Protein powder introduction:
Protein powder, as the name suggests, is a protein supplement. This is one of the best sources of protein. Let’s directly introduce several protein powders
Whey protein: Known as the king of protein, it is the most efficient and direct choice for protein intake. It is also called WP, Whey Protein. Generally speaking, if the protein content is less than 85%, it is whey protein. The advantage of whey protein is that it is rich in amino acids and can be directly digested and absorbed within 2-30 minutes after drinking. Therefore, whey protein is best consumed after muscle training.
Protein isolate (WPI), the full English name is Whey Protein Isolate, which is further purified on the basis of whey protein. The purity of the protein is higher, generally above 85%, which is more conducive to absorption.
Casein Protein: This is the sibling of whey protein, another protein from milk. Compared with whey, casein can stably release amino acids for a longer period of time. One drink can last 7-8 hours in the body, making it very suitable for drinking before going to bed and between meals. During fat loss, it is better to use casein protein rather than whey protein. Because casein stays in the intestines and stomach for a long time, on the one hand, you will not feel hungry, and on the other hand, it can be digested and decomposed slowly, which can provide enough energy for weight loss. Casein protein has lower calories, fat and sugar, making it more suitable for those who want to lose fat.
Mixed protein: The mixed protein here mainly includes a variety of high-quality proteins such as protein isolate, hydrolyzed protein, casein, etc., which can simultaneously meet the needs of instant absorption and long-term digestion and absorption. This type of protein is generally more expensive and has the most comprehensive effects.
Other proteins: This mainly refers to egg protein, soy protein and recently beef protein from Muscle Meds. Eggs are very goodA cheap source of protein, egg protein is also a very good protein. Seeing this, many friends who are allergic to whey may have felt a life-saving straw. Once we add our own reasoning to many things, we will be completely wrong. Let’s talk about it again. Eggs are a very good and cheap source of protein. This is true and no one denies it. Therefore, the egg protein extracted from eggs is also a very good protein. This is just our reasoning. So is this reasoning objective and reasonable? In fact, egg protein is the same as soybean protein from Amway and others. The materials and technology are relatively rudimentary, and the bioavailability is very low. With the development of the times, it can no longer meet everyone's needs, so it is destined to be a marginal product.
By the way, regarding whey protein allergy, in addition to choosing eggs, it is also a good idea to add less water and mix the protein into a milkshake. Before the 1980s, soy protein was the main protein source for bodybuilders. After the 1980s, it was completely replaced by whey protein. It is now more common in some health care product markets, such as Amway and By-Health. The glutamine content in soy protein is relatively high, so it is also very good to mix soy protein with whey protein. Of course, soy protein also has its own shortcomings. It may be difficult for some people to absorb and cause discomfort such as flatulence. As for Muscle Meds’ so-called biotechnology-extracted beef protein, I personally think it’s more gimmick than functional, and it tastes very weird. However, the price is cheap and the price-performance ratio is very high. If you like to try new tastes, you might as well try it.
Some common questions:
1. Is excessive intake of high protein harmful to the body? Will it increase the burden on kidney function?
Answer: So far, there are no reports showing any harm to kidney organs caused by excessive daily protein intake.
It’s not just protein. When you eat and drink water, your kidneys are burdened, but our internal organs are fully able to withstand such work pressure.
2. What about WPC80, 90 and other raw material powders?
Answer: Currently there are many sellers of raw material powder on Taobao, so I don’t want to comment too much on this. Regardless of whether the raw materials are genuine or not, protein powder needs to be sterilized at high temperatures during the manufacturing process, and some digestive enzymes suitable for digestion are added. The seasoners will also add different spices to form different flavors. The raw materials are sold directly, omitting high-temperature sterilization and adding some digestive enzymes that are more suitable for digestion. The price will of course be cheaper (the bacteria contained in the raw materials will not increase the price). If the ingredients are fake (sorry, we are in China, I am mentioning this fact after all), then the price will be cheaper. Again, it’s up to you to decide whether you need to choose “raw material powder”.
Introduction to weight gain (muscle) powder
Muscle-gaining powder, please note that it is only translated as "muscle-gaining powder" in China. In other countries, it is translated as "weight-gaining powder". Nutritional products have not entered the Chinese market for a long time. More than ten years ago, a Beijing company that represented a famous foreign nutritional product brand advertised in the media for the first time with the word "mass gainer powder". Over the years, everyone has developed a feeling of "building muscle" towards him. In fact, muscle-building powder cannot build muscle, it can only gain weight. What does it mean? It means it can only increase your weight, but not your muscles. Still don’t understand? To put it more clearly, if you don’t train, then it can only increase your fat and fat. It is absolutely impossible for those who want to rely on weight-gaining powder or "muscle-building powder" in your imagination to gain muscle all over their body.
There is nothing mysterious about weight gain powder. In essence, protein powder is added with carbohydrates and mixed in a certain ratio to provide more calories and more favorable conditions for weight gain.
Some questions about weight gain powder
Question: Why is weight gain powder cheaper than protein powder?
Answer: It’s very simple, because weight-gaining powder contains a lot of carbohydrates, and carbohydrates are relatively cheap, so the price of weight-gaining powder is relatively cheap.
Question: People who are thinner need to have some fat before exercising. Is that true?
Answer: It’s pure fart. First of all, the composition of muscle and fat are completely different. The relationship between the two is like plastic and iron, two things that are completely incomparable. In any case, conversion is not possible.
Question: How should I choose, weight gain powder or protein powder?
Answer: We have said before that nutritional supplements are part of our daily diet, just like we eat rice and bread. When choosing between weight gain powder or protein powder, you must understand your goals and what you need. To put it more bluntly, if you want to gain weight and gain weight but don’t have time to exercise, then there is no doubt about it. If you want to gain muscle, be in shape, and have time to work out, then there is no doubt about protein powder. Take a look at your body shape. If you are skinny and afraid of turning into a kite when the wind blows, you can choose weight gain powder first. Once you have a few months of fitness history, don’t hesitate, protein powder is your best and only choice.
Data shows that in the United States, the sales ratio of protein powder and weight gain powder is ten to one; in China, it is ten to four. This shows that many Chinese people still have certain misunderstandings in the choice of protein powder and muscle-building powder. This is also related to the underdevelopment of our sports culture and supplement culture.
