Position Statement: The position of Society regarding caffeine supplementation and sport performance is summarized by the following seven points: 1.) Caffeine effective for enhancing in trained athletes when consumed low-to-moderate dosages (~3-6 mg/kg) overall does not result further enhancement higher (>/= 9 mg/kg). 2.) exerts a greater ergogenic effect an anhydrous state as compared to coffee. 3.) It has been shown that can enhance vigilance during bouts extended exhaustive exercise, well...

The fate of dietary protein in the gut is determined by microbial and host digestion utilization. Fermentation proteins generates bioactive molecules that have wide-ranging health effects on host. type can affect amino acid absorption, with animal generally being more efficiently absorbed compared plant proteins. In contrast to proteins, most such as pea protein, are incomplete Pea low methionine contains lower amounts branched-chain acids (BCAAs), which play a crucial role muscle health. We...
