In addition to providing you with the best products on the market, we offer you an article that will allow you to understand what a protein is and why, when, and how to take it. You will also be able to find which type is made for you...
1. WHAT IS A PROTEIN?
Proteins, whether from animal and/or vegetable sources, help repair muscle fibers broken during sport and form new cells. It is important to understand that proteins are not doping products, it is a molecules that muscles use to rebuild themselves.
2. WHY TAKE PROTEIN?
You are not reaching your protein intake with your diet
You can't eat for 2 hours after training
You want to gain muscle faster
you want to lose weight
3. THE BENEFITS OF PROTEIN POWDER:
Quantity matters more than source so the body will not tell the difference between food protein and protein powder as long as the right amount is ingested;
They have a practical side, it is easier to take a 100g shaker which will contain 70 to 90g of protein than its turkey equivalent (400g);
This is cheaper than the same amount of protein in food;
This can be very interesting for vegetarians and vegans;
There are no side effects, if taken too much, the kidneys will simply eliminate the rest.
4. WHEN SHOULD PROTEIN BE TAKEN?
At several times of the day because your body does not know how to ingest the daily amount necessary in one meal. The most effective option is to take 4 x 20gr of protein over the day, that is to say, 3 meals and a snack.
Protein powder should be taken after intensive physical exertion to aid recovery. They are not necessary after cardio training. Try not to take a shaker 1 hour before eating in order to space out the intake.
5. HOW TO TAKE YOUR PROTEIN POWDER?
You have the option of mixing your powder with water, milk or even vegetable milks for an ever better shaker.
6. WHICH TYPE OF PROTEIN POWDER SHOULD I PREFER?
The isolate or hydrolyzate for people who train with very high intensity (it contains 90% protein)
Whey for weightlifting (it contains between 70 and 80% protein)
Casein, this protein will be digested slowly and should usually be taken before sleeping
A protein powder containing less than 70% protein will contain more carbohydrates, so it will be less effective.
7. GOOD TO KNOW:
A person who does not practice regular and intense sports activity will not need to add protein outside of their meals;
Protein shakers do not replace meals.
It is important to be well hydrated
THIS IS NOT A MIRACLE PRODUCT, you have to train
