Most people favour meat as their primary protein sources, since it is a staple in every average Joe’s diet, from the classic burgers, steaks and barbecues, which many justify as just being secondary to their actual purpose of being a good source of protein.
How does protein work?
The first thing to know is to understand the link of proteins and muscle development. The science behind muscle or mass building is anchored on the process that the muscles produce micro damage once it is subjected to stress like stretching, lengthening or shortening that occurs during workouts or exercises.
Protein synthesis works to produce muscle proteins that aids in the recovery of these damages and works to increase mass as a natural process of strengthening the muscle fiber.
Why beef proteins?
Recent studies have shown that beef protein has been compared with other protein sources and have been found to be more effective in muscle –building and fat loss capabilities.
It has high biological value compared to other protein sources for mass gain. Historically, human ancestors thrived on eating meat as their main source of nutrition and sustenance. They contain essential amino acids that are similar to those found in humans, which ensures a more biological protein synthesis for the body.
Quality beef protein isolates are found to contain high quality creatine, B complex vitamins, zinc, manganese and branched chain amino acids that are effective of optimal muscle growth and development.
Although there have been some questions raised as to which part of the cow the isolates were sourced from, suspicions abound that it could be derived from the ‘unwanted’ parts like hooves, ears, internal organs, etc.
Fortunately, there have been no reports of adverse reactions or health problems that have been associated with the consumption of these supplements.
Beef protein isolates is generally made up of 99% protein, which makes it one of the best sources of proteins, where fat and carbohydrates is relatively eliminated.
Since beef is hypoallergenic, it helps eliminate gastrointestinal distress and side effects without any adverse reactions to muscle mass gain.
Separate studies have also been published that support claims that beef is a potent stimulator of muscle protein synthesis and anabolic signaling.
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition have come up with similar research findings to support the claims that cellular responses are essential.
In one of the studies, men and women of college age were asked to volunteer to the tests and were equally divided into groups where they were made to consume a beef protein isolate protein and a maltodextrin placebo on a daily basis, while training five days a week for eight weeks.
The results revealed that those given the beef protein isolates grew more muscle mass compared to those that consumed the placebo. The beef protein isolate group even gained an average of 7.7 pounds of added muscle mass, while those who took the placebo only gained 0.7 pounds.
This makes beef protein isolates one of the best sources of proteins for the body.
