If you are looking for the best protein shake to compliment your muscle building workout, there are a few things you should know. In order to gain muscle you need to eat over 200 grams of protein daily. Eating this amount of protein with regular food sources, just isn't going to be possible. Therefore you need to find a protein shake to help you consume a large amount of protein fast, without all the extras that come with other foods. Also, eating lots of food to get the amount of protein needed, costs more than buying a protein shake for daily use.
The building blocks that construct protein are called amino acids. These amino acids are needed to maintain and build healthy muscle, but this only works in combination with exercise and a nutritious diet. A few other things that protein is responsible for is supporting the production of red blood cells, strengthening the immune system, and maintaining, fingernails, healthy skin and hair.
Muscle Protein Shakes
When deciding on a protein powder make sure that it does not contain high levels of artificial color, fructose, saccharin or aspartame. Better quality protein powder shakes are the ones made with natural ingredients, or the ones that don't have long chemical names. The healthy variety of a protein shake may not be as tasty as a mix that contains fructose, but you should be willing to sacrifice the taste for efficiency.
There are several calculators available online which will help you to figure out how much protein you will need daily. As with any exercise change, consult your physician for the proper amount of protein that works with your body and situation. Protein must be ingested several times during the day rather than a large amount all at once.
Different types of protein include:
Whey Protein - This is made from coagulated milk and is said to contain anti-inflammatory and possibly even anti-cancer property.
Casein Protein - "Casein" comes from the Latin word for cheese.
Soy Protein - This is a non-diary form of protein and therefore agreeable to those who have diary allergies or are lactose intolerant.
Protein Blends - This is the best type of protein powder for the building of muscle as well as recovering from an extreme workout.
In conclusion, never rely solely on a protein shake to sustain you during your muscle building workouts. Make sure that the protein shake is made with natural ingredients, so that your protein shake does the best for your body just as you intent your workout to do.
