How Are Creatine & Whey Protein Different? - NutraScience Labs Podcast

Описание: Today, we're going to answer the question, "How are creatine and whey protein different from one another?" Over the next few minutes, I'll answer the major questions that consumers have about these products - answers you should know as a dietary supplement brand owner.

Is Creatine Better Than Whey Protein?: [0:51]
As you'll learn shortly, we're essentially comparing apples to oranges here. They're both important, but they both work very differently to help achieve one's desired health and fitness goals.

What Is Creatine & What Are Its Health Benefits?: [1:26]
Creatine is a non-protein amino compound found in red meat and seafood, as well as our own muscles.

Creatine plays a major role in helping to regenerate ATP - the "energy currency" of our muscles. The absence of creatine (and therefore available ATP) can cause muscle fatigue quickly. The most commonly used supplement form of creatine is creatine monohydrate.

What Is Whey Protein & What Are the Health Benefits?: [3:31]
Whey is a by-product of cheese manufacturing. Whey protein is derived from whey and provides a higher concentration of essential amino acids (EAA's) than many other protein sources.

Health and fitness enthusiasts turn to whey protein because it's rich in Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's), typically containing 24%. Whey protein (particularly whey protein isolate) has the highest Biological value among other proteins tested. Lastly, there are multiple studies demonstrating its effectiveness in helping to build lean muscle mass as part of a training program.

Can Whey Protein and Creatine Be Taken Together?: [5:17]
Absolutely! In a six-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, men on a strength training program were divided into three groups and supplemented with whey protein alone, whey protein plus creatine monohydrate, or a placebo.

Men that took the whey/creatine combo gained almost 9 pounds of lean muscle. Those men that took just whey protein gained 5 pounds and men that took the placebo only gained about 2 pounds.

When Is the Best Time to Take Creatine & Whey Protein?: [6:32]
According to the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN), the most effective way to increase muscle creatine stores is to ingest creatine monohydrate four times per day.
