Phosphatidic Acid Reduces Whey-Induced Acute Protein Synthesis - Rodent Study Appears to Suggest Antagonism Not Synergism Between PA & Whey - What's the Verdict?
If we take the study at hand as a bench-mark, it appears as if you cannot really recommend PA supplements to serious gymrats. Due to a bunch of short-comings and a lot of open questions, I have to caution you not to jump to preliminary & potentially flawed conclusions. If you are a "regular" here, at the SuppVersity, you will have heard about the mTOR-promoting effects of Phosphatidic Acid (PA) before ( learn more ). If you've also been following the SV News on Facebook , you will also know that I have repeatedly highlighted that we need studies that go beyond the mere provision of phosphatidic acid to mouse or man and assess whether adding PA to whey will ameliorate the whey-protein induced increases in protein synthesis, muscle and strength gains. Why would that be important if we do have studies that indicate that PA is effective? Well, anyone who even remotely considers paying the $$$ for a PA product will already be taking whey protein. If adding PA o...
