Time Released Proteins
What are Time Released Proteins?
Table of contents
Time Released Proteins are supplements that are made of several protein sources and each one has a different absorption rate.
Proteins are made up of amino acid chains. It is through the digestion process that proteins are finally broken down into their basic elements in order to be absorbed. The amount of time between the consumption and the absorption of the protein will vary depending on the protein source.
Protein absorption rate
As we previously mentioned, each type of protein will react differently to the absorption process. There are from low to high absorption rates:
- Concentrate and Isolate
This feature will determine the behavior of the protein at a molecular level and its absorption. Hydrolyzed protein has the highest absorption rate because it has large amounts of peptides in its composition. This term refers to the way in which our bodies absorb the protein. This process takes place in the intestines and the peptides will be the molecules that are absorbed. In this regard, hydrolyzed protein will be broken down into this basic particles already, which allows the highest absorption rate.
Even though it would be ideal to be able to consume this type of protein exclusively, the truth is that our system has a limit and it can become saturated. That is why it is important to include other protein sources with a slower absorption rate in order to obtain the same benefits, but without saturating the receptors.
Benefits of Time Released Proteins
Increasing the blood amino acid levels will produce a strong response for the protein synthesis and they will drop afterwards. It is precisely from this point onward that we can benefit from time released proteins.
If we take several proteins with different absorption rates, we will be able to create more peaks for the protein synthesis, apart from keeping a constant amino acids discharge to our bloodstream, prolonging the duration and increasing the impact of the hormone response for muscle growth.
Types of Time Released Proteins
Time released proteins, tend to combine two or more protein sources. However, we may occasionally purchase proteins that have other ingredients in order to reinforce the formula for some specific purpose, such as losing or gaining weight.
When to consume Time Released Proteins?
One of the main advantages of time released proteins is that we can use them at any time of the day:
- When you get up
- Before the workout
- After the workout
- Before going to sleep
- Between meals
