Hello, I'm nutritionist Son Sejong
When you work-out
What do you eat to prevent losing muscles?
Yeah, it's protein
Usually, for having protein
you have chicken breast, boiled eggs and protein powder
But they are easy to get tired of
and preparing them is bit of a chore
Recently, protein drinks getting popular for its convenience and good taste
There're a lot of protein drinks in convenience stores, aren't they?
Today, I am going to introduce
Five protein drinks which are nutritious balanced
And how to choose protein drinks wisely
(Healthckers)
Seeing lables of protein supplements, drinks
You could find many unfamiliar words
WPC, MPC, ISP
their names are a bit like MBTI
Speaking simply
It is a difference from protein composition and manufacture process
Normally, the protein of protein drinks is
extracted from milk
Generally, there are two types: whey protein and casein protein
How to proportionate protein
makes the type of protein
First of all, the basic type
It includes both whey protein and casein protein
(MPC - Milk Protein Concentrate) It is called MPC
When lactose is removed from this
(MPI - Milk Protein Isolated) It makes MPI
When the lactose is removed
Those who have lactose intolerance
can have it without worries
Second, whey protein, which
Consists only of concentrated whey
It is WPC(Whey Protein Concentrate)
Through the process removing of lactose
It can be WPI
(Choose for personal conditons and tastes) Which is better of these protein
There's no big difference
You could choose it for your condition
In digestion and absorption, whey protein is faster
and casein protein is a little bit slower
But it has long lasting protein composition
So whey protein is absorbed faster
that it is good to have before or middle of work-out
If you need to care having protein continuously
It is recommended to have casein protein
Today, I brought
Five protein drinks
(Ta-da) This is it
Take-fit Max
Protein
Dr. You Pro
Selex Profit
Himmune Protein Balance Active
Protein drinks are actually less cost-effective
But it has the advantage of being easy to get
That's why I chose the product range that is easily available at convenience stores
Other than that, nutritionally
Protein content of at least 20g
It's called the three amino acids BCAA
At least 4,000 mg
It's a protein of relatively high quality and has a high absorption rate in the body
I chose a product with animal protein as the main ingredient
Lastly, each product tastes different
I chose it based on
The most popular chocolate flavor
What nutritional characteristics they have
Let me take a look
(Wait a minute) Before that, our producer told me
To do a blind test
I prepared one by one
Since they are prepared for me
Let me proceed with the blind test
(3x speed)
In general
Whatever I choose
I can eat it deliciously
That's what I thought
(Son's one pick is) Among them
Third
(Not to be confused when checking) I'd like to check it out
The reason why I chose the third one is because
Since it's a protein drink, I personally
Prefer a heavy drink rather than a light one
So I chose the third one
I chose
The third product that's delicious
After I'll tell you what's special about other products
Let's see if it's
The same as the one I chose
I'll find out in a moment
Stop the loss of muscle!
First, it's a Take-Fit Max from Namyang
It's 2,900 won
If you look at the nutritional composition
It's 100 calories and 21 grams of protein
It's low in both sugar and fat, so it's very light
The products that come out these days
Have controlled their sugar levels
The most important protein ingredients
Consists of three components: MPC, MPI, and ISP
(MPC, MPI are animal proteins) The first two are animal proteins
And ISP is a plant-based protein extracted from soybeans
It contains lactose-decomposed milk, so it is okay for people with lactose intolerance to eat it
And if you look at the product package
It says 4,300mg of BCAA
Here, BCAA refers to 3 of the 9 essential amino acids our body needs
Which help with muscle production and activity
Leucine, gallin, and isoleucine
Usually, if BCAA is
Over 4,000mg, it is okay
(Takefit Max BCAA content passed) I think this is okay
Protein drinks are actually mostly similar in composition
And it is not easy to differentiate them with slight differences in the mixing
That is why manufacturers
Seem to be trying hard to
Supplement something different
(Takefit Max's strength EAA) In that sense, this product seems to be highlighting EAA
At first, I wondered what EAA 9,000mg was
EAA: 9 essential amino acids, a component that combines BCAA and the remaining 6 amino acids
You can simply think of it as
A product that contains all 9 essential amino acids
(Tasting time) Then I will try it
When I ate it
(Sweet and not too sweet cocoa taste) It felt very sweet, like cocoa, so it wasn't heavy
When I saw people around me
They said it tasted like powdery cocoa powder
Taste like powder
(It tasted clean and not gritty) But when I ate it, it tasted very clear
Next, 'THE:Danbaek' from Binggrae
The price is 2,900 won
It's the same price as Take-fit Max, which I explained earlier
Total calories are 105kcal
And protein is 20g
As expected, it's low in sugar with 0.8g
And fat with 0.6g
Question here! How much protein should we have?
The answer is
It depends on my weight
You should consume 1g of protein per 1kg of your body weight
However, if you exercise
You need to supplement more protein than usual
To prevent muscle loss
Depending on the intensity of the exercise and your health
You can supplement 0.5 to 2 times
The protein type of this product is MPC
And it contains both whey and casein proteins
So, people with lactose intolerance may have trouble digesting this product
It contains 4,000mg of BCA
So I think it's just enough
Other than that
I don't think there's a special feature of this product
(Tasting time) I'll try 'THE:Danbaek'
It's more chocolatey and sweeter
than the previous one, Take-Fit Max
Do you know Jetty?
I heard it tastes the same
with Jetty and milk
(Tastes similar to chocolate milk) Honestly, I think it'll be the same as chocolate milk if I eat it blindfolded
The third one is Dr.You PRO from Orion
This product is 2,900 won, too
The total calories are 151kcal
It has protein 24g
It contains the highest amount of protein and calories
out of the five products
The sugar content was less than 1g
But the fat content is 3.9g
Which is relatively high compared to other products
The protein type is MPI with lactose removed
There are 19 different types of amino acids
and out of them, BCAA is 5,000mg
(Contains calcium to help maintain muscle function) It also contains 500mg of calcium
Calcium helps improve exercise function
So it's good for people who work out
(Tasting time)
You know chocolate ice cream favor
It's like melted that ice cream
It's very sweet
and it's between chocolate and cocoa
(Apart from the sweet taste, the last taste is dry) The last taste is a bit dry
I thought it was a protein drink, as well
So keep that in mind when you choose it
What's unfortunate is that
When you look at protein drinks, there's a 2+1 event at convenience stores
(Only Dr.You PRO doesn't have a discount on these five products) Dr.You products don't have 2+1 events
I think this part is a bit of a bummer
(Healthckers) I'm going to work out my muscles from now on
The fourth product is the Himmune Protein Balance Active
This product is 2,900 won, too
They're all the same
The total calories are 135kcal
It has 20g of protein
The sugar content was the highest at 4g
It has a relatively high fat content of more than 3g
The protein type is basically MPC
They added goat oil protein in that
This product contains
all 9 essential amino acids
Among them, BCAA is 4,500mg so it is suitable
Plus, it contains vitamins and minerals as well
It should be good for those
who don't take multivitamins
(Tasting the drink)
It has proper amount of chocolate flavor and softness
(But fishy taste and smell) It has a fishy taste that other products don't have
So some people might not like it
Lastly, we have Selex Profit
It costs 2,900 won as well
(The prices are all the same like it's planned) Maybe they are united
Prices are all the same
It has 100kcal
and 20g for protein
and 0g for fat
Fat has 0.7g so it seems relatively low
The protein type of this product is MPI
You can have it even though you are sensitive to dairy products
I like this one because
There are options for protein types
It means they have the same protein dose but different types with WPI
It is 330ml, which is a bit more
so the price is 3,300 won
If you see BCAA
The MPI one is 4,200mg
and the WPI one is 4,800mg so it is good
(Gulp Gulp)
I think I picked
this one on the blind test
Because the mocha flavor has been added to the chocolate flavor
(Mocca neutralizes the fishy taste) Protein drinks have fishy taste
It is good that it hides the fishy taste
(Mr Son's pick out of five drinks is)
(Drum roll)
(Selex Profit) I would pick Selex Profit
Since the mocha flavor has been added to the chocolate flavor
It tastes sweeter and tasty
and nutritionally low in sugar and fat
It has low calories so the overall balance is good
When you see the line up
There are WPI products as well, so I think it's a good one because you have other options
Everyone do you remember
that I did a blind test at the beginning?
Let me show you the product
that I picked earlier
(Drum roll) Which product is it
(Blind test pick Take-Fit Max, After review pick Selex Profit) See?
They taste almost the same
Even though I did a blind test
but came out differently like this
(Can purchase based on your preferences) You can make a purchase and try them
Based on your own preferences
or your preferred brands
(Take-Fit Max / The:Danbaek / Dr.You PRO)
(Hiimune Protein Balance Active / Selex Profit)
(Healthckers)
We analyzed five kinds of
protein beverages, how did you find them?
How did you find
that we looked at
the ingredients and contents in detail
They look different, right?
That means a good protein beverage is
something you can choose based on
your daily habits and workout intensity
The important thing in here is
protein beverage is just another beverage
You will not gain muscles just by drinking this
But if you drink this as a supplement
While working out consistently
It will speed up the post-workout recovery
and decrease muscle fatigue
The most important thing is
don't forget that you will get the full benefit of a workout
through developing a daily workout habit
and strict diet and limit caloric intakes
(If you have any health-related questions, leave them in the comments!) I hope you enjoy taking care of your health based on what we covered today
Bye everyone
