protein for post workout? quick absorb vs slow

[Only1eagle]

Been racking my brain but cant seem to find this.

What is used in the post workout drinks? is it just whey that has been made via Ion exchange?

Or should I be looking for something other than whey?
I want something to absorb quick.
thanks

PS (Yea wrong forum but you only ever get 1-2 responses on the diet/food forums)

Post-workout (PW) you are looking for quick and moderate absorbing proteins. Whey combinations of: Isolate and Concentrate, are ideal, along with Ion exchange whey. In addition, dextrose and honey should be a part of your PW shake.

I use soya protein, its much better for you and has loads of amino acids in too.

I wouldn't use flax seed oil because it will slow down your absorption. Whey/dextrose/glutamine is the way to go.

IMO slowing absorbtion is key being that i workout at night about 2-3 hours before bed. Not to mention all the other benefits of flax seed oil. I been using it for about year now and i wouldn't cut it out.

Def disagree on the soy fella...as Mr X & other said...go w/Fast acting Whey/Dextrose & some BCAA...

soy protein promotes to conversion of estrogen.

I work out at night too bro. Your post workout needs require fast absorption to counteract catabolism from breaking down muscle fiber. I use flax and casein about 2 hours later right before I go to bed.
