Its better after a workout but you can before also.
It CAN cause unwanted weight gain. Depending on your intake, it will(depending on your intensity of your workout and other meals) add excess weight. Now, what you want to avoid is drinking them at night. It causes a sort of increase in insulin, which lowers blood pressure. An ideal thing to eat before bed is either an Apple, or some cottage cheese.
There is a best before date for every supplement and after which the potency of the product will go down.It is better to finish off your myoplex plus before that date
You don't exactly need a protein shake before your workout. A protein shake is best taken right after you are finished with your workout. After your workout your muscles have begun to break down and the faster you take in some protein the faster your muscles will recover. I would only recommend taking protein at other times of the day if you are not recieving the approximate amount of protein you need through your diet.
No, but it will help
I use Protein before, during, and after. I use ceatine after. It helps keep up the after workout pump.
You can get the best nutrition including protein if you drink whole milk or low fat milk before workout. You would want whey protein before you workout. What brand of protein is up to you but Optimum Nutrition is one of the most popular. I would stay away from the super cheap protein from target and walmart because it usually is lower quality.
After. You need the protein to build your muscles after the workout, not for the energy needed to work out.
casein protein is not fast digesting is slow and its a bed time nutrition but pro complex is fast digesting and its best to take it before! breakfast and after your workout but casein only after workout and before sleep
Actually both..... Pre-workout they provide energy for your workout & potassium to the muscles Post workout recovery they help provide protein which is an essential part of recovery.
It is suggested that you take your protein shake before you eat anything. It is always better to give your body a high protein meal before you eat your regular food.
Yes. Whether it's before or after shouldn't matter too much. Studies have shown a favorable spike in hormones whether protein is taken before or after a workout. Remember that protein takes some time to digest (1-2 hours for whey), so if you have a protein shake just before you a workout it'll only be at maximumabsorption just as you're finishing.
That depends entirely on the contents of your pre-workout supplement. You should always check with your doctor or nutritionist before taking, changing, or combining supplements.
