Thread: Milk Protein Isolate - NEW!

I was hoping they would have it in bulk, but that is a good price, IMO.

Is that better than whey or better than most of the stuff out there? Just wondering because I need to order some protien and Im not really sure what to get. I heard good things about optimum nutritions 100% whey and it was cheap so I thought that would be my best bet. If theres something better though thats cheap Id love to hear it. Thanks

Optimum Nutrition 100% whey is great. The chocolate is the best, IMO. Vanilla is OK. Bulknutrition.com has good deals on the 5 and 10 pounders. Perfect for post-workout. Milk Isolate isn't as tasty and doesn't mix as well. However, it good to drink before going to bed, as it will digest slower and your body will receive a more steady supply of amino acids throughout the night.

Right, milk protein isolate contains whey and casein so it will absorb slower and is better used at different times than whey, like before bed.

yes, I would also assume that.

Would it be a good idea to use Whey Isolate and this new Milk Isolate. One Post workout another before bed ... or is it too much protein? And by the way, is Isolte indeed better then standard protein powders? And why?... Or does it depend on goals an/or circumstances?

Whey is great when you need a fast infusion of aminos, e.g. breakfast and postworkout. MPI is 80% casein/20% whey so it's great to have during the day and prior to bed as it offers a sustained release of protein.

Personally I have whey at breakfast and post workout, MPI during the day and micellar casein prior to bed.

So you have 4 shakes a day? Do you at times feel that this much of synthetic shakes, interfere with your apetite for natural foods? Or never happened? Is 4 shakes/day not too much?

And also Whey = fast infusion of protein. How fast? Are the amino acids delivered within say 10 to 20 minutes or more like an hour to 2?

What does Isolate stand for?

Thank you for all the help

I workout 3 days a week so I generally have 2-3 shakes per day, one more on workout days. This is probably more than I should have but I'm usually time crunched and it's the most convenient source of protein.

Regarding whey I'm not sure of the precise timing but I assume it's 20-30 minutes for digestion. Somebody like LAM will probably be able to tell you more.

whey protein concentrates typically have a content of about 25% BCAA's depending on the concentration of lactoglubolins in it. BCAA's reach the bloodstream in about 20 minutes since they do not have to be digested, and are also directly metabolized by skeletal muscle.

the isolate means that the protein has been isolated. all of the lactose, ash, impurities, etc. have been removed making a higher ratio of protein per serving. for example 28 grams of a whey protein concentrate may yield 22 grams of protein whille 28 grams of whey protein isolate may yield 24 grams of protein. you pay more for a WPI over a WPC for that reason.

regarding your question about the number of shakes per day. do not look at protein supplements as being synthetic because they are not. all protein powders are manufactured from dairy products, they are not made in a lab.

I say use enough protein supplements as it takes to get in the amount of protein that you need. if you have a big appetite you might not need to use as much. others like me don't have a big appetite so I get 50% of my daily protein intake from protein supplements..

Lam. POint taken . Thanks a bunch. What are BCAAs again?
