Do you exercise often? As more people think about their health after the coronavirus, #OwunWan (exercise completed today), #3 to 500 #Body Profile, etc. have emerged as trending keywords. At the same time, awareness of the importance of protein intake after strength training seems to have increased significantly.
There are many people around me who exercise a lot. Many people drink protein drinks after exercising. I have also started receiving personal training (PT) and am trying a variety of protein drinks.
However, when I looked at protein drinks, I saw that even though they are the same brand, some products are thick like milk, and other products have a formula that can be drunk like water. Each product line contains different types of proteins, such as balanced animal-vegetable protein, whey protein isolate, and milk protein isolate. Then I suddenly became curious. Are there differences in function or effect depending on the type of protein?
Let’s eat protein
We heard from Maeil Dairy, which first introduced the concept of protein health functional food with ‘Sellex’ in 2018, about the reason for applying different proteins to each product line. In conclusion, this is because functions differ depending on the type of protein.
First, let’s find out the difference between animal protein and vegetable protein. Different companies have different claims about whether animal protein or vegetable protein is better. Animal protein is rich in essential amino acids and has a high digestion and absorption rate of 90%, but it is high in saturated fat, which can increase cholesterol levels if consumed in excess.
Ryu Shin is also something to pay attention to. A variety of protein products are listed as containing leucine. Leucine is the most important essential amino acid in muscle synthesis and is said to be more abundant in animal proteins.

On the other hand, vegetable protein is good for digestion and absorption, low in saturated fat and cholesterol, and rich in phytochemicals (phytochemicals that act as antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, and detoxifiers) and fiber, but it is lacking in some of the nine essential amino acids, so it must be supplemented with other foods. You should.
Experts advise that it is important to consume animal protein and vegetable protein in a 1:1 ratio. The explanation is that only by consuming a balanced diet of animal and vegetable proteins can a steady supply of essential amino acids be provided to the body.
So, when you look at protein drink products, they often contain a mixture of animal protein and vegetable protein. Maeil Dairy Products’ ‘Selex Drinking Protein Drink’, Daesang Well Life’s ‘My Meal New Protein’, and Namyang Dairy Products’ ‘Take Fit’ emphasize that they are designed with balanced animal-vegetable proteins.
There are many types of milk protein.
Although there are countless animal protein ingredients, most of the recent ‘protein drinks’ in the food industry use animal protein derived from milk as the main ingredient. This is why the dairy industry stands out in this market.
However, not all proteins are the same just because they come from milk. The most commonly used are milk protein concentrate (MPC) and milk protein isolate (MPI). Both are milk proteins that contain whey and casein. Depending on the degree of removal of non-protein components such as lactose and fat, if the protein content is more than 85%, it is separated into isolated milk protein, and if it is less than 85%, it is separated into concentrated milk protein.
Ildong Foodis’ ‘Hymune Protein Balance Active’, which has the largest share in the protein beverage market, contains concentrated milk protein. According to Ildong Foodis, concentrated milk protein has the advantages of both whey, which quickly supplies amino acids to muscles, and casein protein, which supplies amino acids slowly and continuously.

For this reason, Ildong Foodis emphasizes that it is the highest quality protein as it has the highest amino acid score standard set by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. The amino acid score is a measure that can be used to check whether the nine essential amino acids are contained in appropriate proportions.
On the other hand, Maeil Dairies’ ‘Sellex Profit Wear Protein Drink’ contains whey protein isolate (WPI). Used 100% whey protein without casein. Whey protein isolate is quickly absorbed into the body, making it a suitable protein for consumers who want to quickly and easily supplement protein before and after exercise.
This year, we also launched ‘Celex Profit Sparkling,’ a protein carbonated drink that resembles a sparkling drink. Whey protein isolate is also included here. In the case of this product, it is said to be aimed at consumers who want to supplement protein in their daily lives by presenting protein in a zero-carbonated form. Now that I think about it, products containing whey protein isolate are characterized by a clear, water-like consistency, unlike protein products that taste like milk.
Adequate protein intake is important
If in the past protein products were perceived as health supplements before and after exercise, they are now consumed as meal replacements or snacks in everyday life, depending on the consumer’s eating habits. The market size has also grown significantly. In the future, products are expected to become more diverse.

In fact, experts advise that no matter what protein product you eat, it is important to consume the right amount for your body. Protein is the second most abundant nutrient in our body after water. The recommended daily protein intake is 0.8 to 1.2 g per kg of body weight. For people who do a lot of strength training, 1.5 to 1.6 g per kg is recommended. Intake standards vary depending on age group.
What happens if you consume more protein than necessary? As proteins break down, they produce waste products such as nitrogen and ammonia, which puts a strain on the kidneys and liver. It is said that acid substances are produced during the metabolic process, increasing the acidity of the blood, and calcium in the bones is used to neutralize this. It is said that repeated excessive protein intake can increase the risk of osteoporosis, and can also lead to excess calories being stored as fat.
How about supplementing the protein you lack after eating a balanced diet? Since everything is not edible, you should be careful not to consume too much. Health is the best. I hope you have a relaxing weekend for the rest of your day.
