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

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

Platinum Hydro Whey has more protein/serving (6g more, I believe), because it's not just purified protein, but also hydrolyzed. The hydrolyzation process breaks protein down further, which makes it easier and faster to absorb, hence making it more efficient. That being said, I can't tell the difference in results... Probably because I'm not actually an intense athlete, I just work out and I don't like feeling sore so I drink a shake. I think the general consensus, is that Hydro Whey is only really worth the extra money if you're doing some really intense working out. In terms of taste, I detect a little bit of an after taste. I prefer Gold Standard, but Hydro Whey does seem to be creamier/richer.

It is predigested hydrolyzed collagen (animal protein) and whey protein (lactalbumin) and an excellent source of pure protein. I use this every day to make sure I get enough protein -- for me, it's just perfect.

I purchased one of these for rotator cuff issues. It probably could help on the upper part of the arm muscles as well.

I think it is comparable to other whey proteins. I take it pretty consistently so I'm not sure what my results would be without using it. I will say that I use this just to supplement the natural proteins I eat in my everyday diet. I usually just take one scoop a day; any more than that your body just flushes it in your urine...or at least that's what I've been told. I have stuck with it because I think it tastes the bests.

Mostly Whey and soy proteins. Tons of minerals and vitamins. You can see at factor4health dot com / nutrition_facts

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.

It probably would be, since it's pea protein rich. I've never used whey protein. But I still have to eat something solid like either an egg white or one small piece of chicken or fish. The drink for me has mostly helped curb any need for carbs, i.e., bagels, etc.

I did not; I just switched back to using a whey protein powder. But I appreciate the suggestion.

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

This is actually a difficult question to answer as there is much debate on the topic. Truly, it depends on your goals. If you are in a "Paleo Challenge", you'll want to consult the rules (some people say whey is not paleo because it is derived from milk). However, if you are simply searching for a healthier lifestyle, but you prefer to supplement your protein intake, then whey is a great option. For the active athlete/person on a paleo lifestyle diet, protein intake is as vital as sleeping. Also, in most whey proteins the irritants and allergens found in actual cow's milk have been removed. Whey isolates are preferred by most athletes for the easy access to increased protein versus price. I hope this helps.

Whey and aminos. As others have stated check the web site. I use it with my Nutrabullet and have a smoothie with kale spinach fruits a little almond mild and the powder. In have it for breakfast and often lunch. Keeps me full. I dropped over forty five pounds using this along with other healthy eating habits. This allows me to decrease my intake of meats and stick to fruit and veggies. Feel great!!'n

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.

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.

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.

This protein drink was suggested by a nurse to help with my healing. It is working and does give me more energy. As far as weight lifiting I think any protein powder is helpful.
