Protein shakes

Description

Protein is an essential nutrient needed in the everyday diet and can be found in food such as meat, fish, eggs, milk and nuts. It plays a role in the maintenance of muscle mass as well as contributing to the growth of muscle mass. Athletes in particular have an increased need for dietary protein and the recommended protein intake for athletes is 1.2-1.7 g per kg of body weight per day. This protein intake should be consumed in meals spread out throughout the day.

Physical exercise, and in particular power training, results in an increase in protein breakdown and protein synthesis. To reduce protein breakdown from occurring in the aftermath of exercise, it is important that you consume enough protein to stimulate muscle protein synthesis as this is the foundation for muscle growth. Research has shown that consuming 20 g of protein following a workout is enough to maintain, restore and build up muscle mass. Next to this it is also recommended to spread protein-rich snacks throughout the day. 

Whey protein is one of the most complete proteins and contains all the essential amino acids, in higher concentrations compared to plant-based proteins. It is digested and absorbed quickly and has a high leucine content, which is the most important trigger for musle building. 

The Etixx High Protein Shake  can be consumed after exercise to stimulate muscle protein synthesis and contribute to muscle growth. 



Who can benefit from the Etixx High Protein Shake?

The Etixx High Protein Shake is low in carbohydrate and therefore it is suitable for any athlete who is engaging in strength, power or explosive exercise.
