Protein Overconsumption and Kidney Burden
June 08, 2018
Anyway, I know you've got other things in the cupboard you're looking at for pre-workout. This is the other thing I'm seeing a lot now. So just in general with overdosing and stuff, people still think they can't overdose on protein like you just see like even that we've seen the the studies that were done on the the germans did a lot of studies trying to work out what the ideal dose of whey was to compare our collagen peptides to and in those studies they screened 10 to 80 grams of whey post-workout found negligible differences they did find about 20 grams of whey was about the right amount and past there you didn't achieve anything else um so these people that have taken this abundance amounts of whey and adding protein into everything that people We just need to realize that what the protein goes in for the amino acids and your muscle. So you get the muscle, the proteins into this. You get the brain effects. You get detoxification effects. But the 50% of the excess is converted through to sugar or something anyway, huh? So that's another common one and adds a lot of burden onto the kidneys and all that sort of stuff if you're going crazy in excess. It's a really hard one to be efficient with that. Again, selling supplements way back when, guys that are 100 kilos would go that 30 grams of protein isn't nearly enough. I'm taking 50 or 60 grams. You know what I mean? And they were looking at not only for post-workout recovery, but also going, well, I need the macros in through the day anyway, because I've got to get my 220, 250 grams of protein and whatever they're trying to get. You know those studies and they talk about high diets They not high diets They protein So anything more than protein is unnecessary huh So what do you do with protein in your clinic Do you work it out per kilo body weight It all depends.
