Protein Made Easy: Answers To The Most Common Questions
Q. What is whey?
Whey is a natural diary protein containing vitamins, minerals, protein, lactose and traces of milk fat. Most commercial whey supplements are derived from cow's milk, which is comprised of 6.25% protein: 20% in the form of whey. Whey protein supplements utilize the concentrated protein, eliminating the lactose and milk fat. Whey is a complete protein, meaning it contains all essential amino acids, which are vital to your metabolism, and to making your body function properly for good health.
Q. Is milk the same as whey?
No, while both are natural dairy products, milk contains ~6.25% protein that is comprised of 80% casein protein and 20% whey protein. In addition, milk contains lactose and fat (removed in skim milk). Whey protein is extracted from milk, leaving the lesser protein- casein- and eliminating most of the lactose and fat.
Q. Why do I need protein?
Proteins are the basic building blocks of life. Protein, and only protein, provides your body with the amino acids it needs to build, repair and rebuild muscles. Protein also provides the necessary components to keep your immune system healthy, make hormones, enzymes, skin, hair, nails, organs and blood. (Note the word protein comes from the Greek word "proteios" meaning of prime or of first importance.)
Q. How much protein do I need on a daily basis?
Several factors play critical roles in how much protein your body needs. Age, size (height and weight), metabolic rate, exercise level, stress factors (work, health status, viral or bacterial infection), your amount of sleep, and the quality and quantity of foods you eat, all play a role in determining your protein requirements. (7-12) Extensive research into human metabolic rates and how they are affected by age, activity and stress have been prepared over the last decade by leading physicians in hospital settings. (13) See the table below for estimates of your protein requirements based on your personal lifestyle/training goals.
Q. I thought amino acids were the best way to get protein. Is this true?
No, it's not true, since free-form amino acids are poorly utilized by the body for protein synthesis. To get the amino acids your body needs, consume protein in the form of peptides (the best method) or eat whole, intact protein. In fact, scientists have found that protein in the form of peptides is absorbed much more rapidly - as much as 237% faster - than free form amino acids or intact protein. (2) Not only does whey protein improve nitrogen retention better than amino acids, research shows it also stimulates protein synthesis 119% better than casein. When 30 grams of whey protein were compared to 43 grams of casein, whey protein increased protein synthesis by 68%, while casein increased it by only 31%. (3)
Q. Can too much protein hurt my kidneys?
Bodybuilders frequently consume 300-500g of protein per day for months - even years, yet there is no scientific evidence that this high protein intake causes kidney problems. In other studies, animals with high protein intakes for more than half their lifetime showed no kidney damage. (17) High protein intake may be hazardous only for individuals with abnormal kidney function or kidney disease. For the disease-free individual, the most serious concern with high protein intake is dehydration, because it takes a lot of water to metabolize protein. This is avoided by drinking 8 or more 8 oz. glasses of water a day.
A new study just looked at the effects of a high protein intake on markers of safety in 20 healthy resistance-trained males. The subjects were taking 1.3 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight 3.6 times greater amount than that recommended by the RDI. After 28 days the researchers concluded that the daily high protein intake had no untoward or negative effects on the immune system, renal and hepatic function nor did it induce ketosis or dehydration, thus it appears safe for short term daily intake (25). Quite contrary to any thoughts of adverse effects, Designer Whey is used by many renal patients because it is low in phosphorus, potassium and carbohydrates, but is high in biological value, and can be mixed in a small amount of fluid and is easily consumed.
Q. Will a protein powder give me big muscles?
In order to achieve muscle growth while using protein powders you must "weight train" on a regular basis. A recommended workout for obtaining greater muscle definition is to exercise or train 3-4 days a week, rest prudently, avoid overtraining, and eat right. If you stick to this program, you may see results in as short a period of time as six weeks. Continuing this regimen for 48 weeks a year, for at least 3 or 4 years, will provide you the opportunity to attain the "big muscles" or improved muscular definition you are looking for.
