Proteins for the win – why is protein powder so important?
First things first: proteins are the building blocks of your muscles and are therefore absolutely essential for everyone – especially ambitious athletes. Why is that?
- Muscle support:Proteins are essential for building and maintaining your muscles. 1
- Saturation:Eating protein-rich meals and drinks can help keep you fuller for longer - this can also help you avoid food cravings. This is especially helpful if you want to control your diet and are on a diet.
Protein powders are ideal for providing your body with sufficient protein in addition to your meals - and they do so with valuable protein and in delicious flavors, at least with us. But not all proteins are created equal. Let's take a quick look at the different types.
Protein powder check – what types of protein are there?
- Whey protein concentrate:This popular protein is derived from whey and contains all essential amino acids - the ideal all-rounder. It has a higher fat and carbohydrate content compared to other forms of whey.
- Whey protein isolate:Whey isolate is also made from whey, but is further processed and therefore usually contains almost no fat and carbohydrates - ideal during diet phases. It usually contains a higher protein content and is often easier to digest.
- Whey protein hydrolysate:This protein has been pre-digested enzymatically, making it easier to digest. It is a good option for people with sensitive stomachs or allergies.
- Casein protein:Casein is derived from milk and is digested more slowly than whey. It is a good source of protein before bedtime because it continuously releases amino acids over a longer period of time.
- Multicomponent protein:Multi-component protein powders contain a mixture of different protein sources and combine their benefits, such as whey and casein – for a constant protein supply.
- Vegan Protein:Vegan protein powders are made from plant sources such as peas, rice, hemp or soy – the ideal alternative to classic protein powder with animal ingredients.
