Magnesium is one of the most important mineral because it is needed for over 350 different processes in your

Other studies have shown that soy protein is less effective for
body builders than whey protein because its amino acids are more likely to go into splanchnic circulation (stomach, small intestines, colon, liver, pancreas and spleen) than into peripheral regions such as
muscle tissues.4, 5 This makes sense because whey protein provides greater amounts of the branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, isoleucine and valine as well as more methionine and lysine, all of which are critically needed for
muscle building.6 - 9 Researchers have also found the low BCAA content of soy protein adversely affects
muscle building by disrupting both leucine signaling10 and the
activation of myogenic translation initiation factors.
