Protein

A milk protein isolate is a mixture of all of the proteins found in milk (namely, a variety of whey proteins and casein). This type of protein is quite good due to its strong amino acid composition derived from both its whey and casein components. It probably does retain some of the functional properties of both casein and whey. Often found in meal replacement powders and sports nutrition bars. There is of course the argument that milk in the form of cows milk was nature designed for cows and not humans and so is distinctly different to our human needs. Certainly blood groups O and A will probably have problems tolerating milk proteins of any kind, although conclusive research in this area is still to be carried out. Not all of this research is fully conclusive and has been linked to other foods being intolerated by certain blood groups. It is probably best to avoid all foods that cause any stomach problems and so of course try this protein source to see if it is tolerated by your body.

There are 4 calories in every gram of protein.

Most athletes require around 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight. Some athletes, especially those with a fast metabolism may need higher amounts from 1.5 to 2 grams per pound of body weight. This fact is often disputed among scientists, companies and athletes, often being cited much lower at 1g per kg of bodyweight being the maximum requirement. Of course this would depend on a number of factors including training intensity, frequency, absorption, quality of protein etc, specific supplementation designed to absorb more protein, drug use etc.

Susan Lowe Question

Milk Isolate: If you are lactose intolerant can you drink products containing milk protein isolates

Answer

Susan, milk protein isolates can vary in lactose content. Most of the better quality isolates should be almost entirely free of lactose but in practice you will still find a very small amount creeps in through even the most stringent isolation processes. It will generally depend on HOW lactose intolerant you are. It's an odd condition which varies in severity between different individuals. Generally you can try a small amount and see if it suits you. Otherwise you should look at pure whey isolates or vegan proteins.
