Ive heard some people talking bout taking olive oil with their protein shakes just before they go to bed, appearently this slows down how quickly the protein is absorbed?

Is this right?

Cheers

I understand olive oil digests slowly, but the protein would get absorbed as normal?

The oil would delay the absorption of protein but it would all still get absorbed eventually therefore a good option before bedtime.

Its like mixing salt and peper, then sorting them back out again. Takes a while

So how much olive oil would you put into a 30g promax shake?

Ok

1-2 tsp

but tbh that stuff is rank in shakes. You can use other fat sources like desiccated coconut, walnut oil, macadamia oil, peanut butter, flax seed etc
