Protein Supplements

Whey is a protein made from milk and is by far the most popular option and is the fastest digesting protein available. Whey protein is high in the branched chain amino acids needed for muscle and tendon building: Leucine, isoleucine, and vein Olene.

These are the 3 main types of the whey protein powder available.

1. Whey protein concentrate: This is the least processed form of the whey protein. Whey protein concentrate contains less protein than other forms of whey protein -around 75%- but it has more of the other helpful compounds and melt, along with more lactose and fat.
2. Whey protein isolate: This form of whey protein house almost all fat and lactose removed. It contains 90-95 percent protein.
3. Whey protein hydrolysate: Whey protein hydrolysate is a form of whey protein powder that has been hydrolyzed, or partially broken down to ease digestion. It can be made from either whey protein concentrate or whey protein isolate.

Casein, like whey protein, is a protein found in milk. Casein protein takes longer to digest than whey protein powder, making it better for staying full for a long time but not as good when you want protein to be absorbed quickly into your body.

Plant-based protein can be used by people who are sensitive to dairy or prefer not to eat animal products and there are plenty of protein powder options.

Soy, rice, pea, and hemp protein are all common. Pea and rice protein in particular are easy to digest and high in the medial acids needed for muscle growth and repair, and are often combined and Vegen protein blends.

Egg protein is very easy for the body to utilize, and is great for people who cannot eat dairy but can eat eggs.

Beef, chicken, and bone broth are good protein options for people who want to avoid dairy but benefit from the amino acids and other nutrients found in animal protein.
