Question 1

amino acid 2222 tabs shuld be taken before taking whey protein or after taking whey protein?

Accepted Answer

Best taken separate: Amino acids compete for absorption with one another. Thus, if you take them at the same time as whey protein they will be somewhat less well-absorbed than if taken separately. I would advise taking them at least one hour apart from each other, but it probably doesn't matter which you take first. I advise whey from grass-fed cows processed at low temperature for maximum benefit.

Question 2

should i get amino acid or whey protein for proper muscle gain during body building? i've just started and 1.77 tall and 75 kg.

Accepted Answer

Whey protein: Whey protein or egg Albumin (if not allergic).

Question 3

docs, how can i gain muscle fast? without taking any food supplements like whey protein, amino acid etc..

Accepted Answer

Wt lifting exercise: The best and most effective way to gain muscle mass is weight training daily.
Spend more time and workout in the gym.  That what mr. Americas do.

Question 4

i have started weight lifting at the gym and my muscle repair is taking long. i am currently using whey protein with bccas. should i take glutamine? can i also use aminos in conjunction with glutamine to perform at my best ?

Accepted Answer

Muscle "repair" or : pain will not respond to amino acids. Not clear what you mean by repair? If referring to muscle pain/aching. myoglobin will be released from injured muscle tissue. Your best bet is to lay off weights and switch to low and high impact aerobics. Have a physician check your urine for  signs of myoglobinuria and excessive proteinuria. Definitely back off the amino acids for 7-10 days: should be fine.

Question 5

are whey or protein-amino acid drinks good for losing weight while working out or more for gaining weight/muscle?

Accepted Answer

Muscle/Gain Weight?: These are promoted for assisting in building muscle which require the Amino Acid building blocks for muscle protein. The usefulness of whey proteins for promoting this from small clinical trials, is small, maybe a few % over foods. Maintaining muscles does require more daily energy, so to the extent that muscle mass ; strength significantly increase, this might assist reduction in body fat.

Question 6

can all whey protein isolates have amino acids in their nutrition sheet?

Accepted Answer

Whey Protein: All protein is made up of Amino Acids in various combinations. Whey protein isolate is the most pure form (contains 90% or more protein) and it has little to no fat, lactose or cholesterol. Whey protein concentrate has anywhere between 29 - 89% protein. 
60% of whey protein is essential amino acids. See this website for aas:

Question 7

can you please explain the function of whey protein and also amino acids ?

Accepted Answer

To...: Build or rebuild the human body. Muscle and organs, blood, etc. Primarily protein. They are in perpetual regowth and repeair.  If you want to increase muscle mass, it is essential. The absolute minimum protein requirement is 50-60 grams per day in an adult.  Higher for teens and athletes!

Question 8

i'm vel & age is 26. i'm doing gym alternative days. right now i'm taking whey protein after workout. can i take amino acids tab while doing gym?

Accepted Answer

Amino acid tabs: are likely not necessary if your are taking whey protein.  Please make sure to eat enough protein directly from food and also take good fat to burn as fuel.  This would be eggs and things such as coconut oil and olive oil.  If you want to go further you can get a Micronutrient Test from Spectracell Lab in Texas.  Check out their website.  Peace and good health.

Question 9

i'm an athlete. could daily consume of whey protein+amino acids cause dependency in the future?

Accepted Answer

NO: You are already dependent on protein- we all need a certain amount of essential Amino Acids for good health. Taking when protein or other Amino Acids will neither increase nor decrease the amount that your body needs, except that as you develop more muscle mass you may need a bit more protein over time to maintain those muscles- but i would not consider that "dependency.".

Question 10

does amino acids and whey protein causes problems in kidneys?

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: All available studies have revealed no conclusive evidence to cause kidney damage although possible increased risk of renal stone and possible stress onto the already sick kidneys. Generally speaking, their use for ordinary healthy kidneys should be okay and poses no known risk to the kidneys. More? To http://www.livestrong.com/article/261806-whey-protein-kidney-damage/.
