I was researching about a “good recovery supplement” like “Progenex”;and i found this answer;
There are two view points here, read both)
Yes, it is bad for you. Hydrolyzed protein in products indicates the prescence of MSG or monosodium glutamate. Recent findings have found monosodium glutamate to cause brain lesions, brain neuron death, obesity and diabetes in mice. (what is your reference?) Other studies indicated that foods containing this chemical cause drastic rises in blood sugar levels, what this amounts to is feeling very hungry, only a short time after eating. (reference?) You can see how this would play a role in obesity. The FDA is able to label foods as “free of added MSG”, because with hydrolyzed protein, disodium guanylate, and disodium isoinate, the MSG is naturally occurring.
Difference of Opinions
PROTEIN HYDROLYSATE AND GLUTAMATE ARE NOT TOXIC!
If you did some real research in a Physiology Text you would discover that all protein is hydrolyzed (digested) by enzymes in your gut to its component amino acids. Protein is made up of about 20 amino acids, eight of them essential. Aproximately 25-30 percent of any protein is a combination of two amino acids, glutamic and aspartic. If you eat a minimum of 60 grams of protein per day, roughly the RDA for a 140 lb person, digestion will release into you blood approximately 10 grams of glutamate (MSG component) and 5 grams of aspartate (Aspartame component). The liver and blood brain barrier regulate how much of these amino acids enter the brain tissue. And also regulates how your blood glucose rises in response to the meal. If it didn’t we might be in serious trouble, but fortunately it does. Eating a well balanced diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables, low in saturated fat, with the right number of calories to balance your exercise, will keep you healthy and trim.
Another View Point
Hydrolyzed protein is a common ingredient normally found in food, but it is highly toxic. Research for yourself. SEE BELOW
Hydrolyzed protein IS one of the best proteins one can get, brain neuron death, obesity and diabetes IS A LOT OF TOSH!
hydrol… whey protein is even used in hospitals for greater and faster recovery!
it is one of the best suppl….. a bodybuilder can use, due too it being partly predigested
“into the amino acid structure needed for muscle growth. iam a bodybuilder and use hydro…. protein, and have been for ages,
insulin levels do rise ect, but this is a good thing for a bodybu….. taken with fast carbs after a workout. That is the only time an insulin spike along with hydr… protein is needed to shuttle the protein into the muscles. a chocolate bar will do more harm than a drink of hydro… whey protein” i would rather have hydrol…. and weight train.
Along the lines of today’s WOD – here is a great resource of bodyweight workouts and metcons that can keep you busy throught the holidays and all year. You may want to keep this in your wallet:

Thanks for the scare Karina. I will stick to bananas and turkey.
That BW list can be found on this site under the resource tab. It’s a great resource, that tab.
K1, thanks for the research. Good food for thought.
Ice Monster R&D
Ouch and oucher.
You may want to practice your weightlifting, bodyweight movements, rowing, running, kettlebelling, ring work, rope climbing and several things you have not and will not think about.
make up Squats and Press
did some OHS practice as well – got to 115# which I believe is my new 1RM max
5-3-1 and 12-9-6 reps of 115# thrusters and c2b pullups — 3:03
wod
47:16
pull ups and push ups very hard.
Good one!!
Barbara- 34:44 Rx (PR)
Individual splits were 3:37/3:57/4:54/5:29/4:47
goal was to complete all rounds under 5 min. failed on the 4th. think I’ll try to take it a bit slower the first 2 rounds next time.
I’m of the belief that protein in its full, natural form is best. A cup of raw unpasteurized milk for me works well.
