Figured I'd make a seperate thread because I feel as if this would be a good one for pre/post-op people. If anyone knows or has been told this information...... please share!

Question because I've seen this in other threads. This is for the people who say they do double scoops and mix other stuff to add in protein to their shakes... Like Calcium, does your body only absorb so much within a certain amount of time? Is it worth using double scoops and adding other ingredients to boost your protein? I read the difference about how your body absorbs different types or proteins ie whey isolate, whey concentrate, soy, etc. So, I assume depending on the type of protein you are using, your body absorbs more or less depending on the type. But, does it max out at any point in one setting?

For everything there are VARIOUS thoughts...but I have read that your body can absorb anywhere from 30-50g of protein.  Everything is individual etc etc.
