Protein

A lot of people on the forum say isolate absorbs better than the blend, but I can't find any info online about that. Where did this info come from? I'd like to read about it. Thanks!

What? It is listed on the Internet so by golly, it must be true. :)

I don't have an online source, but that's the info I was given by the hospital nut, my drs Nut, and my best friend is a personal trainer/nut and agreed with the assessment when I was nattering on about the plan they'd given me.

I've heard it absorbs FASTER than other proteins or blends. I've not heard the term BETTER used with isolate. I may be wrong, but that's just what I've read about isolate. Unless of course it is right after a workout (resistance training), which I think faster is better for muscle recovery. So that's why I take it right after a workout. But I also keep a blend or casein protein around for right before I go to bed on days that I've had a really intense workout....when I can think of it anyway. :P I probably only take that once or twice a week. For me, it's all a guess....and maybe for the nutritionists as well. :wacko:

I have read it absorbs faster but can't find info on absorbing better. I had my surgery in MX and don't have a Nutritionist. Just wondering if it's true. Weird there's no info online about that.
