Whey Protein Hydrolysates are the Past! Salmon Protein Hydrolysate Can Deliver Protein Even Faster, But Does This Also Mean They Are More "Anabolic"?
That's salmon, yes, but it's not processed enough to compete with any hydrolysate. Well, unless you decide to eat and regurgitate it - after some time, obviously, 'cause "hydrolyzed" proteins are in the end only pre-digested proteins. As a SuppVersity reader you know that the amount of protein is not the only determinant of the potential muscle building effects of a given protein source. The digestion time and thus the amount of protein that is released into the bloodstream on a "per minute"-basis, as well as the amino acid profile (preferably all essential amino acids ( EAA s) and a high amount of leucine ) are also important determinants of the " anabolic " qualities of a given protein source. Using a quite unique multi-compartmental dynamic model that closely simulates in vivo gastrointestinal tract digestion in humans scientists from the Institute of Nutrition and Functional Foods (INAF) at the Université Laval in Quebec, di...
