04 Jul 2019 --- Mycoprotein – the funghi-derived and protein-rich food source that is unique to Quorn products – stimulates post-exercise muscle building to a greater extent than milk protein. This is according to a study from the University of Exeter, that evaluated the digestion of protein which allows amino acids – protein’s building blocks – to increase in the bloodstream and then become available for muscle protein building. The study followed 20 healthy, fit young men at rest and after strenuous resistance exercise. The researchers note that further study is warranted to include other populations, as this one included only men. Moreover, the results may present a solution for muscle building for those who opt for plant-based diets.
