I posted earlier today about my first time experience with a detox and I talked a little about the protein shakes I drink. I mentioned that it contains green tea and a reader sent me a question regarding what company it’s from.
Here is a picture:
With the addition of green tea extract, it also contains Micellar Casein, CLA, and L-Carnitine. Here is the full list of the benefits:
One of casein’s key attributes is that it is digested slowly. In digestion, when a protein hits the stomach, it starts hydrolyzing the bonds of the amino acids in the polypeptide chain of the protein. Casein slows that down by causing the curdling, where the protein folds up on itself, so the amino acids come off more slowly. research shows that taking casein before, during and after exercise — or anytime, really — effectively supports muscle protein synthesis and also boosts endurance and strength gains.
CLA increases lean body mass while reducing overall body fat mass. The improved muscle to fat ratio is believed to stem from improved insulin sensitivity. Improved insulin sensitivity allows fatty acids and glucose to easily move toward muscle cells and away from fat issues, resulting in an increase of total energy in fat and muscle tissue. The increase of total energy in the cells enhances fat metabolism in muscle and fat cells leading to reduced body fat and increased muscle.
and lastly Carnitine is a potent fat burner because it is responsible for the transport of fats into the cells to be used for energy in the body. By raising the level of muscle carnitine, you support the fat burning process, and because your body becomes more efficient at processing fuel, it will increase your energy levels. Elevating carnitine will also improve physical performance by burning more fat, sparing glycogen, clearing muscle lactate, and increasing anabolic hormone response.
