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.

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.

Hydrolyzed protein is a form of protein that has been broken down into smaller peptides through a process called hydrolysis. This makes it easier for the body to absorb and digest, which can be beneficial for individuals with digestive issues or Allergies to whole proteins. hydrolyzed protein is often used in sports nutrition products and infant formulas.

Hydrolyzed protein is basically pre-digested. This is good for body builders or people who need weight gain, by making the digestion process faster, and making it easier for athletes to eat the large amounts of food them need to maintain a high energy performance. They are very bad if you are trying to lose weight. In weight loss you need food that takes longer to digest, and burns more calories in the process.

Where can you buy pure hydrolyzed keratin protein?

Pure hydrolyzed keratin protein can be purchased from online retailers that specialize in selling cosmetic ingredients, such as lotioncrafter.com or makingcosmetics.com. It may also be available in some specialty beauty stores or beauty supply shops.


What is a G protein?

G protein is one of a number of guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-binding, regulatory proteins that serve as membrane-bound transducers of chemically and physically coded information; they are intermediaries in transmembrane signaling pathways that consist of three proteins: receptor, G protein, and effector. The G protein becomes activated upon binding GTP. The latter is subsequently slow hydrolyzed to GDP. When the hydrolysis is complete, the regulatory effect of the G protein is terminated and it is then available for reactivation by binding GTP.


Is denatured and hydrolyzed protein the same?

No ! They are not same...Protein Hydrolysis: Just as a water of molecule is formed when two amino acids are linked together, water (in the presence of acid or an enzyme) can be used to break a peptide bond.Denaturation of Proteins :Denaturation of a protein involves the destabilization of 2°, 3° and/or 4° structures. Some reagents that can cause protein denaturation are heat, acids or bases, organic compounds, heavy metal ions, and agitation.


What does not occur when ATP is hydrolyzed?

When ATP is hydrolyzed, a phosphate group is released along with energy, which can be used for various cellular processes. Conversion to ADP occurs, not conversion to ATP.


What digestive organelle where macromolecules are hydrolyzed?

The lysosome is the digestive organelle where macromolecules are hydrolyzed within a cell. It contains enzymes that break down larger molecules into smaller components that can be used by the cell for energy or building blocks.
