Proteins

Protein supplements are the most important nutrient for anyone on a training program so investing in a quality protein powder is essential. Protein choices include: Whey Protein, Milk or casein protein, Egg Protein, Protein Blends (combining whey, egg, milk and other proteins in one product) Whey Blends (combining different types of whey protein such as whey concentrate, whey isolate, and whey hydrolysate). Generally speaking, it is best to have whey protein shakes before and after training (if no other pre or post workout supplements featuring protein are used) and to use casein protein or casein/whey blends at other times. This is because whey protein is best used when fast absorption is required and a casein product or blended product is best when sustained release of protein is the major priority.
