Will consuming more whey (protein) help my rotator cuff tear heal?

IMO this protein will not heal the tendon per se but with exercising the surrounding muscles, under guidance, you can improve the quality of your movements and try to live the best with this tear. Strengthening the adjoining muscles would also reduce the chances of aggravating the problem.Just eating whey protein, without exercising, will do close to nothing for your body.

Exercises will help more - there are some good ones in the book Bulletproof Your Shoulder that can help prevent a tear too.

Light rehab exercises + ice will heal it. I tore mine about 7 years ago and today I have 100% confidence in my shoulder. Don't do any exercise which hurts... find another exercise. For me it was barbell/machine incline bench, I replaced with dumbbells and no more issues.

No over head shoulder presses only side laterals for strengthening shoulders.

No it won't help. I had a similar problem. There are exercises that you can do when your rotator cuff tear heals enough to keep movement going and/or being as limited

I'm 46 years old , doing weight training , I feel better taking specific ingredients for cartilage and ligaments like this product in particular ,it has the right nutrition values.Alone with exercise is good for recovering , I also take isolated whey protein , multivitamins , glutamine and creatine , also Zinc Magnessium and Calcium combined . When I'm not under the stress of my training program I take 1 or 2 months off from some supplements including glucosamine. Is all about a combination of different things : understanding of your body , exercise , proper nutrition , supplements and time really . Hope I was helpful !

I bought this "miracle whey protein" but found it high calorie, tastes bad and also is not considered a "meal" replacement which I was looking for. Not sure why Dr. Oz is not recommending it. Hope that helps.

Yes, whey is the protein source for this product. It is from grass fed cows raised in New Zealand who are not treated with antibiotics or given GMO grains.

Yes it is - I make shakes with it or add a little to oatmeal. I have a dairy sensitivity so I avoid whey protein. Though I must say the taste of this is not fantastic. I prefer sun warrior vegan protein.

Yes, Casein protein helps with the formation and maintaining all muscles. It will certainly help you with your arm muscles.

Adrian, muscle recovery and muscle building are the same thing. HMB is a metabolite of Leucine that helps to prevent muscle breakdown and increase protein synthesis. You probably wouldn't notice a difference unless you push your body to the limit several workouts a week prepping for a contest or trying to lose a lot of weight. I still take it in the off season bc it's only a dollar a day and has research to slightly increase muscle gain and to have a synergistic effect with creatine

No one seems to factor in the savings from using the WHEY in bread-baking or cooking to fortify foods. Weight lifters buy protein mix all the time that is made primarily from whey (and possibly adulterated in China with melamine). Having a reliable source of pure, natural whey would be a godsend to some of them...and to anyone wanting high-protein cooked food. (Think whey-fortified baked goods, mac & cheese, etc.) So your Greek yogurt starts looking pretty cost-effective if you save the whey and use it.

No not from what I can tell from package. This product recommended by my sons doc after fitness routine because he is thin and lean. Also recommend by another doc to neighbor son who was involved in burn accident. He needed more protein in his diet to repair tissue. LI've it because out had very little flavo. And my son wouldn't eat it if it tast bad. Hope that helps

aminoacids are the basic part of the protein, they are helpful to rebuild your muscles

Yes. Well constructed supplement for protein release over several hours. Cookies and cream is a better flavor.

i'd use raw organic whey if you can find it. Raw has all the nutrients in it. I use warrior whey organic. I think it's low heat processed.

No you can't. .. its for recovery from training. . Best taken after you train with your protein shake

Most agree you're not prone to injury using these. I would keep your rotator cuff strong though - try some of the ex's in the book "Bulletproof Your Shoulder".

I had rotator cuff surgery back in 07 which is why I bought another one of these. You can ease in to the work out and limit the amount of force you exert. However I would not recommend using this to it's full extent until you are completely healed. When all else fails ask your Surgeon or Physical Therapist for their recommendation.

That depends On a lot of different things. If you get enough protein from food (150-200 grams a day) you don't really need to be buying whey protein. That being said, BCAAs are only beneficial if you work out in a fasted state (first thing in the morning without eating anything beforehand).

You didn't mention the source of your low carb protein power. MRM's whey protein is very low carb - 1.5 grams per serving and is has a very high nutritive value and low calories. Hope that helps.
