Question:
What's protein powder??? Is it like dried milk??
just wondering!:D
Answers:
If depends on the brand of protein powder.
Dried milk, whey and soy are the most common ingredients.
* Whey protein is the most commonly used type of protein. It contains high levels of all the essential amino acids not produced by the human body, and is absorbed by the body very quickly.
* Casein protein is the richest in glutamine, an amino acid that aids in recovery, and has casomorphin which helps the body to absorb the amino acids over a long time.
* Soy protein contains all essential amino acids, and is an alternative protein for vegetarians. However, soybeans contain a type of phytoestrogen called isoflavones which have a weak estrogenic activity.
* Egg white protein is a lactose- and dairy-free protein.
Some protein powders may be enhanced with vitamins, minerals, essential oils, fiber, or other substances.
All the best.
