So many types of Protein - Which one should I take?
“SO MANY TYPES OF PROTEIN 😫
Which one should I take?”
I know it can be confusing, so here’s a rundown of my favourite brand MusclePharm & the MusclePharm Combat proteins they offer! 💛
_____
#PROTEIN - No matter your goals, you NEED it! And many of us don’t get enough through food 🍕 (which leads to burning muscle instead of body-fat when working out), so taking it in supplement form helps to #COMBAT that possible effect!
I have always used @musclepharm because I tend to get sore stomachs, bloating & digestion issues from protein supplements of many other brands, 😳 and MusclePharm Combat "Isolate" was recommended to me as one of the most trustworthy/scientific & clean protein powders out there!
I ended up sticking with MP Isolate for a long time because I had not a single issue with it, and with an extra protein supplement in my diet I started better holding onto muscle and shredding body fat!
In saying this though, thanks to @muscle.x working with me I have now managed to try the entire @mpcombat range, and my stomach handles them all! 🥰 To see how I reacted, I slowly introduced the different MP protein types into my diet, and usually mix the majority into my oats (which I usually have for breakfast and/or after a train)! 👊
You see, different protein types have different releasing properties due to their chemical make ups, 🤓🧪 so each protein absorbs slightly differently into your system. 👉 If you’re super serious, it can be helpful to know when taking each type would be most beneficial to you, but don’t worry too much if you are just starting out.
Taking protein at ANYTIME (as long as you are getting enough to align with your lifestyle each day) is good enough. 💛 Unsure how much you need? Book a one off appointment with a Nutritionist, and have a chat! My recommendation would be the team at Jake Campus Nutrition who have always looked after me.
SO... WHICH ONE SHOULD I TAKE?
MUSCLEPHARM 100% WHEY ⚫️
This is the protein for everyone, no matter what your goals or daily lifestyle! GLUTEN FREE, with 25 grams of high-quality protein and low in carbs, fats, sugars! It has minimal undesirable ingredients too. Scientific research has built the creation of this protein, and it contains two of the most efficient, quickest releasing and cleanest protein sources available. 💁♀️ Fast Releasing protein basically supplies the muscle quicker with the nutrients it needs to start protein synthesis (which helps recovery, generates muscle building & assists maintenance instead of breakdown).
MUSCLEPHARM COMBAT 100% ISOLATE ⚫️
IBS? Gut issues? Sore stomachs? This used to be the only protein my tummy could handle. 24 Grams of Fast Digesting Protein (fast digesting protein encourages protein synthesis/muscle growth and repair etc.). Combat Isolate is one of the cleanest and highest quality forms of protein, because it has zero fats, sugars, carbs, gluten and lactose. 🙆♀️ Ultra-fast absorbing protein is used most effectively as a POST WORKOUT shake, as it quickly helps to work against muscle breakdown and soreness and increases muscle growth.
MUSCLEPHARM COMBAT PROTEIN POWDER ⚫️
This protein is a MIXTURE, of a variety of different protein types. 🙋♀️All the protein types included in this tub have varying digestion rates (slow/med/fast releasing) to aid in fuelling your body for longer. It basically includes a variation of sources (including whey concentrate, hydrolysate, isolate, egg albumin and micellar casein) to create the best environment possible to assist your body in utilising protein in the most effective way possible.
