WHEY... WHEN & WHY?
Q. A friend told me that I should be taking a whey protein supplement to help fight fatigue after my work outs. I am worried it will make me bulk up, which I am not looking to do. What are the advantages to using whey protein over other protein sources, and when is the best time to take a protein supplement?
A. This is a question I get all the time. I recommend whey protein for a lot of people and I tend to get a certain look from the majority of them who say they are not looking to build muscle mass... why do they need to take whey? The truth is, the advantages of adding a whey supplement to your daily routine goes WHEY beyond muscle building and exercise/sport nutrition.
Why Whey?
Found within the protein of whey are micro nutrients or protein fractions, alpha-lactalbumin, beta lactoglobulin, lactoferrin and glycomacropeptides. Each of the fractions have slightly different benefits. Alpha-lactalbumin is the fastest and most absorb-able of any protein source and has been found to be one of the effective forms of overall nutrition for healthy growth and development. Alpha lactalbumin is also one of the highest sources in nature, of both tryptophan and cysteine. This means it plays a role in the maintenance of healthy levels of serotonin and glutathione, an essential neurotransmitter and powerful antioxidant, respectively. It also comprises 30% of breast milk and is therefore also one of the most important protein fractions for a newborn child. Beta lactoglobulin is the most abundant protein fraction found in most whey supplements. It has been shown to increase the absorption of fat soluble vitamins, prevent the breakdown of muscle tissue and help to prevent the breakdown of glycogen during exercise. Lactoferrin is a powerful anti-microbial and free radical scavenging agent, thanks to its affinity/binding capacity with iron. Lastly, glycomacropeptides have the ability to stimulate cholecystokinin or CCK, a hormone that send satiety signals to the brain, helping to control and minimize hunger and therefore can support healthy weight loss. Put together, these fractions have huge and positive implications for immune health, skin, bone and muscle repair, weight loss, neurotransmitter function and more.
Quality
As there is a wide variety in the quality of different whey protein supplements, it is wise to do some label reading. Look for a whey that contains roughly 90% protein per serving. Compared to other sources of protein/protein supplements, whey contains a full range of amino acids and is very high in specific amino acids called branched chain amino acids. The benefit of these is that they do not need to be broken down by the body, and once ingested go straight to muscle. Leucine, iso-leucine and valine are the three branched chain amino acids found in high amounts in whey protein supplements.
How to Choose
Whey protein generally comes in three different forms; concentrate, isolate and hydrolysate (hydrolysed protein). Although they are usually slightly higher in price, whey protein isolates and hydrolysates are known as the purest and therefore most potent forms. These are highest in protein and bio availability, meaning the percentage of the substance that our bodies are actually able to use. These forms also tend to have a very low allergen potential. They are filtered to be virtually lactose, carbohydrate, fat and cholesterol free. Hydrolysates are the most filtered. This has enormous benefit for those who are lactose intolerant, or diabetic, as these sources, although high in protein, are very low on the glycemic index. It is worth looking for a high quality whey protein isolate or hydrolysate (or even better, a combination of all three forms) supplement, as they also generally have fewer, if any binders, fillers, artificial flavourings and sweeteners, an important aspect for those looking for the cleanest products. Again, read the label, so you know exactly what you are getting.
When to Supplement
There is some debate about the most optimal time to supplement with whey protein. The consensus seems to be that whey can be beneficial both before and after a work out, as well as first thing in the morning. If you are someone who works out, and only wants to supplement once a day, it is likely most beneficial to drink your protein shake post workout, anywhere from 30-60 minutes afterwards. Muscles are actively rebuilding and repairing at this time and whey can effectively enhance and speed up this process, especially one that is high in branched chain amino acids, meaning they are immediately put to work on the repairing the muscle.. If you are someone who is using whey for reasons outside of sport and exercise nutrition, I would recommend combining it with fruit and a milk of your choosing for breakfast. Whey protein first thing in the morning helps to replace stores depleted over night and can jump start an entire day of calorie burning, as protein requires more energy to digest than other food groups.
PROTEIN
Protein slows the rate at which sugar enters the body ...
Protein is second most abundant substance in our body, only water is more plentiful. Protein makes up our muscles, ligaments, tendons, organs, glands, nails, hair and body fluids. Bone growth is dependent on protein. The chemical messengers that coordinate our body's activities, hormones, and the chemicals that speed up physiological reactions, enzymes, are made of protein.
Our genetic material is the blueprint that instructs the cell how to produce the proteins that make life possible. Proteins are composed of amino acids, linked together by peptide bonds. When we eat protein the body must break these bonds in the digestive tract. Then single amino acids, or amino acids in short chains, are absorbed into the body, where they are reassembled into whatever substance the body needs.
Some amino acids can be manufactured in the body from other amino acids and are thus called non-essential. The amino acids that the body cannot produce and need to be taken in through the diet are called essential.
Protein powders can be used for many different health and performance enhancing purposes. Recently high protein diets have made protein a popular supplement for weight loss. Protein slows the rate at which sugar enters the body. By avoiding spikes in blood sugar protein minimizes the storage of sugar as fat. Individuals with blood sugar imbalances, like diabetes and hypoglycemia, will benefit from protein's regulation of blood sugar. Protein also builds muscle tissue, which burns more energy than other body tissue and can lead to weight loss.
Athletes, people who perform physical labour and anyone who is physically active requires protein to repair their tissue and build more lean tissue. People who are recovering from illness or long periods of inactivity require protein to rebuild their body tissue. The immune system is dependent on protein to make cells that protect our body. Frequent colds and flus and chronic infections are signs that the body may need more protein.
There are a large variety of readily available protein supplements and protein processing techniques. The five main supplemental sources are whey, egg, soy, rice and pea, although other seeds and legumes are occasionally used in some supplements. The quality of a protein is apparent in its price. Higher quality formulas use superior processing techniques, and avoid binders, fillers, artificial flavorings and sweeteners. How do you determine the appropriate protein for you?
Consider these factors:
Amino acid content Animal product protein powders (whey, egg) and soy protein powders contain a complete range of all the amino acids. Rice and pea protein are missing a few amino acids, like taurine.
Bioavailability or BV- It is a measure of a protein's ability to be used by the body and is stated as a percentage of the absorbed protein that your body actually uses. Whey protein isolate has the highest BV at 100-159, whey concentrate is next at 104, followed by whole egg (100), egg white (88), rice (74), soy and pea(59).
Protein manufacturing technique Whey protein isolates contain isolated amino acids that the body does not have to digest before absorbing them. These supplements tend to be costly but are easy for the body to use. Manufacturers claim that most individuals who have an inability to digest dairy products will be able to tolerate the amino acids found in isolate powders. Hydrolyzed supplements like whey concentrates are predigested make amino acid chains smaller. The body still has to digest some chains but it is absorbed more quickly and used more effectively by muscle. Egg, rice and pea protein are not usually altered by manufacturing techniques to make them more absorbable. Fermenting soy protein makes it easier to digest.
Protein supplements can be used daily for individuals who do not meet their protein requirement through food intake, for individuals who suffer from blood sugar fluctuations or for athletes who need to take in large amounts of protein. Protein supplements can also be used occasionally, when food is not readily available. Meal replacement protein supplements are strictly regulated by the government. They conform to regulations to ensure that the proper amount of vitamins and minerals are present in the formula. Choose a meal replacement that does not contain artificial sweeteners, colourings or flavours. The strategy behind using protein for optimal uptake into the muscles is a science unto its own. If you are interested in optimizing your athletic performance obtain more information about protein from reputable fitness sources.
Do not take high amounts of supplemental protein if you have impaired kidney function. High protein intake can deplete calcium from the bones. High protein intake and low fiber intake increases the risk of developing unhealthy bowel cells. Choose rice or pea protein if you are sensitive to dairy products, whey, egg and soy.
RECOMMENDED USE FOR MALES: As a dietary supplement, take 2 scoops (providing approx. 44 grams of protein) with 8-10 oz of cold water or any beverage of your choice. Use approximately 4-5 oz of liquid per 1 scoop of powder. Vary the amount of liquid to achieve your desired flavor and consistency.

They are filtered to be virtually lactose, carbohydrate, fat and cholesterol free. Hydrolysates are the most filtered. This has enormous benefit for those who are lactose intolerant, or diabetic, as these sources, although high in protein, are very low on the glycemic index. It is worth looking for a high quality whey protein isolate or hydrolysate (or even better, a combination of all three forms) supplement, as they also generally have fewer, if any binders, fillers, artificial flavourings and sweeteners, an important aspect for those looking for the cleanest products. Again, read the label, so you know exactly what you are getting.
When to Supplement
There is some debate about the most optimal time to supplement with whey protein. The consensus seems to be that whey can be beneficial both before and after a work out, as well as first thing in the morning. If you are someone who works out, and only wants to supplement once a day, it is likely most beneficial to drink your protein shake post workout, anywhere from 30-60 minutes afterwards. Muscles are actively rebuilding and repairing at this time and whey can effectively enhance and speed up this process, especially one that is high in branched chain amino acids, meaning they are immediately put to work on the repairing the muscle.. If you are someone who is using whey for reasons outside of sport and exercise nutrition, I would recommend combining it with fruit and a milk of your choosing for breakfast. Whey protein first thing in the morning helps to replace stores depleted over night and can jump start an entire day of calorie burning, as protein requires more energy to digest than other food groups.
PROTEIN
Protein slows the rate at which sugar enters the body ...
Protein is second most abundant substance in our body, only water is more plentiful. Protein makes up our muscles, ligaments, tendons, organs, glands, nails, hair and body fluids. Bone growth is dependent on protein. The chemical messengers that coordinate our body's activities, hormones, and the chemicals that speed up physiological reactions, enzymes, are made of protein.
Our genetic material is the blueprint that instructs the cell how to produce the proteins that make life possible. Proteins are composed of amino acids, linked together by peptide bonds. When we eat protein the body must break these bonds in the digestive tract. Then single amino acids, or amino acids in short chains, are absorbed into the body, where they are reassembled into whatever substance the body needs.
Some amino acids can be manufactured in the body from other amino acids and are thus called non-essential. The amino acids that the body cannot produce and need to be taken in through the diet are called essential.
Protein powders can be used for many different health and performance enhancing purposes. Recently high protein diets have made protein a popular supplement for weight loss. Protein slows the rate at which sugar enters the body. By avoiding spikes in blood sugar protein minimizes the storage of sugar as fat. Individuals with blood sugar imbalances, like diabetes and hypoglycemia, will benefit from protein's regulation of blood sugar. Protein also builds muscle tissue, which burns more energy than other body tissue and can lead to weight loss.
Athletes, people who perform physical labour and anyone who is physically active requires protein to repair their tissue and build more lean tissue. People who are recovering from illness or long periods of inactivity require protein to rebuild their body tissue. The immune system is dependent on protein to make cells that protect our body. Frequent colds and flus and chronic infections are signs that the body may need more protein.
There are a large variety of readily available protein supplements and protein processing techniques. The five main supplemental sources are whey, egg, soy, rice and pea, although other seeds and legumes are occasionally used in some supplements. The quality of a protein is apparent in its price. Higher quality formulas use superior processing techniques, and avoid binders, fillers, artificial flavorings and sweeteners. How do you determine the appropriate protein for you?
Consider these factors:
Amino acid content Animal product protein powders (whey, egg) and soy protein powders contain a complete range of all the amino acids. Rice and pea protein are missing a few amino acids, like taurine.
Bioavailability or BV- It is a measure of a protein's ability to be used by the body and is stated as a percentage of the absorbed protein that your body actually uses. Whey protein isolate has the highest BV at 100-159, whey concentrate is next at 104, followed by whole egg (100), egg white (88), rice (74), soy and pea(59).
Protein manufacturing technique Whey protein isolates contain isolated amino acids that the body does not have to digest before absorbing them. These supplements tend to be costly but are easy for the body to use. Manufacturers claim that most individuals who have an inability to digest dairy products will be able to tolerate the amino acids found in isolate powders. Hydrolyzed supplements like whey concentrates are predigested make amino acid chains smaller. The body still has to digest some chains but it is absorbed more quickly and used more effectively by muscle. Egg, rice and pea protein are not usually altered by manufacturing techniques to make them more absorbable. Fermenting soy protein makes it easier to digest.
Protein supplements can be used daily for individuals who do not meet their protein requirement through food intake, for individuals who suffer from blood sugar fluctuations or for athletes who need to take in large amounts of protein. Protein supplements can also be used occasionally, when food is not readily available. Meal replacement protein supplements are strictly regulated by the government. They conform to regulations to ensure that the proper amount of vitamins and minerals are present in the formula. Choose a meal replacement that does not contain artificial sweeteners, colourings or flavours. The strategy behind using protein for optimal uptake into the muscles is a science unto its own. If you are interested in optimizing your athletic performance obtain more information about protein from reputable fitness sources.
Do not take high amounts of supplemental protein if you have impaired kidney function. High protein intake can deplete calcium from the bones. High protein intake and low fiber intake increases the risk of developing unhealthy bowel cells. Choose rice or pea protein if you are sensitive to dairy products, whey, egg and soy.
