Episode notes
EAA Importance
- Essential amino acids (EAAs) are the active components of protein, stimulating protein synthesis.
- EAAs are more concentrated in certain foods and supplements compared to plant-based sources.
Whey Isolate vs. Concentrate
- Whey protein isolate is a more pure form of protein than whey concentrate due to additional filtration.
- This makes it virtually lactose-free and suitable for those with intolerances.
Whey Protein Processing
- Whey protein, while processed, is not ultra-processed.
- Unlike ultra-processed foods, its aim is to deliver health benefits, not just addictive qualities.
