Egg Protein- Back in the early days, albumen, or egg white, has been used as the main protein source for athletic requirements, such as bulking up on muscle. While other meat was also used, the ease of ingestion as well as the wide availability made it a popular supplement. In time, biotin deficiency and the danger of egg allergies, as well as Salmonella contamination forced the athletes to either cook the eggs, until the fat and cholesterol issue became known. Although chicken eggs provide all essential amino acids for humans, plus Vitamin A, Vitamin B6 and B12, folic acid, riboflavin, and minerals iron, calcium, potassium and phosphorus, the current egg protein supplements contain only the egg whites, purified and no egg yolk, reducing the calorie and cholesterol count significantly.

Flax seed is the seed of the Flax plant. The plant, also known as linseed, is of genus Linum and family Linaceae. Flax seeds are popular for their numerous health benefits, they contain lignans and Omega-3 fatty acids. Lignans are shown to be beneficial for heart disease and to posses’ anti-cancer properties. Flax seeds are particularly believed to benefit people with breast and prostate cancer. Some research also shows that flaxseeds can lower cholesterol levels and stabilize blood-sugar levels. They are also used as a laxative due to their high dietary fiber content; however, excessive consumption may lead to intestinal blockage.

Micellar Casein is an indentured form of casein isolated from ordinary casein protein. It is produced from milk by means of ultra filtration, without the use of chemicals. Research shows that Micellar casein is an extremely slow digesting protein that offers prolonged 7 hour absorption; studies relate prolonged absorption to increased protein synthesis and reduced muscle breakdown. It is preferred over whey because it provides muscles with protein over a long period of time; therefore, more protein is absorbed and used by the muscle. Since it is produced without the use of chemicals it contains more bioactive milk peptides that support immune function as well as enhance muscle growth.

Milk Protein Isolate- Milk has a large number of proteins present in it. A mixture of all the milk proteins is known as a milk protein isolate. This mainly constitutes the casein and whey proteins. Milk protein isolate is very good as it has a strong amino acid mixture from both the casein and whey components. This is generally found in sports nutrition bars and also meal replacement powders. There is some research that states (not yet conclusive) that blood groups O and A will face problems when milk proteins are consumed. This stand rises from the argument that milk from the cow is primarily not meant for human consumption.

Whey Protein Isolate is one of the three mass produced forms of whey protein. It is processed to completely remove fat and lactose, and is also low in bioactive compounds. Whey protein isolate is more then 90% protein by weight. While preparing supplements of whey protein isolate different flavors are also added. It is the ideal type of protein for sportsmen and bodybuilders to provide them with enough protein to fuel their muscles, and promote muscle growth. Whey protein isolate supplements can be taken by lactose intolerant people since they are free from lactose.
