Protein Supplements

The search for increased physical performance leads to athletes to consume products help increase the performance. Since the illegal substances are clearly disallowed by doping control laboratories, the emphasis has been placed with increasing emphasis on natural supplements, including protein and vitamins and minerals.

The importance of proteins and their building blocks, the amino acids in the diet of the athlete is linked to the increased needs in sports where muscle strength is important for its contribution to the development and growth of tissues, including muscle tissue.

Proteins are an energy source for athletes, and they act on the muscle and increasing strength, power, and thus performance.

How many proteins need?

A healthy person has a normal daily protein requirements of 0.8 grams / kg bw / day, while the amount you must include an athlete in the diet is more, because the muscular demands are greater.

    So, coming from personal experience, I do not think that protein shakes are very highly recommendable. Most people get plenty of protein (if not too much) from their daily diet. If you consume a well-rounded diet, AND protein shakes on top of it, you are bound to gain weight (in fat).
