Whey or albumin?  Figure out which one is best for you

OR serum is the famous supplement that accompanies practitioners of physical activity. These supplemental proteins are extracted from whey and help with hypertrophy. However, there are those who propose a change. After all, according to the sports coach, Leander Twina albumin it is also a good option.

Reason and differences between serum and albumin

“For example, I have some students on lower budgets, who are lactose intolerant and therefore need to consume whey protein isolate. In this case, it is much more convenient to consume albumin, as it will cost half the price of whey protein isolate.” explains Twin.

Leandro then details the difference between albumin and whey. He also stressed that both taste and feedback should be taken into consideration.

“Albumin is a good supplement, it has no cosmetic effect unlike whey protein concentrate, isolate or even hydrolysate, making it a great option for those who need to save money. The taste is worst and we have flatulence responses that should be considered for the individual and everyone in their social environment (laughs),” he points out.

Market growth, better digestion and no flatulence are the benefits, according to Twin. “Today with the advancement of the market, whey protein concentrate is reasonably similar in price to albumin, which makes it a more attractive option, because it tastes better, does not generate flatulence and has a easier digestibility,” he says.

Which is?

Albumin consists only of amino acids and is recognized as the protein of egg white, that is, where it can be identified in huge quantities. Depending on where it is found, albumin can be called ovalbumin (found in egg whites), albumin (found in blood plasma), and lactalbumin (found in milk).

It is another type of substance for the diet of that professional or amateur athlete with the goal of gaining muscle mass. The result of Albumin is a powder with protein content and even possibility to be consumed in capsule format. Another curiosity is that it is used as an ingredient in protein bars.
