ABSTRACT
Protein can be hydrolyzed, producing small chains of amino acids called peptides. Several studies have shown that protein hydrolysates containing mostly di- and tripeptides are absorbed more rapidly than free form amino acids and much more rapidly than intact proteins. In addition, there is recent evidence that protein hydrolysate ingestion has strong insulinotropic effect. Thus, recovery sports drinks containing protein hydrolysates may be of great value.

It doesn't pay to wait
If you aren't eating protein after your workout, you may have trained in vain. A study published in the American Journal of Public Health divided 13 people new to exercising into two groups: half ingested a protein drink within five minutes of finishing a workout, and the other half after two hours. At the end of 12 weeks, those who consumed the drink within minutes had a 1.8% increase in lean muscle mass, and those who waited over two hours actually decreased muscle mass by 1.5%. The only difference between the two groups was the time of thier protein intake.
