How fast does muscle grow with Protein Powder?
While results may not always be fast, creating a solid training routine while supplementing your protein intake should show you noticeable muscle gains in a few weeks to several months. Unfortunately taking 30 grams of protein a day does not on its own build muscle. However combined with working our your muscles, protein powder provides the building blocks for growth.
When your muscles get worked out the muscle fibers undergo trauma. When they are injured in this way, satellite cells on the outside of muscle fibers become activated to repair damage by joining together to create new muscle fibers. Protein from protein powder provides the building blocks for these cells to form. This ready supply of protein is broken down into amino acids in the body for new cells to be made. When your body can not provide these amino acids it reduces the speed with which your body can produce muscle growth. Protein powder can speed up the process of muscle growth by ensuring your body has this ready supply of amino acids when needed.
