Effectiveness
This protein belongs to the category of standard whey proteins with a moderate protein content. Therefore, it is suitable for the following goals:
- Muscle mass growth. Well, this is obvious. Muscles are made of protein (amino acids). If your diet has enough carbohydrates but not enough protein (which is the case for most), then protein will be quite beneficial.
- Simply as a source of amino acids, including essential ones: BCAAs and others.
- Can conditionally be suitable for fat burning. More precisely - for preserving muscle during fat burning. This means it’s not ideal, but if you can’t afford anything else, it will suffice. After all, it contains 13% carbohydrates, the majority of which are sugar.
In addition to the above, it should be noted that this protein is whey-based. This means it is quickly absorbed. And that means it contains a good amount of BCAAs and will be well-suited for consumption immediately after workout.
How to Take
Here are the main rules for taking:
- Regardless of the number of workouts, it is better to take it every day.
- Take 1-2 times a day (depending on how much protein you are missing from regular food). Once in the first half of the day and another in the second.
- It is better to consume it right after the workout and/or between meals. But not at the same time as your main meal.
- Mix it preferably with milk. Water is also an option. The amount of liquid is a matter of taste and does not matter much.
- You can add creatine, BCAAs, gainers, or anything you wish to the protein.
- To achieve results, the duration of use should be at least one month.
- The maximum duration of use is unlimited. This means you can take it for life without breaks.
Dosage per intake:
- Up to 60 kg: 25-30 grams at a time.
- Up to 80 kg: 30-40 grams at a time.
- Up to 100 kg: 40-50 grams at a time.
- Over 100 kg: 50-60 grams at a time.
Of course, all dosages are quite approximate. And they largely depend on your overall activity, number of workouts, amount of protein you consume from regular food, etc. You can calculate the exact portion here.
I advise not to pay attention to the dosage indicated by the manufacturer, as manufacturers can prescribe completely different dosages for approximately the same proteins. As a rule, these are more or less reasonable figures (25 - 35 grams). But sometimes it can reach up to 100 grams.
