The latest research suggests that protein
synthesis is better with a blend. Given the fact that we are all interested in
increasing muscle mass, I would do three things.
1. Make sure my protein intake
from all sources is at least 1 gram per pound of body weight.
2. Use a protein blend.
Preferably a 80/20 or 50/50 casein to whey blend.
3. Have an even amount of protein
across all meals including pre-workout and post-workout.
Detoxes are just another scam. http://t.co/UCAti623Zj @Examinecom #scam #detox
