Protein is a concentrated protein found in sports nutrition stores as a dietary supplement. It is essential for bodybuilders, powerlifters and even regular amateur athletes to build beautiful muscles.
How to choose protein
The sports nutrition market represents the widest range of proteins. It is not immediately possible to understand which one is better to buy. The price for this type of food is not small, so you cannot make a mistake when choosing. First you need to decide what kind of protein you need.
There are several types of concentrated protein. Whey protein has become the most popular. It contains the largest amount of BCAA amino acids. In addition, it is very easily and quickly absorbed in the body, enriching the muscles with the necessary nutrients. Whey protein is best taken in the morning and after exercise.
Casein is a complex protein. In the body, it creates a curd mass, which is broken down for a long time. All this time, the muscles are enriched with amino acids. It is advisable to take casein protein before bed to fuel the muscles throughout the night.
Soy protein is great for people looking to lose weight. It removes cholesterol from the blood, and also has the necessary amount of amino acids. But if you have gut problems, this type of protein is not for you.
There is also egg protein, which has the highest digestibility. It is called perfect because its biological value is very high. The price is also high, so not every protein company sells egg protein as well. In Russia and Ukraine, you can find this supplement from Optimum Nutrition, Dymatize Nutrition and Sci-Fit 100% Egg Protein.
How to buy protein
You can buy protein at any sports nutrition store. You can also order the supplement online. With a little time, you can find good sites where the protein of your choice will be slightly cheaper than in the store.
The most important thing is not to save. Of course, not everyone has the money for expensive sports nutrition, but there will be no sense from cheap protein. Most often, athletes only gain a few pounds in a month from cheap protein.
Pay attention to the firm. Buy proteins only from well-known manufacturers that have long established themselves on the market. This could be Bio Tech, Dymatize Nutrition, Ultimate Nutrition, Optimum Nutrition, Universal Nutrition, Weider, and more.
If you want to lose weight, be sure to make sure that your protein is free of fats and carbohydrates.
