However, a quality gainer&nbsp;<\/span><strong><span>provides nutrients from pure sources.&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><span>These are mainly&nbsp;<\/span><strong><span>proteins and complex carbohydrates.&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><span>A higher sugar content may be fine for athletes, for example, before or during a sports performance.&nbsp;On the other hand, a smaller amount of sugar is ideal at a time when you are not planning to do any sports performance, or when your activity requires only a small amount of energy.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"is-style-default wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Multiple sources of protein are a plus<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to different nutritional profiles, different types of proteins also have slightly different properties, respectively digestion effect. A good example is to take two milk proteins &#8211; whey and micellar casein, which, for this purpose, make a great couple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Whey proteins are&nbsp;<\/span><strong><span>quickly absorbed and give your body exactly what it needs at a given moment. <\/span><\/strong>However, <a href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/protein-casein-miccelar-1000-g-gymbeam.html\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\"><span>micellar casein<\/span><\/a><span>&nbsp;tends to clot and form a ball in your stomach that&nbsp;<\/span><strong><span>slowly releases nutrients over several hours.&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><span>Thanks to the combination of whey protein and micellar casein, your body will always have enough necessary nutrients.
