Bioactive Proteins: When to take them?

Well, first off, looking at Bovine Serum Concentrate/Isolate at

it says here

both post-workout (fast-digestion) and meal replacement (slow digestion)[/COLOR] products. Athletes using both resistance and endurance training may benefit because of the positive effects on protein utilization and the opportunity for cytokine modulation. Methionine is the limiting amino acid in NutraGammax. For best results, NutraGammax should be a part of a complete, balanced nutritional program."

It also says that it increases the effectiveness of the useage of other amino acids, with methionine as the limiting AA. They say up to 25%, and so let's assume that I wanted 25%. For PWO, I'd be taking it with hydrolyzed protein (PP) and BCAAs. What kind of ratios/doses would you use? For Pre-Bed, I'd be taking MPI, this, and fish oil.

For the record, 180#, 6'3'', 19.

http://www.mskcc.org/mskcc/html/69151.cfm#References seems to suggest that ingestion of bioactive proteins with other food inhibits their proper function- how would you avoid interfering with it in a custom mix? I'm still a bit confused as to how this works.

This past spring, I used a PWO drink of Super Plasma (20%), PeptoPro (20%), HRS (30%) and Oatmuscle (30%), and was very pleased with it (outside of the cost). I think, however, I will be returning to it in the future.

I like your pre-bed formulation ... I plan on creating something similar in a future order.

Welcome to the site!

But in what amounts? Assuming that cost is not an issue, is a 50/50 MPI/BSI mix good?

there is no data saying what amounts to use for superplasma protein. technically you can use whatever you wish. a 50/50 blend of super bovine and milk protein sounds good to me.

Also a so-called bioactive protein like superplasma really is just bullshit. protein powder whethers its super plasma, wheyprotein or egg is just really just plain ol food. alot of supplement company's like to glorify their protein supplements. I dont ( or at least try not too). Mixing protein with food is technically mixing food with food.

hydrolyzed proteins onthe other hand you can sort of remove from the food category. but not really.
