HEALTH INFO
There is a lot of confusion with regards to intake of protein
- How much to have ?
- Which protein to have ?
- What is absorption ?
- What is muscle protein synthesis ?
- & so on and so forth..
We'll declutter protein for you to make informed choices for maximum benefits.
Humans are block of protein
The word protein comes from the Greek word Proteios, which means something of primary importance. This couldn't be more right because humans are nothing but a block of protein from hair to nails to skin to tissues.
Amino acids are the bulding blocks of proteins
Amino acids are two types, essential and nonessential. Non eseential are produced by the body & essential aren't. Hence they are required by the body from external sources.
With each passing year our body's need for protein increases
Because of sarcopenia ie muscle loss, our body demands more protein after the age of 40 to increase the muscle protein sysntheis in order to prevent/reduce muscle loss.
Misleading info from other brands
Most protein brands mislead by focusing on scoop quantity and absorption, creating a false perception of more being better. However, absorption alone doesn't determine usability, bioavailability, or muscle conversion.
Our body needs the right ecosystem
For the protein to be broken down and converetd to our tissues ( Muscle Protein synthesis), our body needs the right ecosystem of enzymes, vitamins & minerals collectively known as the co-factors.
