Does anyone use/heard of plasma protein? I was just reading an article on it in Muscle and Fitness (I know I know), anyway I’m just curious what peoples thoughts are on it?
The article says the plasma protein in generally made from cows blood and the plasma left over after the red blood cells are removed is spray-dried and ground into a powder that 90%+ protein. The protein comes from 2 sources albumin and immunoglobulins.
Sounds good in theory, too preliminary for me to try it at the moment.
It would be interesting to see how this protein stacks up in regards to immune health (Assuming the immunoglobins aren’t destroyed during digestion)
The following studies I found, all done in rats, should be worth noting. It seems to be a pretty nice supplement for intestinal health.
Also, I would imagine that it would be quite expensive at the moment.
I’ve seen it around but have never been too tempted because of A: the price, and B: I can’t imagine it tasting good.
I read the same article yesterday(theres nothing wrong with M&F once you sort through the bullshit). Sounds pretty cool to me. Steak is a king protein source over milk so why wouldn’t concentrated protein sources of the two be the same.
Not saying it’s any “better” than whey, it just seems to make sense to me. Does anyone know some co. that sell this?
