When shopping for a protein shot or other type of protein beverage or supplement you are more than likely to run across many different promises of fast acting protein. You would think that one of these fast acting protein isolate supplements would be great, a fast acting supplement for a fast and active lifestyle. In truth this may not be the case as recent studies show that instead of a supplement that contains only a partial protein it is actually better for your health to use a complete protein. Just what is so different about a complete protein though? A complete protein actually has whey protein and casein protein unlike some supplements that only contain the whey protein. Casein is actually very important as it slows the rate of protein breaking down in your system. When casein is absent though the protein can break down at a much quicker speed and cause a higher level of amino acids to get into your blood stream. The amino acids then can get absorbed into the small intestine where it is converted into new protein or energy. During the process a toxic byproduct called ammonia created and though it is normally taken care of by the urea cycle too much can be bad for you. With the casein protein in a whole protein it makes the breakdown slower and steadier preventing excessive amounts and amino acids and ammonia from being created. It is best to search for supplements that contain whole protein such as Caprotein as it is actually much healthier despite what some people may believe.
