The Claim
Whey peptide ingestion increases plasma concentrations of essential and branched-chain amino acids in both men and women within one hour, with no significant difference in the magnitude of increase between sexes.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Consuming whey peptides raises levels of essential and branched-chain amino acids in the blood within one hour in both men and women, and the increase is the same size in both sexes.
See the scientific wording
Whey peptide ingestion increases plasma concentrations of essential and branched-chain amino acids in both men and women within one hour, with no significant difference in the magnitude of increase between sexes.
When whey peptide is swallowed, it breaks down into essential amino acids in the gut, which are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream. This causes a sharp rise in the levels of these amino acids in the blood within one hour, and this increase happens the same way in men and women.
What the research says
1 studyThe study measured plasma amino acid levels before and after whey peptide ingestion in 10 participants and found statistically significant increases in essential and branched-chain amino acids in both sexes, supporting this descriptive finding.
