Proteins can be broadly classified as either "fast" or "slow" depending on their rate of absorption (Boirie et al., 1997). Fast proteins increase blood amino acid concentrations in a rapid, yet transient manner, which produces an increase in protein synthesis with little change in muscle breakdown
(Boirie et al.,1997). Slow proteins are digested gradually and result in a more gradual release of amino acids into the blood stream. This effectively maintains blood amino acid concentrations and may prevent muscle breakdown via an anticatabolic effect. The unique protein blend in BSc High Protein Bar is formulated to contain both fast and slow protein components.
