The 3 proteins to maximize muscle mass gain |
Protein consumption is often associated with training and also muscle hypertrophy (mass gain).
You must have seen large boilers with the words "whey", "isolate", or "casein" with a hyper-muscular guy on the label.
It is true that the metabolism of proteins is important, even primordial, for muscle mass gain.
Whey
Whey is the "liquid remaining after milk coagulation, which is free of casein but still contains lactalbumin, lactoglobulin, lactose and mineral salts" (Dictionnaire de médecine, 1975; Termium, 2003).
"Whey is a by-product of the cheese and casein industries. Its composition and its physico-chemical characteristics vary according to the process from which it originates "(Biofutur: The European Monthly on Biotechnology, 1982, Termium, 2003).
The three most popular products available on the market in the form of powders are concentrate, isolate and milk protein hydrolyzate (or whey).
Whey protein concentrate (WPC) is the most widely used form of whey protein concentrate. The whey concentrate is metabolized rapidly and contains a few carbohydrates (lactose) and lipids.
Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) is composed of approximately 90% protein and contains no carbohydrates and lipids. Isolation is a "substance that is isolated" (Antidote, 2016).
Whey protein hydrolysate (WPH) - whey hydrolysate - is the purest form of whey. Hydrolysis is the product of hydrolysis, ie chemical decomposition by water. Whey hydrolysate is the most sought-after product by bodybuilders, but also the most expensive.
Casein
Casein is a "protein substance that constitutes most of the nitrogenous matter in milk" (OQLF, 1987).
In order to have a better amino acid intake and to optimize the protein synthesis, casein is ideal before bedtime or before a nap during the day.
It can also be mixed with the whey of your shake that you consume as a post-workout snack.
There are also supplements that include highly refined micellar casein, which is rapidly metabolized.
Egg white
Egg white is also a very popular source of liquid protein because of its accessibility and its relatively low cost.
Egg white digests more slowly than whey, but faster than casein.
A trick for your shake: you can mix egg white, whey, and casein. Thus, you have the three types of proteins that metabolize at different speeds. A complete shake.
Egg whites are available in grocery stores, already prepared.
Other Options
There are also supplements containing beef and soy proteins (in powders) for people who have a milk allergy or lactose intolerance, for example.
Conclusion
Many people are refractory to food supplementation to maximize gains. However, this is a choice and I think getting informed is the first step before making a choice.
Also, we must be vigilant with regard to the promotion of products. Never rely on company advertisements or slogans on the packaging to judge the safety and effectiveness of a supplement.
