whey isolate useless if not taken pre or post wo

[elmatador]

is it true that whey isolate is useless if not taken pre/post workout? Sometimes i drink it twice day and it does not fall immediately pre or post workout. There are days where i take it post workout, but it all depends on my work schedule etc.

Does it really matter?

Who told you that? Misinformation at it's best. Protein is protein. Your body will absorb it regardless of when you take it. Post workout is best though.

It's fine anytime during the day as long as you have a meal about 3 hours after... The only time of the day I would really stay away from an isolate is before bed... then your best bet is a slow digesting form of protein like casein...

Cool sounds good guys. I actually read this comment on one of the threads on this forum. So i was confused.

Like you guys said, protein is protein.

I would not take isolate unless it's post workout, with another protein, or at the very least, with a fat, and I don't know how anyone could disagree with that.
