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

You can mix it equally well with warm or cold liquids. I drink it in the morning first thing along with my "without food" supplements and my "with/or without food" supplements. I also take hyaluronic acid which works synergistically with the collagen, but I take it with food later on. Vitamin C also potentiates the action of both the collagen and the hyaluronic acid and I take 5-6,000 mg's of that with food. I also take a super calcium formula with Vit K2. The combination keeps my bones, ligaments and skin strong. If I stop, I get creaky and joint-achy.

Yep. Your body just doesn't process it as quickly as whey, so use it to just get your overall protein intake up. You don't need to drink it right after working out. I sometimes drink one scoop mixed with two cups almond milk before bed if I haven't had enough protein during the day. It mixes a much thicker shake than whey protein.

No, you cannot. You do not have to use this particular recovery drink, but it does need to be a recovery drink. They are designed to replenish & repair your muscles faster with all you burn in a hard workout. A plain whey protein does not do that. You will get better results & be less sore with a recovery drink.

This product is more for mass gaining, while whey protein is more for building leaner muscle

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

I am 72 years old and have both Rotator cuff and knee problems. My trainer introduced me to Resistance Band training and I'm so impressed I'm buying a set to use at home. For work on your Rotator Cuff ask an experienced trainer for the specific exercises you need (I went to Physical Therapy). Start light and then gradually increase the resistance and number of reps. This process should be pain free. If it hurts, lighten the weight or the number of reps. For arthritis, I advise start light, and just work through any discomfort.

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

I use this separately from whey, i mix it with fruit juice post workout to offset the taste

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.

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)

Hi, thank you for your question. I have been drinking this Soy protein. I can give you my comments.1. No for body builder, 2. Yes for LACTOSE-INTOLERANT and 3. No for BULKING PHASE.If you want no. 1 & 3 yes, you may have to find whey protein from Soy or plants. Hope this helps.thanks

I had rotator cuff surgery in Jan. '13. When I was able to start rehabbing, my assistant recommended I start out slowly with the Bodyblade. She said it would work the smaller muscles and tendons I had re-attached. It was a bit uncoordinated at first. I still use it today as my main workout. It's a miracle exerciser and today I can almost do everything I could do before my accident. I'd highly recommend it to any age.

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).

I didn't find anything that say whey protein in the ingredient. But you can more by going to website http://everythinggenius.com/network/bodyglo/category/superfood-ingredients/

Not that I know of but have to ask the manufacturer. Per my experience I've found it to be a huge help for: faster soft tissue recovery from sprains, strains, tears, soreness, bruising, or just joint or muscle weakness. Can be use as prevention to add strength or support to an area of shoulders, arms, legs or back for sport or physical effort of many types.
