Wissenswertes über "Protein powder"
Protein powders are concentrated forms of protein that are obtained from various sources, such as whey, eggs, pulses or plants like rice and peas.
Protein powder is one of the most popular dietary supplements for athletes, bodybuilders and health-conscious people. Protein is an essential part of the diet as it is necessary for building muscle, repairing tissues and supporting numerous body functions.
Proteins consist of amino acids, which act as building blocks of the body. There are 20 different amino acids, nine of which are considered essential as the body cannot produce them itself and they must therefore be taken in with food. Protein powders contain these essential amino acids in varying concentrations. Particularly important are the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) such as leucine, isoleucine and valine, which make an important contribution to muscle building and muscle regeneration. The amino acid glutamine, for example, protects the muscles from breakdown during intensive training and promotes regeneration. By choosing the right protein powder or purely supplementing with amino acids, these can be supplied in a targeted manner to ultimately optimise performance.
