There is actual credible scientific research that suggests that when you take whey or other quickly - digesting protein before a workout, you maximize
your protein synthesis process, Also, whey has some peptides which are little pieces of protein, that increase the blood flow to your muscle tissue, which will in turn boost the nutrient and hormone delivery to your muscle tissue while you workout, and it will also increase your muscle pump!
BCAA's help stop the breakdown of muscle tissue and they start
the protein synthesis process.
Make sure you always eat equal portions of protein so that
your protein synthesis processes get optimized.
For years, the bodybuilding, protein - gorging community has maligned collagen for its inessentiality and lack of input into the muscle -
protein synthesis process.
Whey is also rich in the amino acid leucine, which is the only amino acid capable of switching on
the protein synthesis process, thus allowing for the repair and growth of muscle tissue.
Simply put, leucine not only provides the building blocks for protein synthesis, it also controls the bio-chemical processes that run
the protein synthesis processes.
Creating an anabolic environment within your body starts with
this protein synthesis process.
