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

It has whey protein in it but it is not a good source of protein in general. Isopure is my preferred source.

A good whey protein, preferably organic will definitely help with regaining muscle. Since Source Organic Whey Protein is organic and an excellent whey (and it tastes good, too), it should be of great help to you. I know it has helped me to lose those last 5 pounds and I have NOT lost any muscle!

No it does not if anything it will make you gain weight because of the whey proteins and its such high amounts of protein. It's meant for someone who is trying to bulk up or lifts weight a lot.

No whey. I use it because it is lactose free. Excellent product. Great source of protein. Have it with Almond milk, p-butter and a banana every morning.

This can very greatly but a good approach is to take a protein and creatine supplement. Before, some people will take a Nitric Oxide (NO) product to get blood flow but a simple caffeine product will work fine. I find personally and it has been heavily researched that taking whey protein and creatine monohydrate after works very well. However, after taking the protein and creatine, it is important to take a simple carbohydrate source. This will be immediately used to repair damaged muscle tissue and will help bring the protein and creatine directly into the muscles. As far as during goes, I usually don't take anything but some people will supplement with Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs).

Absolutely, man. Whey is one of the highest quality protein out there. Take it after your workouts and you won't feel as sore. After a week or two start taking after your workouts and before bed with some milk. Obviously you're going to have to diet and excersize but ya whey will definitely lean you out.

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.

There's nothing magic about getting your dietary protein from whey. Drinking a whey protein shake has the same effect as eating some baked chicken breast. Just like all other dietary protein, if you eat enough protein it will be used by your body to build the muscles you've been breaking down.

Eating more protein will not make you bulk up. Eating, lifting heavy and resting will bulk you up. This is ideal for eating after your run. You should also eat some sugar (like tossing a handful of M&M;'s into the blender) to replenish your glycogen. Another good idea is to have some of their casein protein right before you go to bed. Whey is good first thing in the morning and after a workout (it is fast digesting) and casein is good before bed.

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.

Yeah I would check on another website/do a Google search. If you order from this listing you do get the recovery protein.

I really do not know. I actually lost more weight with whey protein than any other method. Get creative w/flavors using vanilla powder. Works great! (I lost 80 pounds in 5 months w/whey)

Do not know. Look up this tape - Kinesio. What is does for bruises - cuts healing time in half or more. Sprains or strains - it is amazing. Strengthens over worked muscles giving support till able to carry the load again. Check it out.

This is on the recommended list of drinks from my bariatric surgeon. I've lost significant amounts of weight using this as a meal replacement. Five shakes a day, no cheating, will yield excellent results in a short time period. I've had bariatric surgery, so you should check with your doctor before starting a calorie restricted protein diet.

It is not a miracle worker by any means. However, it is difficult for me to get enough protein in my regular diet so this really helps, especially if you have a good workout regimen. After cleaning up my diet AND adding whey protein, i have lost about 5 pounds in the last month.

I don't know Sharon. My friend's injury was sustained years ago in an accident, but the shoulder still pains especially when he does heavy lifting. The shoulder support helps stable and support his shoulder and gives him relief. It may help to support the shoulder as the rotator cuff tear heals, but I am not a medical doctor, so check with a professional. Sorry I could not give a simple yes or no answer.
