Protein blends provide a timed-release effect when combining proteins that digest at a faster or slower rate.
- Whey protein digests fast, is high quality and is ideal for building muscle and immunity.
- Milk (casein protein) is slow digesting and delivers amino acids to your muscles over a longer period of time, helping prevent muscle breakdown.
- Egg white protein (egg albumen) is medium digesting and has an excellent amino acid profile.
- Soy protein is a vegetarian source of protein that may help reduce heart disease, is rich in phytoestrogens, but is not as good as whey, milk or egg for building muscle.
Whey, milk, egg and soy protein each offer varying advantages based on your needs.
