Protein powder isn't a performance-enhancing product. But be careful, it's not a miracle product to get super muscular or get you lean in 3 weeks!
Protein powders are the same proteins you find in your natural food. Consuming them is therefore not a must, but it can have benefits! So what is it for, why take it or not, in what situations should I take it, and how should I take it?
What are proteins used for?
Protein is a nutrient found in your food, just like carbohydrates and fats (your food also contains fiber, vitamins, minerals, etc.). The primary source of protein is therefore your diet! You can find it in large quantities in meat, fish, grains, etc.
Proteins, true “building blocks”, are part of the composition of all body tissues: muscles, but also skin, nails and hair, cartilage and bones, blood vessel walls, etc. They are also present in the blood, hormones, enzymes and antibodies… In short, in the body, they are involved in many vital biological functions…
Protein consumption associated with training plays a major role in the development and maintenance of muscle mass. NB: When we train, we break down muscle fibers (soreness), so we have to rebuild them.
Why take protein powder?
So why take protein powder when we already have it in our food? Well, it's actually a matter of choice! Whether you take a pack of turkey ham or a protein powder shake, in the end, it's almost the same for our body! What matters is to consume enough throughout the day.
Generally, for athletes, it is considered that you need between 1.5 and 2 grams per kilo that you weigh each day.So if you weigh 60 kg and are athletic, you need... 120 g/day!
To give you an example of comparison, for 100g, there are:
- 12.5g of protein
in 0% white cheese - 22 gr in the ham
- 21 gr in the chicken fillet
- 70 to 90 gr for the
protein powder
So that's really interesting! A 30g protein shake will give you about as much protein as a packet of ham or 600g of 0% fat cottage cheese! So it's primarily for practical reasons that we take protein powder!
In what situations should I take protein powder?
It's often easier to make a shake with a dose of protein powder in the locker room than to eat a packet of turkey ham or egg whites that you've been carrying around in your bag all day!
Hydrolyzed Casein
Why Hydrolyzed Casein?
Peptopro is the protein of the future because it doesn't require any effort to digest. As a result, it strongly stimulates protein synthesis during training, making it a rather unique and effective product. It can quickly repair and strengthen muscle fibers and, on the other hand, will allow glycogen stores to be replenished a third faster than without the intake of these high-quality di- and tri-peptides.
Very effective during dieting to reduce muscle loss, but also in mass gain to increase lean mass (muscles).
Benefits of Hydrolyzed Casein:
- Increases anabolism by 50%.
- Increases muscle mass.
- Reduces muscle catabolism.
- Rapidly increases recovery.
- Reduces muscle fatigue, soreness and increases endurance.
- Instantly provides amino acids in the form of bi and tri peptides.
- Increases protein synthesis during and after exercise.
- Increases training performance.
Not to mention that when mixed with water it will remain creamy and release all its aroma.
