MAXIMUM PROTEIN INTAKE

HOW MUCH PROTEIN THE BODY CAN ACTUALLY ABSORB!
Is there any truth to this? Or could I consume larger amounts of protein in my diet at shorter intervals?
ANSWER

In addition, athletes with a higher percentage of muscle mass require significantly more protein and can absorb more than non-athletes with little to average muscle development.
The average athlete needs around 60 grams of protein per meal. Assuming five meals a day, this gives a total of 300 grams of protein per day, which should be enough for most athletes.
Protein intake is particularly important immediately after training, as this is when the muscle cells are crying out for protein to replenish the amount consumed during training. The faster an adequate amount of protein is consumed, the better for regeneration and thus for muscle building. Immediately after training, the body has an increased ability to absorb nutrients, which lasts for up to several hours. Since rapid absorption is required, you should consume a protein after training that is quickly absorbed by the muscle cells and does not put strain on them.TRIPLE WHEY has proven itself to be the optimal protein for this purpose, as it contains a special whey protein matrix with 3 different types of whey protein and ensures rapid protein absorption within a few minutes. Professionals and advanced users use ISO WHEY with a 100% isolate content, as this is purer and contains less fat and carbohydrates.
But not only protein is important after training, but also a carbohydrate intake adjusted to the individual body weight in order to refill the glycogen stores that were emptied during training. Only after the reserves that were used up during the workout have been replenished does the organism begin to build new muscle mass. For this purpose, the special maltodextrin product MALTO 95 , which contains a DE (= dextrose equivalent) of 12 and ensures a rapid and constant carbohydrate absorption.SEND US YOUR QUESTION!
