Answers:
The best protein is whey as you're taking, as mentioned above it's the fastest uptake protein!. What's desirable about this immediately after a workout is you want to get your body out of catabolism and into anabolism as quickly as possible, and speed recovery!. You also want to have some sort of carb along with the protein as this causes an insulin spike, which is good since muscle are highly insulin sensitive after a workout!.

In order to extend anabolism after a workout and counter the "fast uptake" properties of whey, about an hour after your post workout shake have a whole food meal balanced in all the macronutrients!. You're correct about whey breaking down quickly and doing this solves that problem!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

they are different types of proteins in the market whey protein isolane is the most fast absorbing form and whey protein concentrates are slow releasing!. A few companies to have proteins that are time released such a BSN SYTHA-6 and MHP PROBOLIC-SR and your welcome Www@Answer-Health@Com

Whey protein is the most easily assimilated form of protein!. Quicker assimilation means it gets to your muscles quicker!. That's what you want!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
