Health claim
“Consuming a protein drink with at least 20 g of protein per serving maximizes muscle hypertrophy when taken after resistance training.”
Claim checked — mixed / earlyHigh risksupplements
Evidence Summary
Some evidence supports this, but findings are inconsistent or limited in scope.
Research shows 20 g of high-quality protein after resistance training supports muscle protein synthesis, but timing and exact amount are not definitively critical for maximal hypertrophy, and benefits plateau with higher doses.
