Importance of Whey and Casein Protein-00-5554

By: Ki Daus

For years you are recommended to consume whey protein before and after exercise because of the whey protein absorption is very fast. No other protein source that can match the speed of absorption of whey protein in the body. Research shows that the process of absorption of whey proteins stimulates muscle growth more quickly than other protein sources. So when you want to muscle formation process begins when you finish training, whey protein is the best protein choice.

Then there is the so-called casein. Milk protein consists of 20% whey protein and 80% protein casein. Casein protein in the stomach turns into a solid form when digested. Therefore, casein digestion process in the body becomes very low and slow so that the casein is useful to prevent the muscle contraction process is better than whey protein.

Because the process of muscle growth is a balance of protein synthesis or the formation of catabolic processes and destruction of muscle, then increased the number of muscle-forming substances, and reduce or prevent muscle destruction process would cause significant muscle growth. Therefore, we recommend that you consume both whey and casein protein in your diet.

Research indicates that casein may be useful to be consumed during exercise. Research at the University of Texas Medical Branch found that when people were given 20 grams of whey or casein after lifting weights, both of the supplements can increase protein synthesis with the same average. But do not jump to conclusion that these two proteins have the same effect. Research indicates that only whey protein that can quickly raise the level of insulin (anabolic hormone that can increase your muscle quickly).

The best way is to replace the portion of your whey in half with casein, because both these proteins have a mutually beneficial effect with each other in the process of muscle formation. Research from Baylor University found that people who consume a mix of whey and casein in an hour after lifting weights for 10 weeks had an increase in muscle mass significantly than those who only drink whey protein only.

So, take advantage of these two types of protein. Drink about 10 grams of whey-casein protein before exercise and 20 grams of a mixture of whey protein-casein after exercise for maximum results. Another option is to find the product that contains a mixture of whey protein and casein.
