When Protein is digested it is broken down into a number of amino acids, and the body cannot use the protein you ingest unless all of the necessary amino acids are present. These essential amino acids (Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methinonine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan and Valine) are necassary for synthesizing Non Essential Amino Acids (Alanine, Arginine, Aspartic Acid, Cysteine, Glutamic Acid, Glutamine, Glycine, Histidine, Lyrosine, Proline, Serine, Taurine and Tyrosine) Each of the Essential Amino Acids plays a
specific role in maintaining
a healthy body as well as providing the raw material for the syntesise
of non essential amino acids. Click on a link below to learn more.
The importance of protein supplementation is critical to any individual looking to build and maintain muscle mass. Protein has been called "the building blocks of life," and without proper protein supplementation the task of building and maintaining muscle mass is next to impossible. The biggest problem that's faced with the consumption of protein by way of whole foods is mostly convenience. I like to take my protein or meal replacement with me to the gym and mix it up after my work out to get my post work out meal. It is of vital importance to get nutrients into your blood stream as quickly as possible after your work out to optimize your size and strength gains. By using protein supplements you quickly consume and digest needed amounts of proteins to help you grow and recover from your workout.
