So I stopped using whey protein for a few weeks. I noticed a decline in energy. Also noticed anincreased need to sleep. Plus the sleep I was getting wasn't that great.
This is just me living my normal life. I also work out and eat healthy too. Incorporated whey protein back into my diet and I noticed some changes. My energy levels Rose. My sleep improved. And my voice got a little bit deeper.
I did some research. I found out there were 19 naturally occurring amino acids in this whey protein. Amino acids will Directly increase testosterone.
One of those amino acids is tryptophan. Tryptophan converts to melatonin and serotonin. And those two hormones help you sleep better. Better sleep increases testosterone. That's a way that whey in-directly increases testosterone.
I was taught to stay away from milk. I have heard that Milk has estrogen in it and it will decrease your testosterone. But my research suggests that the fat in the milk decreases testosterone. And the Fat is what has the estrogen in it. So if you get low-fat or nonfat milk, the pros outweigh the cons.
Lastly, I did another experiment. I didn't get whey protein for one day. Instead, I bought low fat milk protein shakes from a gas station. Milk protein is 20% whey and 80% casein. I noticed a similar effect to the whey protein shakes. Not as much but it was Noticeable.
To end things off, it seems that low and nonfat milk is a great source of amino acids. And can also help you get better sleep and help with insomnia. So What are your thoughts on this?
