EAS 100% Myopro FAQ

• Why do I need to consume extra protein on a daily basis to my diet?
  • You want to consume extra protein on a daily basis because studies with both strength and endurance athletes have clearly indicated that exercise increases the need for protein and amino acids, and the number of people partaking in athletic activity is increasing, and high quality protein sources are in demand! And, people want these quality protein sources to be convenient and quick, to coincide with their modern-day busy lifestyles.
• Why is whey protein so much better than other types of protein?
  • Whey protein is better than other types of protein because whey protein has one of the highest biological values of any protein supplement on the market due to its excellent amino acid profile, solubility, and digestibility. A high biological value means that it may "yield" more usable grams of amino acids. Also, it also contains the highest concentration of branched chain amino acids (BCAA) of any single protein source. This BCAA content is important to exercising individuals because BCAA's are an integral part of muscle metabolism and are the first amino acids sacrificed during muscle protein breakdown.
• How much protein should I be consuming per day, and is timing of intake important?
  • Research suggests that hard training people should consume approximately one gram of protein per pound of bodyweight, spread out over five to six meals daily for proper assimilation. The RDA for sedentary folks is a little lower than this, 0.8 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight daily. Research indicates athletes may need a higher intake of protein to compensate for the stress they place on themselves through intensive training.
  • A good time to take a protein supplement is right before you go to sleep at night, since during this time your body assimilates protein for the first few hours, then recycles and breaks down protein for several hours. You can also consume a protein supplement first thing in the morning to stop the protein breakdown phase of the sleep cycle. Another recommendation is to ingest a fast-acting protein/carb drink immediately following your workout, because your body’s metabolism is primed to feed muscle tissue at this time. One good option is a supplement containing whey protein, like the EAS product 100% Myopro Whey Protein.
