Other Protein

When most athletes think of protein, the first that comes to mind is usually whey protein. Protein is what muscle is made of, so it is a very useful and even necessary part of a body builder's diet. Protein blends combine various sources of protein like whey concentrate, isolate, casein and other to form a high-quality cocktail of muscle-building fuel. Blends provide fast-absorbing protein for growth, plus other proteins that provide longer digestion times for around-the-clock support. Some blends also include small amount of carbohydrates for maximum performance and recovery. Protein blends are extremely versatile and can generally be taken any time of the day. They're the perfect choice for anyone looking to get more out of their workouts and more out of their muscles.

Supplemental protein is necessary for body builders, and also has the added benefits of reducing hunger, which may lead to lower weight, and improvement in diabetes and heart disease symptoms. Recommended amounts of dietary protein are underestimated for serious athletes, and the added protein can decrease the effects of over-training and help to balance out metabolism. Egg protein contains all of the essential amino acids and is scored high on the PDCAA score and biological value. These two scores tell you that egg protein is efficiently used by the body and is an overall complete protein. The egg protein supplements are also low in cholesterol and fat, generally, giving them an advantage over simply ingesting eggs.
