The document compares different types of protein sources, highlighting their absorption rates, price points, and nutritional benefits. It discusses whey isolates as quickly absorbed and high in protein, while casein protein digests slowly, beneficial for prolonged fullness. Other protein sources mentioned include soy protein, milk protein isolates, and egg albumin, each with unique characteristics and uses.

2. Whey Isolates
Whey Isolates are being absorbed by the body very
quickly, which makes them perfect for body builders,
who need protein in their system to rebuild muscle
tissue after work outs. One of the main components,
water, has already been removed from isolates. They
yield a very high percentage (min. 90%) of pure
protein and therefore are at a higher price point.

3. Whey Concentrate is inexpensive and very
common in regular protein powders and bars.
Some people may digest this form of protein a little
harder and could feel a little bloated afterwards.

4. The highest quality on the market and
therefore also most expensive. Hydrolysates
are enzymatically predigested for maximal
speed of absorption. It’s very easy to digest
and feeds your muscles with nutrients
instantly.

5. Casein Protein serves a very slow digestion, which is
benefitial, if you want to stay full for a longer period of
time during the day. It’s also great to slowly feed your
muscles for several hours while you’re sleeping. Casein
protein is very high in glutamine to help your body
recover faster and boost your immune system.

6. Loaded with Glutamine and BCAAs, Soy is the source
of protein for vegetarians. Although not preferred by
bodybuilders, it can be used pre and post workout.

7. Like soy protein, Milk Protein Isolates are full of
amino acids and consist of both casein and whey
proteins. Even though it’s not the preferred
choice of protein for many people, it’s usually
found in blends of multiple types of protein.

8. Egg Albumin is the old-school source of protein,
that was common when protein powders did not
exist yet. Found in egg whites, this protein is rich
in amino acids and is used in many protein blends
and meal replacement products.

9. NUTS
Ever wondered why nutty flavors have usually more grams
of protein than other flavors? Nuts are an excellent source
of protein and healthy fats. Pecans provide 2g of protein
per ounce, Hazelnuts and Cashews 4g. Walnuts and Peanuts
come with a whopping 7 grams of protein per ounce.
Almonds and Pistachios are the runner-ups with 6 grams.
