help you digest meats faster, improving their bio-availability. coke and pepsi were originally intended to be 'digestifs' to be drunk after meals, as the cola bean also contains an enzyme that breaks down proteins (i.e. 'proteolytic').
