Q: Hi Mike, I heard someone talking about a protien or energy boster that started with a T. it was absorbed into the small intestine after just 10 minutes of taking. do you have any idea what this is? Tony

A: I'm not sure what supplement you have in mind, but there are couple things to keep in mind... First, any whey protein supplement is absorbed and digested rapidly -- that is why it's commonly recommended for a post-workout meal when your body can make good use of available protein by starting to repair the muscle damage. And second, be very wary of all claims in commercial supplements. There's no fact-checking or regulation for the supplement industry so you'll see all sorts of impressive sounding but false, misleading, or plain meaningless claims. Even though I don't know what supplement you are talking about I'm 99% sure it's not substantially different from the hundreds of other whey powders.
