Concentration Of Protein

skasprack Posts: 4 Joined: 2002/04/21	2002/08/10, 08:39 PM Hello Everyone. I am currently taking M.D. Labs Pro Blend 55 protein that contains 55 grams per serving. Is there anything else out there with a higher concentration?

No I'm sorry I was kidding. 55 gr of proteins seem already quite a lot for me and actually it'll be better for you to take a second shake one hour or so later for the very best absorbtion. -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

I thought it was better to take them more spread out, just like any other meal. How does having a batch of protein already in your system help with the absorption of another batch? Just curious.
