lbas still catchin heat lol. great product easy to digest. awesome if you dont have the sessation point of a body builder. switched to em over the summer, and i will never go back to whey.
Yes it is easy to digest, expecilly for people with lactose intolerant.
To understand why LBA is supperior to Whey we have to assume that the types of protein available to sport nutrition companies fall into one of three catagories:
1. protein found in plant sources, mainly soy protein.
2. protein derived from animal sources(excluding milk)
this would include egg-based proteins and those found in meat
3. proteins derived from milk. Though there are other proteins available,they are few in numbers and rerely used.
Soy protein is a big no for athlets. Soy has a lot of fitness and health drawbacks, and the lactose intolerant benifit can be found in other higher quality proteins, such LBA or Miccellar casein. Most importantly, soy contains trypsin inhibitors that reduce the absorption of proteins, (so go easy with the soy sauce on your meats) Soy protein is a very inexpensive protein source that manufacturers choose because they think that you don`t know the difference. Most animal and human studies suggest that soy phytoestrogens can behave just like normal estrogen. For both men and women, increased estrogen levels increase fat storage, reduces fat burning, reduces recovery ability and reduces lean muscle.
The second category includes various proteins found in animal products like eggs and meats. Meat proteins can be dehydrated and used in powder forms just like other proteins. Unfortunately,such proteins are among the worst tasting proteins and fortunately the LBA is flavored for good tast. Animal proteins are complect proteins.
The third catagory, milk proteins, is the largest. Whey proteins are by far the most common proteins currently found in supplements. Finding a protein drink that does not contain whey is difficult these days. The first issue with whey protein is digesting problems. Due to processing issues, whey proteins tend to cause varying degrees of upset stomach in those who drink them. Some whey users resort to using digestive aids(enzymes or medication) to help tolerate this protein and offset the stomach upset is cause.
The second problem with whey proteins is its short lived duration of action.
