The best lean muscle gains can be seen by those using the best supplements available to them. Protein may be the most obvious supplement required after someone participates in strength training. Anytime you go to the gym and work your muscles until they fatigue you’ll need to replenish your body with the right amount of protein and branched-chain amino acids, allowing your body to use those raw ingredients to build more lean muscle mass.

It’s very important to buy the right protein as well. Unfortunately not every protein is created equally, so you should read the label to make sure you’re getting as many high quality ingredients as possible. You also want to make sure there is as little filler as possible so that your body is getting just what it needs, and nothing more.

A couple things to be on the lookout for include: sugar and carbohydrates. Sugar should ideally be non-existent on the nutritional label, as it usually only leads to bloating. Carbohydrates also shouldn’t make up more than a few grams per serving, as they serve no purpose in a protein supplement unless it is a meal replacement or weight gainer mix.

Quality protein supplements usually contain a complex matrix of several different types of protein. Every type of protein has its own specific benefits, making it unique and helpful in different ways. Characteristics such as their release times will vary, along with the amount of amino acids each source contains.

Micro filtered proteins release within just a couple hours, making them ideal just after a workout. Filtered proteins and egg proteins are released for about two-to-three hours. Milk proteins keep your body sustained for about 4-6 hours, and caseinate and micellar alpha beta-caseins will last for 6-8 hours.

By using a protein supplement that is able to sustain you for most of the day allows you to worry less about how much and how often you need to have a protein shake, and let you focus on your workout. Timing when you have your protein shakes is still important though, especially if you really want to maximize your body’s ability to develop lean muscle. The convenience of only needing to drink a protein shake in the morning and one at night is what makes multi-protein containing protein supplements so popular.
