Common Questions and Answers about Best protein powders on the market

protein

Avatar f tn There are a lot of good protein powders on the market that are not meant for "muscle building", but protein is the building block for muscle and muscle burns fat. Exercise also helps build muscle, but if you do the right ones, you won't "bulk up". I often use, both, Greek yogurt and protein powder in my smoothies. The yogurt gives you and extra amount of protein, plus calcium, vitamin B12, etc.
19024797 tn?1471291132 can I take collagen peptides or whey protein shakes in the morning after I've waited an hour of taking my levothyroxin and cytomel? does the amino acids interfere with these medications? Also, can the cytomel cause bloat/gas issues? Thanks!
Avatar f tn But there are a lot of options for protein powders, even vegan protein powders, and some of them are really tasty, so they are good options.
Avatar f tn Muscle building and high intensity workouts are not advised while pregnant, which would be the only reason for taking it... also all that protein can pit stress on your kidneys which are already working overtime.
Avatar f tn I would assume that a gastric bypass will radically alter your digestive system, so I don't think any of us can tell you if you can even assimilate a protein supplement. Generally, if you had a normal digestive system, almost nobody actually needs to take a protein supplement in the developed world -- the problem there is too much protein, not too little.
973741 tn?1342342773 (And there are so many protein powders that 134 is only a tiny fraction of what is currently on the market). I actually use Gatorade Protein Powder now, but that does not mean it is safe or healthy. And, I have no idea if there are contaminants in it, hence I'm thinking about cutting back (or working towards eliminating?).
Avatar n tn re never long lasting enough, and so safety problems usually only come out after the drug has been on the market for awhile. Most herbs, on the other hand, have thousands of years of historical use. It's when people use newer products that really aren't natural at all that problems occur. The father of modern medicine, Hypocrates, was an herbalist.
Avatar f tn There are many such powders available in the market which claim that they can help in weight loss.Slimquick powder manufacturers claim to reduce food cravings, maintain hormone balance, cause appetite suppression and inhibit water retention and slow metabolism with its use .It is also fortified with nutrients like folic acid,calcium,vitamin K and vitamin D.
Avatar f tn Before I was pregnant I was on Herbalife nutrition products. I stop using the product by now I'm 27 weeks and thinking starting back i miss my meal replacement shakes. Any thoughts?
Avatar m tn To answer your questions, you can eat regular food to get the protein you need without using the supplements. Eggs and milkshakes (with skim milk) give you additional protein as the same as the protein shakes. The recommended dosage of protein is 1g per kg of weight. Body builders state that you need to build muscle that is why you need the protein. You will need a little extra but not double your weight. Too much consummation of protein and if the body does not use it, it will store it as fat.
593623 tn?1220805866 It may be helpful to eat 5-6 smaller meals rather than the traditional 3 meals per day. You may want to try protein powders and nutritional supplements (like Ensure) to provide you with extra calories. Mixing the protein powders with milk or juice will add some additional calories and may improve the taste. A multivitamin and mineral supplement may also be benefitical (check with your parents or doctor for an appropriate one).
Avatar m tn   I highly recommend you read this article and watch the videos on the page. It will give you all the information you need to know about Peak 8 – Flood Your Body With This “Youth Hormone” In Just 20 Minutes  What you eat after Peak 8 training does matter  It’s recommended that you do not eat sugar or carbohydrate for 2 hours after the Peak 8 exercise because these foods can impact the release of the growth hormone in the body.

Avatar f tn Yea I'd try to avoid the protein powder and get the protein I need from the food I eat. I'm a vegetarian so I get my protein from tofu and other foods made from soy, beans, nuts, and dairy products. You don't know all the ingredients in the protein powder so I'd ask my doctor about it.
Avatar m tn re good for the liver. As to whether you need a protein supplement, no. You should get all the protein you need from your diet, unless you're a vegetarian, in which case you might need to supplement methionine. But if you want bigger muscles than just working out will get you, then yes, you might need supplementation to exceed what your body can naturally achieve by diet and exercise alone.
14652685 tn?1435693430 If you're under a doctor's care and have a specialist and have a specific disease condition, the experts on this would be nutritionists. I say this because you don't mention the name of your disorder or what the doctors recommend, and without knowing what's going on, we can't know what you're able to digest. Perhaps if you tell us more about what exactly is going on it would help.
Avatar n tn I was having problems with morning sickness and was having to set my alarm to get up and eat peanut butter and crackers mid point during the night to prevent the vomiting in the morning. I thought the protein would help me before bed each night and I bought one that said "not intended for pregnant or nursing women" on the back. I'm not sure if there are any on the market that are safe...I may have just happened to buy one that wasn't. Good luck to you...
Avatar m tn I am 50 years, male, with episodes of tachycardia of unknown cause. Therefore the worry about the supplement. Weight training seems to worsen the tachycardia. I was wondering if supplements would strengthen the heart, or harm it.
Avatar f tn As to the above, good advice, but again, I'd avoid the dairy options for the reasons stated. As to the arsenic, lead and mercury, you don't know if the peanut butter or any other food you're using has it, either -- after all, these things are in the environment so they're in the water and soil. If you buy organic it's about the best you can do.
Avatar m tn t any more quickly assimilated than any other protein, in fact considering that most adult humans lack the enzyme to digest dairy, it could be slower. It depends on what the digestive system likes the best. It also depends on the quality of the supplement. Casein, being the protein in whey and other dairy, is unlikely to be any slower or better absorbed than any other dairy protein.
5276842 tn?1365878296 I am considering cutting out gluten again as this is the easiest to cut out for now as I also weightlift and use protein powders and eggs for protein. I struggle to get enough protein as it is and have a stock of powders i cannot afford to replace with dairy free options. Any advice you can offer me on relieving symptoms would be great. Currently the only medication I take are amytriptilline 20mg for the fibro, lansoprazole for oesophagitis and macrogol for constipation.
Avatar f tn Weight gainers are typically higher in protein than whey protein supplements. However, the protein content comprises a significantly larger percentage of whey protein supplements than weight gainers. A lower-calorie weight gainer may contain 35 grams of protein, while a higher-calorie weight gainer may supply 100 grams of protein. However, given calorie amounts of 620 and 1,860, the protein comprises just 22.5 and 21.5 percent of the calories in these gainers.
Avatar n tn one good thing you can start out on is whey protein shakes you can pick it up at walmart thet cary 2 different kinds one is 15 bucks and you can mix it with a spoon the other containd more stuff but requires a blender to mix it both work it only 15 bucks for one and 20bucks for the other both have the essential amino acids vitamins as well as the protein all of witch the brain needs to heal this will also give you some badly need calories will your detoxing...
