Proteins are a nutrient that we take daily in our diet and whose basic unit are the amino acids. Some of these amino acids are “essential”, which means that they can only be obtained through the diet (the body does not manufacture them).
Within our body, amino acids are not only present in the muscles, but they have many more functions. Some of the main ones are:
- Balance the balance of hormones.
- Generate antibodies.
- Transport oxygen, forming part of red blood cells.
- The formation of collagen.
- The healing of wounds.
- And a long etc.
In addition, proteins can be a source of energy for the body, especially in those people who follow low-carbohydrate diets.
When choosing between water or milk, you should keep in mind that milk contains proteins, carbohydrates and fat. That’s why a milkshake with milk will have more calories than a milkshake with water. In addition, water allows the absorption of protein faster and more efficiently than milk.
Another thing that you should take into account is the presence of lactose which, obviously, is less or almost non-existent in smoothies with water.
Fortunately, Evotion Pro protein powders have an excellent dissolution not only in milk, but also in water.
The main difference between WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE, CASEIN COMPLEX and WHEY PROTEIN MIX is the speed of absorption of their proteins. But in addition, these 3 products differ from each other by their amino acid profile.
- WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE is formulated with whey protein isolate from milk, which is considered a fast-absorbing protein. Whey protein has a higher amount of the amino acid leucine and therefore favors the synthesis of muscle protein.
- CASEIN COMPLEX, however, has as its base protein the casein from milk, which is a slow-absorbing protein. Casein has an amino acid profile that makes it ideal when we want to slow down the degradation and destruction of muscle mass, which is known as catabolism.
- WHEY PROTEIN MIX is a combination of whey protein isolate and whey protein concentrate and has characteristics of asi
- WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE is a type of protein that is characterized by its easy assimilation and absorption speed. It is ideal to take during or after sports practice.
- CASEIN COMPLEX is a type of protein with slower assimilation than whey protein isolate. It is recommended to take it when we are going to be a prolonged period of time without eating food, for example, before going to bed.
- MIX PROTEIN is a mixture of proteins with different types of assimilation and release into the blood. It can be taken at any time of the day or as a supplement to food.
- VEGAN PROTEIN is a protein with an average assimilation rate and that can also be taken at any time of the day.
The choice of protein type depends on your personal, nutritional or sporting goals and whether you are lactose intolerant.
Both WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE and WHEY PROTEIN MIX contain similar amounts of protein. However, WHEY PROTEIN MIX, being a blend of whey isolate and whey concentrate, has a higher lactose content.
WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE protein, on the other hand, is obtained by an additional filtration process that purifies it from the rest of the whey components, and therefore has a negligible lactose concentration. Therefore, in case of lactose intolerance, it is better to opt for WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE.
If you are lactose intolerant and are looking for a dairy protein, WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE is your choice. However, another excellent alternative for people with lactose intolerance is VEGAN PROTEIN.
But you should be aware that both WHEY PROTIEN ISOLATE and VEGAN PROTEIN may contain traces of lactose, which is not usually a problem unless you are highly lactose-sensitive.
VEGAN PROTEIN is an excellent alternative for people with sensitive digestions.
The amount of protein needed varies depending on factors such as age, gender, and lifestyle.
The WHO recommends taking between 0.8 and 1 gram of protein per kg of body weight and per day. However, the indicated consumption for athletes is between 1.5 and 2.5 g per kg per day, because their protein demand is much higher than that of a person without physical activity.
