testosterone uptake39. Additionally, resistance-trained adults who supplemented with LCLT experienced significantly less muscle damage following an acute bout of resistance exercise40. a A few companies have already taken advantage of the science behind l-theanine and its GRAS status. Vitaminwater b-relaxed with l-theanine from Glacéau is designed to help the body deal with stress and promote relaxation. Whey and Other Protein Sources Whey protein has one of the highest protein digestibility corrected amino acid scores (PDCAA)—a measure of both how well a protein is digested and how well it supplies the amino acids needed by an adult. Whey also contains one of the highest amounts of leucine, which may be the key amino acid for stimulating muscle hypertrophy, decreasing muscle breakdown and bolstering weight loss. In addition to the well-established role of whey protein in simulating muscle protein synthesis, whey also seems to boost weight loss. A recent study supported the results from a 2006 trial indicating that the addition of whey protein, with no other dietary modifications, helps boost weight loss for those engaging in a supervised resistance and endurance training program. In this particular 10-week study, subjects received a nutrition supplement containing 300 calories and 40g of protein once day for two weeks and twice a day for the remaining eight weeks. After 10 weeks, the supplemented group saw significant decreases in total cholesterol and LDL (12.0% and 13.3%) and significant increases in muscle mass. Both groups showed a decrease in fat mass, but the exercise- and food-supplement group showed a significantly greater decrease in fat mass (-9.3% vs. -4.6% in the exercise-only group)41. In addition to those who are lactose-intolerant (many of whom many not realize that whey protein isolate is practically lactose-free), vegans and those who are allergic to milk proteins will opt for other protein sources. Whey may have a superior PDCAA, but soy protein does increase muscle protein synthesis42 (though probably not to the same extent as whey). Egg, rice and hemp protein are additional choices.
