Various Protein Supplements

Adding a protein supplement to your diet is a good idea if you are following a body-building routine or you want to be able to help your muscles to recover faster after working out. Choosing the right type is important so here is a guide to the many different types of protein that you could be choosing from:

Hydrolysate Protein

This is probably the most expensive protein that is on the market but it is well worth the cost. It delivers the right amount of protein to the muscles to maximise recovery which is why most dedicated body builders will use this. It has a great anabolic effect and can be used effectively before or after a workout.

Whey Isolates


These are next on the list and are slightly less expensive than Hydrolysate protein, but they are excellent at aiding recovery. Whey Isolates are also a good choice for anyone who is sticking to a low carb diet as they do not contain many carbohydrates. This protein is fast to absorb and can be used in the same way as Hydrolysate protein.

Casein Protein

This is a slow to break down type of protein which makes it ideal for anyone who wants to consume protein and then go to bed. It works through the night at repairing muscles and has a great anabolic effect that lasts for 5 to 7 hours. You should also try this out if you want to reduce the amount that you eat as it can make you stay feeling full for much longer.

Whey Concentrate

This is the perfect protein of choice for beginners who want more protein but don’t want to have to spend a fortune on it. It is very easy to use and can be added to shakes with no problem. However, one of the downsides of this protein is that it can make you feel bloated which can be an issue for many people.

Soy Protein

Soy Protein is the best way for vegetarians to add more protein to their diet without consuming animal products. This has arginine for improved blood flow and glutamine for faster recovery so it is great for consuming post workout. While many people who train will take this it is not as popular with body builders who want ‘true’ forms of protein.

Milk Protein Isolate

Milk Protein has whey and casein proteins in it and is packed with amino acids. It is normally blended so that more than one type of protein can be used. This is not one of the most widely used types of protein as most people want something that is more targeted. It can be used during the day and is not really recommended for use at night.
