Whey vs hemp protein, before and/or after workout

[static_jacket]

A) I'm curious what everyone's thoughts are on protein sources. I've been having some indigestion problems with whey, lots of gas and cramping (Gold Standard whey, by the way). girlfriend can't stand to be around me the night of lift day, haha. I was reading that hemp protein is easier to digest, doesn't cause gas and is rich in branched chain amino acids. The price per gram of protein seems to be pretty close to that of whey isolates,so that's not a huge deal. I do remember years ago getting some at a Trader Joe's, and it was super gritty and I had to mix it into a smoothie to cover up the taste and texture, so taste seems to be the only downside from what I notice.

B) When in relation to your work out do you take your protein supplements? I have been taking 20 grams of whey about a half hour before workout, and usually make a post work out shake with Fairlife chocolate milk, frozen berries, avocado and peanut butter.

I used to take a P P, but don't do it now, but I do advocate them, if you're getting one with carbs and jacked up BCAA's and glutamine and avoiding the pricey ones with proprietary blends and loads of ingredients.

Hemp protein is the second highest concentration of protein in nature. Soy is 33% and hemp is 25%.

If you have issues with a protein powders taste try things like vanilla essence, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, mocha powder, cinnamon and honey and see how one or more of those work out.

im using the same whey protein as well. Usually i take it within 45 minutes after workout. I did some research and most of friends said that it is best to take whey within 45 minutes because your body can easily absorb the whey and that's the best time for protein to start repairing your muscles
