Good thinking with the timing but this probably wont work. You see, because the blood flow to the GI during training is poor (all the blood is in the muscles), protein absorption/digestion is also poor. So although whey may start to appear in the blood in 60min under normal circumstances, during training this wont hold up. Also, 60min is when it starts to appear. With hydrolysate, about 70% of the total protein is absorbed within 30 minutes! So it’s a FAR superior choice. About the glucagon, there are several references on medline discussing the release of glucagon in response to protein meals. In addition, it is well known (discussed in most nutrition text books) that insulin and glucagon have opposing actions. Hope that helps…John
John, I have another question. I posted it in the long-ass post workout supp thread, but it got lost. I have placed an order for some whey hydrolysate, but in the meantime, from what I could gather from your article, 2:1 ratio of high GI carbs with protein powder (not hydrolysate) would be a superior postworkout drink than the usual MRP. Though it would be only a fraction of the effectiveness of the product that Biotest would come out with, but nevertheless, better than a regular MRP, right?
