Announcement Thread:
I'm not intending this as an advertisement for our product, but let's just call this a pseudo-coop's corner. I think everyone can benefit from reading this writeup. Click on the references (in the brackets) and check out each source, then hit me with questions as you have them.
The bottom line is that all proteins are not necessarily created equal, and a lot of this is very recent data (past year or two).
PES select
Cliffs:
-Blend > whey or casein alone
-The international protein conference deemed a 50/50 whey/casein blend (as in Select Protein) the optimal combination for building LBM
-Milk protein isolate is the best protein source for LBM gain
-The quality of whey can vary greatly, with WPC80 being the gold standard
-The leucine content of a meal largely determines the muscle protein synthesis response. Adding leucine to protein to hit the threshold leucine dose is of great value, especially when the leucine is peptide-bound to more closely match the kinetics of the protein itself
-And one that surprised me: whey is incredibly insulinogenic...moreso than sugars and other "bad" foods that people avoid like the plague. This insulin response is mitigated tremendously by consuming a blend
