Why We Use Whey Protein Concentrate

New research proves conclusively that the combination of the anti-catabolic, long-term affects of micellar casein protein and the short-term, anabolic effects of whey protein is much more effective for muscle growth and repair than whey alone. It’s a well-known fact that muscle mass is influenced by the rate of anabolism which increases muscle and the rate of catabolism which reduces it, a continual process in the human body.

Whey protein is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, causing an anabolic effect. Yet, the effects of whey are short-lived as the blood amino acid levels of whey only last for a short period of time. Micellar casein enters the bloodstream at a much slower rate while its effect on blood levels of amino acids lasts for hours, unleashing its anti-catabolic action.

Since it’s absolutely critical to ingest the proper combination of fast- and slow-absorbing protein to insure a consistent blood amino acid level to maximize anabolism and minimize catabolism, the availability of this special formulation makes Muscle-Link’s Muscle Meals™ an obvious choice.
And, it’s absolutely delicious!
