Protein powder from Whey - - still the go to supplement for athletes as well as regular exercisers -- is more easily absorbed and used when combined with specific protease enzymes, a new study has found. Double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trials of ProHydrolase , which is a multi-enzyme chemical, as well as Whey protein have demonstrated improvements in the digestion and absorption of amino acid as well as a reduction in the immunogenic reactions that occur with whey-protein consumption. The study involved 20 volunteers (aged 19-35 with normal healthy BMI) whey protein with ProHydrolase for nine consecutive days as well as whey protein on its own for nine days. Then, at the end of the study, researchers found that total amino acid concentrations were significantly (by 55 mg) more when taking protein whey as well as the ProHydrolase supplement than after just the whey protein-only supplement. That is, whey protein and ProHydrolase offer 20 percent more amino acids than wh...
