Answer

There are many different type of protein pills availible. The 2 most common are proteins derived from whey and beef liver. You can find protein pills at your local nutrition center (GNC, etc.). Most of these pills are designed to be taken in conjunction with a high protein diet. Your body (i.e. your muscles) will take full advantage of the proteins you get from lean meats and dairy product, so use these pills as a supplement.

A word of warning: Many of these pills have high concentrations of B complex or B-12 vitamins. B-vitamin is a natural energy booster. So if you work out in the evening, you may want to avoid the supplements that have high B-vitamins. If you do work out in the evening, I would suggest taking one or two of the protein pills with dinner, 1-2 hours before you go lift.
