I can't get it out my head that this shit is absorbed too fast and is simply converted ro glucose and used as an energy source. That and amino spiking has me concerned as I get 50-75g of protein a day from whey. Someone teach me the facts

you can read up on labdoor to see the quality of your protein and avoid amino spiking

I was thinking this was a troll/meme but googling it reveals that it is indeed a Thing, and you can only absorb fast-absorbing protein like whey so fast, and the rest ends up being oxidized and used for energy. Anyone else care to comment on this?

Dude just eat eggs, it has a better amino acid profile than anything created in a lab
The conversion of protein to glucose via gluconeogenisis in the liver is a demand-driven process, not supply driven. If you are eating a high-carb diet like most bros your blood glucose will be adequate and GNG will be unnecessary. You have to eat a ton of fucking protein to force GNG and it is an extremely inefficient process. E.g. assuming you are slamming whey and take in an additional 400 calories of protein in excess to the point where the body has no choice but to convert it to energy storage, only 100 calories worth of it will make it to fat via GNG -> de novo lipogensis. Stop worrying about it.

on gold standard is considered a good product by the FDA meaning it goes through the same validating procedures as other food products. it's not considered a supplement like other brands and therefore is under higher scrutiny. typically this means less amino spiking occurs with food grade products however you should be aware that it's still acid washed and of lesser quality than a whey hydrolysate or a casein.
