Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 4

Blends, as dietary supplements for bodybuilding, typically refer to formulations combining multiple protein sources (such as whey, casein, soy, or egg proteins) or mixtures of amino acids and other nutrients. Scientific evidence supports the use of protein blends for muscle hypertrophy and recovery in the context of resistance training. Multiple randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses have demonstrated that supplemental protein intake, particularly when consumed in conjunction with resistance exercise, increases muscle protein synthesis, muscle mass, and strength gains compared to placebo or lower protein intake. Blended protein supplements may offer advantages over single-source proteins by providing a spectrum of digestion rates and amino acid profiles, sustaining amino acid availability and supporting muscle repair over a longer period.

For example, research comparing slow (casein) and fast (whey) proteins, as well as blends, suggests that combinations may maximize muscle protein synthesis via both rapid and sustained amino acid delivery. The International Society of Sports Nutrition and other expert bodies recommend protein supplementation for individuals engaging in regular intense strength training. However, the benefits are most pronounced in those who do not meet protein needs through food alone. Overall, there is robust scientific validation for the use of protein and amino acid blends to support muscle building and recovery in bodybuilders and athletes.
