Protein Bioavailability :, Digestability / speed of uptake - Coggle Diagram
Protein Bioavailability :
Egg 100
Whey 104
Casein 77
Double Plex (50% whey + 50% casein) >140
Digestability / speed of uptake
BCAAs / EAAs
BCAAs
Pre + intra workout
INTRA RUSH / BCAA powder
BCAA 2:1:1
anabolic effect
Intra Rush 10:1:1
High concentration of Leucine
critical for protein synthesis
protects existing muscle
muscle protection
high performance athletes
EAAs
post workout
quick supply of amino acids
can be used for pre-workout, but BCAA concentration is much lower than in BCAA powder or Intra Rush and EAAs are useless for muscle protection
Nitro Load (hydrolyzed)
highly digestible (available in the muscle in about 20 minutes)
for those who eat regularly post workout but need a quick supply of protein
Whey Isolate
very easily digested (up to one hour)
Whey Concentrate
digestion takes up to two hours
Casein
slow digestion (up to eight hours)
best in combination with whey
allows for immediate protein supply as well as delayed supply throughout the night, or for those who don't find the time to regularly eat during the day
Plant Based
slowest digestion
