It takes over three hours to break down and assimilate proteins. Protein molecules are long chains with well-soldered links, and to break down their resistance requires the combination of good chewing and a barrage of various gastric, pancreatic, and biliary juices.

How much better is it to have a protein shake before a workout?

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.


Why doesn't boiled pepsin break down gelatin?

Gelatin is almost entirely protein. As pepsin is a protease, its job is to facilitate the break down of protein into amino acids. When the enzyme is boiled, it becomes denatured, which prevents it binding to the substrate. As a result of this, the digestion of gelatin cannot take place, so the digestion of gelatin ceases.
