Protein

Once you hit your 30s, your muscles start to shrink naturally. And once you hit 50, it's like hitting the fast-forward button on muscle loss. But don't worry, there's a way to slow down this aging process and even reverse it - protein and resistance training are your new best friends.

Studies show that upping your protein intake as you get older can help you manage your weight, keep your muscles strong, and reduce body fat. This is because protein boosts your metabolism and keeps you feeling full longer.

And if you really want to kick things up a notch, try mixing different types of protein in your shakes. Combining fast, intermediate, and slow-digesting proteins like whey, egg, and casein can help you build and maintain muscle better than just sticking to whey alone.

• Each type of protein digests at a different rate, giving you unique benefits:
• Fast digesting proteins are great for building muscle after a tough workout.
• Intermediate digesting proteins help you feel fuller for longer.
• Slow digesting proteins are perfect for keeping your muscles strong in the long run.

So, don't let age slow you down - grab that protein shake and hit the gym!

Mixing Proteins for Sustained Delivery

Mixing fast-absorbing proteins like whey with slower-digesting ones is a smart move. This combo keeps a steady flow of amino acids going to your muscles, helping your body get the most out of the protein you eat. It's all about finding the right balance for your nutritional needs to ensure optimal digestion and absorption.

Having the right mix and type of protein helps your body repair and build muscle more effectively. By understanding how different proteins work and the role of digestive enzymes, you can customize your protein intake to match your fitness or health goals. This approach guarantees that your body gets the necessary building blocks when it needs them.

The International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) suggests that proteins that are rapidly digested and contain high levels of essential amino acids (EAAs) and sufficient leucine are most effective in stimulating muscle protein synthesis. They also recommend consuming slower-acting casein protein to boost muscle protein synthesis.

ABBullet Get Fit Time Release Protein offers a better anabolic effect by providing a sustained 4-hour feed of muscle-building amino acids into the bloodstream, promoting optimal growth and recovery. In simple terms, a blended time-release protein gives a better anabolic effect by continuously supplying muscle-building amino acids for growth and recovery.

This constant protein supply to the muscles helps prevent muscle breakdown, making it "anti-catabolic." This is especially beneficial for those looking to build muscle mass or prevent muscle breakdown during a calorie deficit.
