Anyone got good results from having isolate every few hours as opposed to concentrate which is slower release?
 
Yea I was thinking a blend is a good way to go, but I suspect I may have a dairy allergy and was wondering if anyone has had good results on just whey protein.
 
Not too hijack the thread..but has anyone used like the beef protein powder they make ..one I can think of I believe is called carnivor by muscle med. .not that specific one but anyone used similar products ?? Personally as far as whey and isolate ..I use isolate like the good shit like isopure after I work out...I drink whey shakes during the day and in the morning when I wake up mostly because I use alot of it and it is cheaper..
 
A blend of beef isolate egg white and Gemma pea protein from truenutrition. Whey is out for u if dairy is a concern ....
 
Back in my younger lifting days I tried both separately and never noticed a difference.

I do feel isolate hits the spot quicker after a workout or hen you get screwed and can't get a meal in, however it might just be a placebo effect.
 
Having some isolate every few hours is completely unnecessary, if not a very bad idea if you're substituting for the actual food.

The difference in speed of acting between concentrate and isolate is probably as minor as 5 min (25 vs 20 min on an empty stomach, which is however, a very uncommon condition for someone who eats every 3-5 hours).
Whoever claims to notice the difference is full of shit. It is only a couple of grams of fat and sugar. I prefer isolate as I don't tolerate lactose.
 
Although the evidence is unequivocal whey is integrated into myofibrils and is readily absorbed, the differences between the products (concentrate , vs isolate, vs hydroisolate) efficacy is probabally small.

However although I suspect the more refinned products (hydro-isolate > isolate > concentrate > "milk") are more bioavailable AND better absorbed, whether THAT DIFFERENCE is responsible for improved "muscle growth", is UNLIKELY, IN MY OPINION! (I'm not familiar with any evidence to the contrary however).

My suggestion, because it's often difficult to achieve the ONE GRAM / pound of protein per day for MUSCLE GROWTH (if and only if AAS are also being utilized) protein supplementation simplifies that process and whey/casein products are an excellent means of achieving that dietary goal.

The specific product chosen is more the consequence of one's pocketbook!

sorry, meant to quote the whole post
 
I would concentrate get most your protein (and anything else) from whole foods/meats. One or two at the most Protein Shakes in more than enough. Eat, eat and eat. I love foooood!
 
Nothing beats real food (eggs, red meat, fish, chicken) for getting your protein intake. Supplement your protein intake between meals with a protein blend shake. Take casein before you go to bed, as it absorbs slowly through the night.
 
The chart is incorrect.
It may not be accurate, but its correct in the fact that there is a difference with respect to the biological value of different protein sources.
Not to say that any difference is substantial or even reasonably superior....just not the same from a biological / technical perspective.
