Types of Protein Powder
Whey protein
Whey protein comes from milk. Contains high levels of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), which are rapidly digested to create new muscle and aid recovery.
Casein protein
Similar to whey protein, casein is also derived from milk, but it is digested and absorbed much more slowly. Gradual exposure of casein to steady levels of amino acids reduces muscle breakdown and promotes growth.
Egg protein
Provides all nine amino acids necessary for lean muscle growth and appetite reduction.
Pea protein
Contains high levels of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), which boost satiety hormones and build muscle
Mixed vegetable protein
Contains a variety of plant sources to provide your body with all essential amino acids.
