The truth about protein powders and what you need to know. The most popular protein is Whey Protein it has some fat loss, and many muscle building supplements with numerous benefits, one of my favourite protein powders.Whey protein is also water soluble and your body will easily digest Whey Protein. I recommend you use it as a pre workout and after workout supplement because it can quickly put the needed nutrients back into your system. It has no taste so it is manufactured in various flavors.Whey protein contains all the amino acids you’ll need to grow and recover making it a complete form of protein. Since whey is a protein, it has no side effects, it is the best protein you can take and I do recommend it for any one serious about fitness.

Soy Protein contains a higher concentration of protein per weight than whey protein does. But it is not taste less so you might not like the taste of soy so it is usually made with fruit flavors to mask the bad taste. Good stuff but taste can be an issue with many.

Cassein Protein is derived from milk and can take a while for your body to digest it does not break down as fast as Whey Proteins. Maximum muscle growth takes place while you sleep. So taking Cassein Protein at night before bedtime makes the most sense, and will allow you to get the full benefits of Cassein Protein.
There is allot to learn about Protein powders and I can go on but I wanted to keep it simple and just touch on some of the different kinds of Protein powders available.

100% Whey Protein Gold Standard Protein Powder Review

Protein powders are a huge part of my work out routine and my daily diet, and should be a must on your list to do to. Protein powders come in so many different forms though so which protein powder works the best, I will start doing some protein powder reviews based on my experienceand to help make your decision on which protein powder is best for you.

100% Whey Protein Gold Standard contains 24 grams of protein, only 2-3 grams of carbohydrates, 1.5 grams of fat and minimal lactose will cost around $40 and is available in Double Rich Chocolate, Chocolate Mint, Cookies and Cream, Strawberry and Vanilla.

It tasted a bit gross with just plain water, but when I added it to a cup of  soy milk, I couldn’t tell the difference between it and a chocolate milk shake. Gold Standard 100% did mix pretty well, and though that doesn’t seem important it is some proteins just don’t mix well and will clump up or just sit in the bottom of your container, to expensive to waste so how the powder dissolves is important. One problem that I have with this product is that it does use artificial sweeteners, and if your on a strict diet that may be a red flag to avoid. Overall I think 100% Whey Protein Gold Standard is very good and I recommend it to my clients all the time.
