Whey protein is a must-have nutritional supplement for every bodybuilder, and it is also everyone’s best friend! Are you sure you really understand and how to use whey protein powder? I believe that many friends’ answers are not very sure.
Some information from the International Whey Symposium held in Chicago recently talked about the benefits of whey protein! Share it with everyone!
Whey has many hidden benefits that are not yet known:
1. Optimize your muscle congestion
The latest research proves that consuming about 35 grams of whey protein 20 minutes before training can promote the growth of lean muscle tissue. This extra whey protein increases nitrogen supply by 162%. In a 6-week experiment, athletes who supplemented with whey protein powder before training gained three times more lean muscle tissue than other athletes. Furthermore, whey protein creates a stronger positive nitrogen balance than free amino acids.
2. Whey and muscle synthesis
For building muscle, whey is the best choice. Whey increases the sensitivity of your muscles to insulin, the body's most synthetic hormone. A university study proved that after conducting blood tests on 324 athletes, they found that after taking whey protein for 28 days, their insulin synthesis sensitivity increased by 48.1%.
3. Accelerate musclesRestore
Whey supplementation after training is important to speed muscle recovery. Supplementing 25 grams of whey protein isolate every day after training can help trainers improve strength and explosive power while reducing muscle soreness.
4. Enhance fat burning
Research from the University of Tennessee shows whey is the best protein during fat loss. Whey contains a special molecule that helps ACE prevent fat gain and protect muscles to support more fat burning. Good results can be obtained by taking 25 grams of whey protein three times a day or 40 grams of whey protein twice a day.
5. Improve immunity
Whey was shown to improve immune response 20 years ago. The latest research has found that lactoferrin, a component of whey protein, can improve immunity by 800% within 7 days! Some brands of whey protein powder contain 1.8 grams of lactoferrin per scoop.
6. Activate antioxidant properties
New research shows that taking 40 grams of whey protein daily can help improve selenium status and glutathione activity. This is meant to help you deal with stress, such as hard training and busy daily life. In 1997, Case Western University laboratory research showed that whey protein can reduce tumor growth by 60%.
