Protein for women
Most women are looking for a protein that has as few carbs and fats as possible, so we recommend dietary protein for women if the goal is weight loss. Most often, proteins intended for women are high in carbohydrates and fats. It is due to the sweet and good taste, possibly intended as a dietary supplement. The female body has certain specifics on the basis of which it is possible to choose the right protein. In this article, we will help you choose the right protein that will meet your requirements, whether you are trying to lose weight, gain weight or need a protein to regenerate after exercise.
Worried about gaining muscle mass in women?
DO WOMEN NEED PROTEIN?
Protein is also essential for women. It often happens that women are afraid to take proteins due to muscle gain. On the contrary, protein promotes weight loss in women, has a low energy value and speeds up metabolism. It is very difficult for women to gain muscle mass, mainly because they lack the important anabolic hormone testosterone.
LACK OF PROTEINS DOES NOT ENSURE WEIGHT LOSS
Insufficient protein intake can result in: Incomplete muscle regeneration after training, which can lead to overtraining, muscle breakdown, slowing metabolism, restoring hormonal balance, disrupting the immune system and disabling important functions for the proper functioning of the body.
WOMEN HAVE A LOWER SHARE OF MUSCLE AND A HIGH SHARE OF FAT DIFFERENT FROM MEN.
Most women try to burn fat but do not want to gain muscle mass. In fact, it is very difficult for a woman to gain muscle mass due to the above-mentioned lack of testosterone. On the contrary, a woman's muscle mass is mostly atrophied. However, strength training with the use of quality protein with minimal sugar and fat content (preferably whey isolate) allows you to strengthen muscle mass and regenerate quickly. Ultimately, the muscles are active and strong. The biggest advantage of this combination is the fact that muscle mass is the largest "consumer" of energy. A woman with strong muscles has a higher basal metabolism, so she still burns energy from fat stores. Also in terms of improving the cardiovascular system, digestion, reducing the risk of osteoporosis, improving blood pressure and improving overall health, a woman needs active muscle mass.
The ideal protein for women trying to lose weight is whey protein isolate or micellar casein.
Whey isolate
Whey isolate is the purest form of whey protein. It has a high biological value and digestibility. Whey isolate contains little or no carbohydrates, lactose and fat. Therefore, it is suitable for women, people on a diet and top athletes. The isolate is one of the fastest absorbing proteins, ideal immediately after training. It has a higher protein ratio compared to whey concentrate. The big advantage is the high content of branched chain amino acids BCAA and excellent taste.
The highest quality whey isolate is obtained by CFM microfiltration (Cross Flow Microfiltered). The process is at low temperature, low pressure and normal pH, which preserves the high biological quality of proteins and peptides. The CFM protein does not come into contact with chemicals and therefore remains intact in its original state, resulting in certain advantages over the ion-exchanged isolate, such as higher calcium content and less sodium.
Advantages:
excellent digestibility and usability (biological value)
fast absorption
high content of branched chain amino acids BCAA
high protein content 85 - 95%
minimal or no content of lactose, fat, carbohydrates
good solubility and excellent taste
preserved lactoferrin content (antiviral, antimicrobial, anticancer and immune effects
without the use of chemicals
support for the production of anabolic growth factor IGF-1
Disadvantages:
relatively higher price compared to other lower quality proteins
Micellar Casein - Micellar casein protein
Casein protein is also known as nocturnal protein. It is the highest quality protein with a gradual release of amino acids. It is well digested with high utilization of protein for muscle cells. Thanks to its gradual and long-term absorption of amino acids (more than 7 hours), it is suitable at bedtime or with low protein intake during the day, thus minimizing the catabolic effect after exercise (muscle mass breakdown). It provides effective muscle regeneration, anabolic effect and a positive nitrogen balance, which are essential for the proper functioning and regeneration of muscle mass. It is suitable for all active people who are trying to gain or maintain muscle mass and regenerate the body, also for women on reduction diets.
Micellar casein is made from fresh milk by an ultrafiltration process. It is separated from the whey by filtration. Unlike calcium casein, it is a gentle process without the addition of chemicals and the use of high temperatures.
Advantages:
high content of L-glutamine and BCAA
anti-catabolic effect (against muscle mass loss)
high content of calcium, phosphorus, potassium and sodium
high protein content 80 - 90%
low in fat, lactose and carbohydrates
good price
ANOTHER SPECIFIC OF THE WOMEN'S ORGANISM IS THE HIGHER LOSS OF MINERALS COMPARED TO THE MEN'S ORGANISM.
Nowadays, many women and men also suffer from various allergies and intolerances, or are vegetarians or vegans. Proteins of plant origin are a particularly good form of protein intake for these people. Rice and hemp are among the highest quality and most popular proteins.
Rice Protein - Rice protein
Rice protein is an excellent protein for vegetarians, vegans and people with various allergies. Women and athletes who try to live healthier and not acidify the body will also find its place. It is also known to be alkaline, which, unlike animal proteins, does not acidify the body. It contains all the essential amino acids (the body cannot make them on its own), which are needed to make muscle tissue, hormones and enzymes, without which we cannot survive. Its amino acid composition is comparable to whey protein and much better than soy protein. It is quickly absorbed, so it is suitable immediately after training.
Rice protein is made by filtering protein and fiber from enzymatically pre-digested whole grain brown rice, including germ and bran. The production process is at low temperatures, without the use of chemicals and acid hydrolysis.
Advantages:
high protein content 80%
excellent digestibility
does not contain gluten, soy, lactose, milk or other allergens
alkaline effect
good taste
high content of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, tocopherol and other substances
good price
high glutamine content
Hemp Protein
Hemp protein is considered the best vegetable protein. It is a rich source of omega 3 fatty acids, all essential amino acids, antioxidants and fiber. Its great advantage is the detoxifying effect. It has beneficial effects on pH balance and does not cause acidification like soy and whey proteins. It is called a complete protein because it is the source of all the amino acids necessary for regeneration. This makes it fully comparable to any animal protein. It is suitable for all active people, vegetarians, vegans and people suffering from allergies.
Hemp protein is made by crushing hemp seeds. Hemp flour and hemp oil are obtained by pressing. The whole-grain hemp flour is then cold-dried and sieved to separate the coarse parts of the bran from the fine hemp powder, which has a high-quality protein content of up to 50%.
Advantages:
excellent digestibility (up to 90%)
high content of omega 3, antioxidants, digestible fiber, vitamins, minerals, enzymes
does not contain lactose, gluten, milk, soy, hexane and other allergens
representation of all amino acids "complete protein"
does not contain THC - has no psychotropic effects
is a source of GLA (omega gamma-linoleic acid)
suitable for vegans and vegetarians
without the use of chemicals
Disadvantages:
worse taste
lower protein content 50%
