As for protein drinks mentioned above. Its not that simple. 1st off which type:
1. Milk
2. Soy
3. Pea, hemp etc.
For milk: there is
1. Whey concentrate (typically 34%)
2. Whey isolate (over 80%)
3. Casein
4. Milk protein
5. Colostrum
6. Hydrolyzed (partially digested)
7. Cow, sheep, goat whey
8. Etc.
Then you have undenatured vs denatured due to processing ie cold cfm whey or heat process
Then you have all the additives like carragean, artifical flavor and toxic colorants
Then take into consideration that pasteurization kills and makes milk sterile so its really only useful as a source of calcium and poor one at that.
So its not exactly easy.
Their is one source buts it highly expensive and used for aids and chemo etc patients in powder form. If you look hard enough, you'll probably come across it. Its listed in the pdr - physician drug bible. I believe its $125 for 10 or 20 sachets.
Yes its a source of amino's but for gh you need higher levels then what occurs naturally in milk. Milk is considered an inflammatory food, not exactly what you want to do during nbe. If you do, add probiotics and digestive enzymes in the shake. Whey should never be considered a natural food.. It underfoes so much processing what's left is hardly anything found naturally.
Its the immunoglobins within whey at a very small percentage that responsible for growth factors.
The single best method for gh enhancement is to get 3 rem cycles ie 7+hours consecutive slee, low cortisol. That will produce enough to take of any nbe program you have.
Synthetic gh can cause bone growth, organ growth, diabetes so stay away from it as well as igf1.
Thank you, I might add my head is in a spin right now!
As far as the protein drinks, I always try to go for one A -from a health shop, as natural as possible, with least amount if any additives etc , B- high in amino acid content.
When its whey I've brought it in from overseas - from organic sources, currently I'm taking a soy based one (also from a health shop but wasn't able to bring in the organic whey).
I have tried a natural pea protein before. I am very cautious to always buying protein powders that have the least amount of processing and/or artificial ingrediants.
May I ask what type do you think is best suited with a high amino content? whey/pea/soy?
I don't see myself doing any strenuous exercise, due to other family/work commitments and most of all IM SOO SLIM! I cant afford to loose any weight really.
I do apologise if it seems like this is all over my head (which is is) but I'm trying to get myself a good basis for a programme so I only need to do this once and not for an extended period of time because I haven't covered all my bases
As far as I'm going I am:
-massaging
-noggle
-herbal based programme with galactalogue type herbs (?) WY SP Bles Thist Dong Q Fennel Fenugreek
-protein via meat-protein drinks/aminos for hgh..(and or sleep as advised thank you)- may have to set myself up in another room for 3 nights in order to get this - thank you snoring hubby ..!
-gingko for circulation
Thank you for your input, Lookingforward and Tina, if you had any suggestions I am open and will re read what you have written, I will start jotting down too so I don't ask the same questions again.
