Protein shakes are meant to supplement more protein to provide "raw material" for muscle rebuilding after workouts. Essentially when you work out, you are pushing your muscles to higher stress loads. The effect of this is muscle damage, which is why you feel sore after after work outs. The soreness is due to the contents of your muscles cells spilling out. You want to take a post workout protein shake 30 mins after working out. Protein shakes are effective spread out through out the day. I usually take one in the morning, post workout, and after dinner. Each shake contains about 36g of protein.

The key thing with muscle building is providing the right nutrients and recovery time. In reality going to the gym is only half the battle.

Please keep in mind, that many of the methods that other people will tell you are methods that work for them. The way our bodies react are unique for each person. Find what works best for you and stick with it.
