if the stomach is breaking down all proteins into amino acids, whats the bonus to protein powders over amino acid products besides the calories which you can just get from food.?
This isnt me telling anyone what to do...I just read about the stomach breaking all protein into amino acids and it was very vague so need some smart people to chime in.

no was asking a vary broad question. just what you get out of each... I wasn't assuming I can drink 50g BCAAs...but now that you mention that how many grams of amino acids would you actually get out of say 30grams of a protein powder?..is it close?
and this isnt a question about WHAT should I do or buy just learning about how it all works.

its basically a protein supplement, the low amino acid content is a result of the low protein content, its a weak protein supplement. protein powders contain more protein resulting in more mg per amino acids, i dont see how you would call an amino supplement an amino supplement when it contains protein, in that case you could call protein powders, amino supplements aswell?

um, those dont have all the typical amino acids as seen in a protein supplement like what I asked for or like the prolab you posted correct?, protein supplements usually contain all the typicals,
Tryptophan
Valine
Threonine
Isoleucine
Leucine
Lysine
Phenylalanine
Methionine
Conditionally Essential Amino Acids (CAAs)
Arginine
Cystine
Tyrosine
Histidine
Proline
Glutamine & Precursors
Nonessential Amino Acids (NAAs)
Aspartic Acid
Serine
Glycine
Alanine- INTJ Crew -

FYI, free-form aminos have the same caloric value as peptide-bonded proteins. The two reasons for using complete proteins versus free form are a variance in digestive rates (free-form aminos are rapidly absorbed but also don't peak amino levels for prolonged periods of times) and di- and tri- peptides are more efficiently absorbed than free-form aminos are.

Proteins are the building blocks of everything and different amino acid sequences build proteins. The characteristics of a proteins is determined by the sequence in which the amino acids are arranged. There are many types of proteins.
1. Structural proteins: Keratin of hair and nails, collagen of bone. others for different functions
2. Enzymes
3. Transport
4. Hormonal Proteins
5. Contractile proteins
6. Storage proteins
7. Genetic proteins
8. Defense proteins
9. Receptor proteins
Not all proteins are used for bodybuilding as most people would assume on here.
Your body only breaks down proteins as it needs to, for whichever function it needs it needs the amino acids for to form a new type of protein. If a person is to take whole proteins than your body doesn't have to break it down if it fits the immediate need of the body for the function which it has to provide and it is complete as it is, like for repairing broken down muscle fibers, which happens after training. BCAA's can be used but they still have to form a protein to help with building the muscle and they are really expensive and require large amounts.
Whey powders usually contain all the amino acids. There are a total of 20 amino acids which are involved in human protein synthesis of which not all are essential, meaning that of those 20, 10 are synthesized by the body and need not be present in the diet. The 10 that have to present in the diet are Arginine, Methionine, Leucine, Lysine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan, Valine, Histidine and Isoleucine.
You shouldn't buy amino acid products as you don't really need them if your using whole foods and protein powder.
Besides the other nutritional needs for foods like chicken, they have all of the essential amino acids you need. You still require FFA's and minerals and other things your body needs so you cant just give up food and start taking BCAA's and other crap. Besides you can replace the taste. (-:
Hope this helped
