Optimal Protein Supplementation

The complete advantage of utilizing multi protein sources and amino acids for a new dimension of sports nutrition benefits! 

Introduction: 

From the everyday nutritionally inclined individual, to the maximum muscle inclined bodybuilder, adequate protein and amino acid ingestion is at the forefront of a sound nutritional program. The importance of moderate to high protein diets and amino acids has shown remarkable results in terms of maintaining a lean, muscular physique: aiding in fat loss, satiety, exercise performance and muscle recovery. In addition, recently moderate/ high protein diets have shown to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, maintain optimal hormone levels, and optimize liver and kidney function along with a host of other benefits. 

Understanding that protein is important is one thing, but knowing what type of protein and amino acids to ingest is equally or even more important factor to consider. 

What type of protein is the best for muscle growth, recovery, endurance, optimal health and well-being? Many studies have proven whey protein to be the best form to quickly enhance plasma amino acid content in the blood stream because of the fast digesting nature of whey. Other research has suggested that casein or other slower digesting proteins is optimal for staying anti-catabolic (less muscle wasting) throughout the day, something whey protein fails to provide. 

The truth is that there is no one “best” source of protein for achieving health and fitness goals- in reality it is the combination of certain proteins that will yield optimal effects! 

I hope to elaborate on this fact, touching on the type and digestibility of proteins, (utilizing the accurate, up to date method known as the Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS)), the importance of including certain additional amino acids in the diet and the benefits of including unique protein fractions to achieving one’s overall fitness goals. 

A. Protein Digestion - Finding a Balance 

Protein powder usually comes in a single source of protein, with some companies preparing products with a couple different types of protein as opposed to one. The main types of protein that are used in powdered protein products include: whey protein concentrates, isolates and hydrolysate , micellar casein, milk protein concentrates and isolates, soy protein, and egg protein. There are other protein options but by generic basis, these types of protein dominate the industry. 

There are a few differences among these types of protein: 

1. Protein Digestibility/ Assimilation - That is, how much of the protein your body can actually use to build/maintain muscle tissue and support overall health. Known as the PDCAAS. 

2. Amino Acid Profile - There are 22 total amino acids, 8 of which are essential and must be ingested through the diet. Protein sources have different amounts and types of amino acids. Animal protein (whey, casein, eggs, etc) contains an adequate amount of all amino acids essential for building tissue
