The Rub
While hydrolyzed protein may seem like the clear winner, many experts question its usefulness in healthy adults who are perfectly capable of digesting their own protein. It’s also known to cause loss of biological activity in the protein due it’s predigestion.
How exactly are these proteins predigested? This process involves adding proteolytic enzymes, which break down protein, or heating a protein with acid. This mimics the digestion process and result in intact proteins breaking down into single amino acids and small amino-acid peptide strands.
While all this information is well and good, what does it actually mean for a real human body? How do you separate the scientific jargon from what’s actually useful?
In the video below John Brooks from BestPriceNutrition explains the ins and outs of concentrate, isolate, and hydrolyzed protein, and which one works for you.
