Protein and Amino Acids
Egg
whites have become so popular on the McDonald’s menu that they have
created an egg albumen shortage due to their great demand. We’ve
been out of protein for months, so what to do? In this time of
protein supplement shortages, it’s gratifying to know that you can
always take amino acids. There are advantages to including aminos in
your supplement program.
A protein drink is a meal
replacement where you get protein, carbs, some fats, fiber, you sip
it slowly and your body digests it like a meal. A protein drink is a
convenient way to get the effect of eating something by drinking it.
You can swallow vitamins and minerals with it too.
Amino acids however are the end
result of protein digestion and the easiest way to increase nutrient
density in your diet without adding significant calories. Each free
form amino acid capsule contains 5 to 6 times as much nitrogen as an
equal amount of protein powder. Nitrogen is what differentiates
protein from carbohydrate and protein is the only nutrient than
builds muscle.
We
have a new source of egg albumen for our Cutting
Edge Egg White Protein
and it has been reformulated with sunflower seed lecithin, a fat
emulsifier. XYZ
supplement perfection
is being reformulated too and we expect to have both product
available for shipment in 4 to 5 weeks. I’d like to thank our
protein customers for being patient.
The
good news is that my training is going very well and I’m seeing
muscular development I haven’t seen in years. Prior surgeries have
been rehabed and I’m relatively pain free except for soreness the
day following a workout. Training three times a week works perfectly
for me and the extra rest between workouts have allowed me time to
keep growing. The Autumn 2013 issue of Buildingthe Body
quarterly is just about finished and I’ll be sending it to the
printer this week, so watch for it by mid October.
All the best in your training,
