Protein

Protein-powder supplements are among the most popular on the market today. They are said to aid recovery from workouts and aid muscle growth. They can also increase dietary protein intake, raise daily calorie intake and provide a sense of fullness for those looking to lose weight. There are many different types of protein – and the most popular are the dairy-based whey and casein. Whey is the most common of all the proteins and is the fastest digesting available. Other options include beef and egg proteins, as well as plant-based soy, brown rice and hemp. Plant-based sources are especially helpful for those who have milk allergies or follow vegetarian/vegan diets.
