The body needs an amount of protein to compensate for the workout and weight loss. The presence of proteins recommended by the doctors and health experts is 0.8 to 2.0 grams per kilogram depending upon the weight of the body.

The weight gain or muscle mass must include work out as a daily regime with protein powders. The amount of calories a protein powder provides for a body is between 100 to 200 calories, which in case not burned properly with workout can lead to obesity.
The different kinds of protein powders available in the market are; the Whey Protein, the Casein Protein, the Soy protein and the Protein blend powders. Each protein powder has its own specific benefits.

Whey Protein

20% of the proteins in milk are whey proteins. The profile of whey proteins is mostly the existence of an amino acid with low levels of lactose present. There are various forms of whey proteins with the occurrence of whey protein isolate, whey protein hydrolysate and whey protein concentrate. They are easy to digest and give a lot of energy before a workout routine. Whey protein helps to build muscle mass, facilitates the growth of the muscles and the extra amount of fat is burned out, which results in a healthy weight gain.

Casein Protein

Casein proteins are about 85 of the total milk proteins with an advantage to maintain the slightest presence of amino acids in the blood for a long time. Other protein powders digest quickly while casein protein takes time to fully digest in the blood stream. Not only the energy is enhanced but it is also stored to build muscle mass. The loss of fat is collected to gain weight and build the body. It can be perfect for maintaining energy for a long time.

Soy Protein

The effectiveness of soy protein is less as compared to other supplements. The source of soy protein is a plant. It increases the estrogen in a human body which as a result mimics the estrogen present in female hormones. There is a high level of phytoestrogens but low testosterone in the blood.
It is a rich source of amino acid which helps in gaining a lot of muscle bulk.
You must choose the right powdered protein supplement based on your body needs. It helps you achieve a dream body with muscles with less effort and healthy results.
