There are 20 protein amino acids, and their precise sequence in the chains determines the form and function of proteins. Since the body is unable to synthesise some of them, called <strong>essential amino acids<\/strong>you need to take them in every day through the<strong>power supply<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>What is protein powder?<\/h2>\n<p>Le <strong>protein powder<\/strong> are nothing more than proteins extracted - i.e. separated from the other components found in food - from both animal sources, such as eggs and dairy products, and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fondazioneveronesi.it\/magazine\/articoli\/alimentazione\/proteine-vegetali-ecco-gli-alimenti-che-ne-contengono-di-piu\">vegetables<\/a><\/strong>such as peas and rice, and pulverised.<\/p>\n<p>Protein powders are of <strong>three types<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8211; <strong>protein concentrates<\/strong>whose powder consists of 60-80% protein and the remaining 40-20% carbohydrates and fat. In these cases, the extraction process requires heat, acids and enzymes;<\/li>\n<li>&#8211; <strong>protein isolate<\/strong>. Here, the powder is formed from 90-95% protein, and is obtained by subjecting the extract to a second filtering process, which helps to remove carbohydrates and fats;<\/li>\n<li>&#8211; <strong>protein hydrolysates<\/strong>. In this case, the protein extracts undergo a further 'refining' step and are hydrolysed, i.e. they are broken down into smaller and smaller parts, thus becoming more digestible or requiring shorter digestion times.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2>Protein powder: the types<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>There are various types of protein powder<\/strong>. These differ according to the source(s) from which they are extracted. As specified above, protein powders can be either animal- or vegetable-derived.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a list of the most popular protein powders.<\/p>\n<h3>Milk serum<\/h3>\n<p>Otherwise known as<strong>whey protein<\/strong>\". It is a protein mix obtained from the liquid part of milk (i.e. whey) from cheese processing. It is considered a complete protein source and is easily absorbed. Protein from the <strong>whey<\/strong> are available both concentrated and isolated.<\/p>\n<h3>Casein<\/h3>\n<p>It contains 80% of total protein. Its main characteristic is that it is slowly absorbed, feeding the <strong>muscle mass<\/strong> for longer than other proteins. For this reason, it is mainly taken after a training session to promote the <strong>muscle recovery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Egg white<\/h3>\n<p>It is a complete protein mix, used as a replacement for milk protein for those who are <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/clienti.readmoreadv.it\/naturveg\/en\/le-migliori-proteine-in-polvere-senza-lattosio-top-4\/\">allergic to dairy products<\/a><\/strong>. Being low in carbohydrates, protein powder from the<strong>egg white<\/strong> are perfect for those on a diet <strong>low carb<\/strong>. They are highly digestible.<\/p>\n<h3>Soya<\/h3>\n<p>For those who lead a <strong>vegan diet<\/strong>soy protein powder is one of the most popular. As a source capable of supplying all the amino acids required by the body, it is perfect for satisfying the <strong>protein requirements<\/strong> of the body. It is in fact widely used by sportsmen and women.<\/p>\n<h3>Pea<\/h3>\n<p>Another excellent source of protein is peas, which contain <strong>arginine<\/strong>, an amino acid that releases insulin and growth hormones. But pea protein powder is also rich in other amino acids that stimulate the production of <strong>muscle proteins<\/strong>. Furthermore, data from some studies show that it lowers the <strong>blood pressure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Hemp<\/h3>\n<p>Protein powder from <strong>hemp<\/strong> contain all the essential amino acids and are easily <strong>digestible<\/strong>. Hemp is also an excellent vegetable source of essential fatty acids, antioxidants, <strong>vitamins<\/strong>, minerals, fibre, chlorophyll.<\/p>\n<h3>Rice<\/h3>\n<p>Another protein powder widely used in vegan diets is that derived from rice. The <strong>rice protein<\/strong>in fact, are known to increase the strength and recovery of muscles when doing regular <strong>physical activity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Mixed protein powder<\/h3>\n<p>This type of protein powder is widely used because it combines the <strong>benefits<\/strong> of different protein sources, making it a 100% complete protein mix.<\/p>\n<h2>Coeliacs: protein powder, is there gluten?<\/h2>\n<p>Whether you use protein powders of vegetable origin or consume those of animal origin, <strong>there is a possibility that the powder contains gluten<\/strong>. How can you tell if a protein powder supplement is for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanitas.it\/malattie\/celiachia\/\">celiacs<\/a><\/strong>? Simple, just look at the label and search for those where it is specified that they are <strong>gluten free<\/strong>. Avoid, even if the specified ingredients appear to be gluten-free, using protein powders that do not explicitly state 'gluten-free'.<strong>gluten-free<\/strong>\".<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16776\" src=\"https:\/\/clienti.readmoreadv.it\/naturveg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/gluten_easy_bnr.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clienti.readmoreadv.it\/naturveg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/gluten_easy_bnr.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/clienti.readmoreadv.it\/naturveg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/gluten_easy_bnr-150x45.jpg 150w, https:\/\/clienti.readmoreadv.it\/naturveg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/gluten_easy_bnr-570x171.jpg 570w, https:\/\/clienti.readmoreadv.it\/naturveg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/gluten_easy_bnr-470x141.jpg 470w, https:\/\/clienti.readmoreadv.it\/naturveg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/gluten_easy_bnr-768x230.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Coeliacs: vegetable protein powder<\/h2>\n<p>Coeliacs, i.e. those who are intolerant to gluten, usually find it more difficult to obtain certain <strong>nutrients<\/strong> through food, as they cannot eat certain types of food.
