ive heard somewhere that protein powder and milk arent good to mix together.
i really dont believe this.
anyone else know anything about this?
thnx
 
you're correct. what would be the basis of their claims not to mix them

now there is the mistaken belief that we shouldnt have milk pwo but that is untrue also.
 
?? if you want faster absorption then pwo with water is optimal if you want a little slower than milk both are typicaly used at different times (EI= pwo in milk befor bed, and in water post W/O) absorption is about 30 min (in water)
and breakdown is 120min total.
 
if i understand what you are saying, why would mixing in water cause faster absorbtion than mixing with milk? sure, the proteins found in milk absorb slowly, but why would it make a difference what the suppliment is mixed in?
 
thats what im thinking,
sure, casein is a slow absorbing protein... but its not like whey turns into casein once its absorbed with milk.
what i believe would happen is the 9g of protein in the cup of milk would be slowly digested, but the rest of the protein in the shake (being whey) would be absorbed at the same speed it would with water.
wouldnt that make sense?
 
if I remember right the whey will coagulate with the casine and fats in milk, which slows it down, I can't remember the exact process so sorry if this is not scientific enough for you but I know Im right. however I don't know how long it will slow absorbtion, or I completely forgot that fact. o yes nice thinking good questions.
 
so what you are saying is that you cannot, whatsoever, have any milk 30 - 60minutes before or after you have a protein shake?

because if the whey protein is already in you ... drinking milk after or before will apparently coagulate with the whey protein.

the consuming instructions on alot of whey protein powders say mix with water,milk or juice.
ne one else know ne thing about it ?
 
I hope you know there is benefits with slower digestion? so for the most part you want protein in milk if your drinking it for anything else but post workout. so broken down it's like this (post/after workout in water, everything else in milk) "but why I thought the faster you get it in you the better right?" cause the faster it absorbs the faster it's rendered useless to the body, well it's not as simple as that but im not going into detail. I have casein for the times I can't make a meal and use a Meal Replacment Shake (MRS). you should also look at the breakdown time for your protein and not just the digestion. GL
 
It's a tough call; but i can tell you that Whey Protein and Milk gives me gas, and i'm talking noxious...that's enough of a reason to stay away from it.
