Getting a better uptake of Protein powders

Save Tip

If are are wondering as to how to get a better uptake with your protein powders..
Here is a simple tip to help you with that..
you can simply just add protein powder any flavor to a Gatorade.

The reason why it works is that the sugar initiates an insulin release that will
shuttle the sugar into the muscle cells and the protein which is piggy backing on the
sugar. This will dramatically increase the likelihood of protein making it to the place
where it is needed most: Your muscle cells.

This drink is meant to be a post work out drink but can also be pre workout and taken throughout your workout.

	“ good post. this is good for a post workout shake. fuel those muscles. I also use a gatorade powder, amino acid mix while i'm working out. ”

	“ I just add half a serving of carbo gain =D. You can add dextrose, fructose, or maltodextrin---that's for the people that use chocolate or vanilla proteins....as i don't think chocolate fruit punch would be all that great =D. Also don't take chromium supps within an a couple hours of a protein shake as it will lower the insulin release. I find that the Muscle Milk RTD have sugar in them....they might not have 25 grams but they have 7. There are lots of ways to create a better uptake in protein. ”
