protein shake makes me drowsy abit?

[daghetto]

when i take my Whey protein shake(with water, after workout), i feel drowsy after abit for like 15-20 mins but then its fine. is this a normal thing? cause im guessing from my common sense that its because its very heavy on your stomach, and because of how you feel tired after a big meal, the same applies for this as it is alot of protein all in one for your stomach?

How long have you been taking this drink?
Are you having dextrose in the drink, if so, how much?
How much protein (and anything else) do you have in the drink?

ive been taking it for 2 weeks now. i dont have dextrose with the drink, not sure what that is lol. i take 1 scoop which is 25g of protein, and i put that in water and drink it after workout.

id really appreciate some help

p.s: since then ive gained like 3 pounds , so this is definately helpin me out too

Think its the protein or the workout?

but its fine right? like its normal for that to happen rite?ive been havin it for 2 weeks and dont regret it at all, the drowsiness thing is just something i wanted to know about whether its happened to you guys too, and whether its nothin to worry bout

I've been feeling similarly. Weird.

I've been taking it for about 2 weeks too.

I take around 1.5 scoop of ON Whey Protein. The pre-workout shake gives me the ultra lazy/ drowsy bit.

Does it iron itself out with time?

I don't take dextrose. Its plain powder and water.

Where are your carbohydrates after training for re synthesis of used muscle glycogen

Does your pre-workout contain simple sugars, you may be suffering from low blood sugars whilst your train. Another cause may be that you havent eaten adequate calories prior to working out

No simple sugars. Just powder and wAter. Thinking of trying a lower dose. 1 scoop pre-workout, and 1.5 post. The drowsiness is a problem pre workout mainly.
