Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 4

Protein supplementation is scientifically validated as beneficial for athletic performance and exercise recovery. Numerous studies have demonstrated that dietary protein supports muscle protein synthesis, promotes muscle repair, and enhances recovery following both resistance and endurance exercise. The International Society of Sports Nutrition and the American College of Sports Medicine both recommend increased protein intake for athletes compared to non-athletes, particularly for those engaging in regular, intense physical activity. Protein ingestion post-exercise has been shown to stimulate muscle protein synthesis, reduce muscle soreness, and support muscle hypertrophy when combined with resistance training. Whey, casein, soy, and other protein sources have all been studied, with whey protein often noted for its rapid digestibility and high leucine content, which is important for muscle repair. While optimal protein dosing and timing can vary, a range of 1.2 to 2.0 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day is commonly suggested for active individuals. Overall, the use of protein supplements as an athletic aid is strongly supported by scientific research, with consistent findings across multiple randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses.
