ISSA Trainers - Protein Supplements Vs. Protein Foods!

**webmaster** · 01-24-2003, 11:17 AM

The biggest advantage of protein supplements is not that they can build more muscle than chicken or egg whites or any other whole food protein, the biggest advantage is convenience. Lean why!

I had just spent about 1/2 hour trying to find a predigested amino acid formula that was USP quality. The science in your article was very respectable and it was good to find someone who did the research that cuts through all the marketing hype. Truth is, I hate taking either tablets or powders and would rather eat food soooo....you saved me a lot of money. Thank you ..Sharon.

I really like that article. It makes so much sense to me anyway, that I should be able to meet my protein needs naturally, but it's nice to hear some science behind it.

Extremely outdated article. Obviously, the author of this article dont know how to use Pubmed search.. Also, the suggestion that whole proteins are absorbed faster than free aminos is utter nonsense.

I haven't even read it, but look at the date. The article was posted 3 1/2 years ago.

I just wanted to thank you for your article! I'm not a body builder. Just a guy interested his health trying to understand the issue of protein supplements in exercise nutrition. You explained the pros and cons of supplements versus whole foods well. Now I can make better choices for myself. Thanks for writing so clearly and informatively!
