THE BASIC SUPPLEMENT GUIDE FOR STRENGTH TRAINING

WHEY, WHAT'S THAT? WHEY, WHAT'S THAT? Whey is an English term which refers to the protein in milk. Consequently Whey is always present in milk. Approximately 20% of the milk protein consists of whey. It has a very high biological value and is therefore absorbed very quickly by the body. Due to the high biological value, the body can split it very well into the body's own proteins. Whey is very rich in BCAA and glutamine. What does Whey do? It causes an excitement of protein synthesis and insulin secretion. However, insulin secretion is not as high as drinking pure sugar. Through this effect, the body enters an anabolic state. Which means that the body now prefers cell and muscle growth. Whey protein concentrate is extracted from milk by ultrafiltration.

WHO NEEDS IT? WHO NEEDS IT? Athletes benefit more from Whey protein. Whether in powerlifting or other physically demanding sports, everyone can benefit from it. Even underweight and sick people can benefit from it, since it stimulates the body to its own protein synthesis.

HOW WHEY INGEST PROTEIN AND ITS DOSES? HOW WHEY INGEST PROTEIN AND ITS DOSES? The simplest form of whey protein is mixed in powder form as a drink. To do this, the powder is poured into a blender and stirred together with either water or other liquids. Mixing leads to a much better shake. Mostly the preparation is creamier and has fewer lumps in the shake. Dosage: 0.3g to 0.6g per pound of body weight is described as the recommended amount. It takes at least 20g to 30g to stimulate protein synthesis. To achieve its most intake recommendation, an intensive full body workout has to be completed. Let's start with an athlete with 80kg body weight. This results in the following calculation. 0.3 * 80 = 24g whey The older an athlete gets, the higher the dosage must be, because the body no longer reacts so sensitively to the presence of Whey.

WHY WITH DEXTROSE AND WITH WATER? WHY WITH DEXTROSE AND WITH WATER? Dextrose increases insulin secretion, so you need a little less whey, but do not go below 20g whey for protein synthesis. When taking Whey with water, presence of fat in milk must be considered as it can slow down the effect of Whey.

WHY AFTER THE TRAINING? WHY AFTER THE TRAINING? Studies have shown that post-workout intake improves recovery and helps build muscle. The protein arrives in the cells in about 45 minutes. Here you should also be cautious of having little fat in the shake and relatively drink it on an empty stomach. Theoretically, you can also organize the entire protein intake during the day via Whey Shakes.

WHAT IS WHEY ISOLATE? WHAT IS WHEY ISOLATE? It is obtained by an ion exchange process and thereby other substances can bind to the protein. Microfiltration ensures a higher level of purity, which means less fat and carbohydrates in the powder. Protein content of 91-97% is expected, but an isolate makes more sense in a diet that is already going towards the end, and calories going down already.

WHAT IS VITAMIN D3? WHAT IS VITAMIN D3? Vitamin D3 is a group of fat-soluble vitamins that are part of the Secosteroids. Where do you get vitamin D3 from? You can take it through the food. It is increasingly found in fatty fish. Other foods have low vitamin D3. You can also get this from sunlight or UVB radiation formed through the skin. Having about 20-30 of this is enough per day.

WHAT IS IT NEEDED FOR? WHAT IS IT NEEDED FOR? It is vital and involved in thousands of regulatory processes in human body cells. It reduces the risk of disease and cancer in the body. Thus favors a healthy body. It also has a positive effect on the cardiovascular system and protects against heart attacks.

VITAMIN D3 DEFICIENCY? VITAMIN D3 DEFICIENCY? In Germany, there is a lack of this vitamin. Where does the problem come from? Many people here on land avoid the sun or simply do not come to the sun through their work, thereby causing a shortage of this vitamin in the body. Many dermatologists talk bad about the sun and should be avoided. Although this might be correct if you make your body available for excessive sunbathing. Staying 30 minutes in the sun does not pose any effect to your body. The next cause is the use of sunscreen, since even at low levels the formation of vitamin D3 is prevented. It is sometimes advisable to consult a doctor to check if there are any deficiencies in the blood.
