Whey vs Casein Protein | What the difference?
In this episode of the Total Body Training entitled, Whey Vs Casein Protein | What’s the Difference? I talk all about the nutritional value of whey protein and Casein Protein. In order to understand this conversation about the supplements, I decided to start off by explaining how whey and casein are actually made. Both Whey protein and Casein are a derivate of cows milk.
Essentially, you get these supplements whey you curdle cow’s milk. Whey Protein can be found curdled into different kinds of versions of itself. A few examples of whey protein would be whey isolate m whey concentrate and whey hydrolyzed, For more on the topic of whey protein you can click watch my other video about whey protein. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xLbs…
So, what are the benefits of taking whey protein? Well, whey protein is a fast-absorbing protein. When you take whey it breaks down in your body rather quickly and can then be used to rebuild muscle tissue. So, that is exactly why people take whey protein after a workout.
Taking whey protein as a post-workout meal will give your body the nutrition it needs to rebuild muscle tissue. Another supplement that people like to take that helps with rebuilding muscle tissue is creatine but we will save another video for the conversation about creatine and creatines nutritional value.
Casein, on the other hand, is called a slow absorbing protein. When casein protein comes in contact with liquid it becomes thick and gelatinous.
This thickness causes the protein to get slowly processed in the stomach. In fact, casein protein takes hours to be processed by your stomach. Fitness enthusiasts like bodybuilders and powerlifters like to take casein before they go to bed. The benefit of taking it before you go to bed is that your body will slowly use that protein to rebuild muscle tissue while you are sleeping.
Do you need whey or casein to improve your physique or athleticism? The answer is no. You can get your protein from meat and other sources. The benefit of taking a protein supplement is that it is fast and easy to take. Eating the amount of protein that you need to eat in a day can sometimes be tricky. Most of us work jobs and have busy lives that don’t allow us to eat every few hours. So, that’s where protein can be extremely useful.
Plus, these protein powders do get processed by the body in ways that regular protein from meat does not. Just think about how I was talking about the fact that whey is fast-absorbing or casein is slow absorbing. So, that being said they are benefits to take them but it’s not entirely necessary to take them and if you are on a budget then I think you would focus on saving your money for other more important things! Anyways, I hope this article helped you!
