How fast does it work?

How fast does it take for the body to absorb protein ?

That depends on the source. Whey protein isolate is, for example, is quicker than steak. But it's not really an issue in the way some imagine it is. If it was we'd all be dead.

does not matter in the slightest.

you are falling for the 80's style bs that was pushed in magazines that you have to get an absurd amount of protein

There's gonna be some aminos floating about from a meal hours ago

Your body starts digesting and absorbing whatever you eat as soon as it's ingested but it takes 2-10 hours to fully digest the protein source depending on which source.

Something like whey is very fast digesting. Something like steak is very slow digesting
