When it comes to deciding which protein to supplement, we all get a bit confused at first. It's normal, there are so many different types of proteinwith different names, different assimilations, from different sources.
It is quite normal in my job to hear the same question at least once or twice a day: "...".what's the difference between whey and isolate"? "i want a 'whey' brand protein". I think there is a lot of misinformation, as well as misinformation, circulating in gyms.
First of all, the difference between whey and isolate:
Among the different types of protein, two of the most popular are whey and isolate, but what is the difference between them?
- Whey: no es una marca, whey significa en inglés buttermilktherefore all brands will put whey in because that is their raw material and their main component.
- Isolate, concentrate, hydrolysate: Todas son whey protein (proteina de suero de leche). Estos términos se refieren (lo digo de una manera muy simple y nada técnica quizás, pero para entendernos) a la manera en la que se haobtenido/fabricado esa proteína.
Differences in assimilation
But there are differences in assimilation, the speed at which protein "enters" your muscles, and the percentage of protein varies:
- Whey concentrate such as the Gold Whey (ultrafiltrated protein) rapid assimilation, approximately 75 - 80% of protein
- Whey isolatesuch as the Isolate Whey 100CFM Even faster assimilation than the previous one, 90% of protein
- Serum concentrate + isolatein this case they mix several types of whey protein (obtained in different ways) and combine them in a single supplement such as the Super Nitro Whey Victory or the Premium Whey. What we obtain here is an equally fast assimilation product with a more complete aminogram because it has a mixture of both types of whey.
But what kind of protein should I take after training?
My answer is that all types of protein are equally effective and good for your recovery and muscle building.
En todo caso, las que son aisladas (también llamadas isolatadas, isoladas o CFM) son ideales para época de definición, dieta o precompetición porque contienen más proteínas, menos azúcares y grasas (prácticamente cero).
Equally, I also believe, and I have personally tested it, that you can get the same pre-competition definition result by taking a good protein concentrate or a mix of both. Because the key is in the nutrition.
Weider always guarantees you the best results whatever protein you choose, even Weider's vegan protein. Vegan Protein (slower assimilation) gives you excellent results when taken after training.
Conclusion:
- Whey concentrateafter training for maintenance, recovery
- Whey isolateafter training, definition
- Serum concentrate + isolatein both cases
My advice: Vary, try different classes according to your needs.
