The essential amino acids (MyoHealth) can be of benefit to you no matter what your age, but it is a particularly important part of a diet in older adults.
With aging, a number of factors can conspire to cause a decreased consumption of high-quality proteins. As a result, the amount of essential amino acids consumed is also likely to be reduced. This is not GOOD!!
Even if you do not eat 25% of caloric intake as high-quality protein, as suggested, your essential amino acid intake is probably below the level it was when you were younger.
This does not mean you should boost your dietary protein intake to the level of a younger person. Dramatic changes in your regular dietary pattern are difficult to stick with and can be stressful because of the time, effort, and potential cost involved in changing your routine.
The most beneficial answer is to incorporate MyoHealth into your overall eating habits.
As you know, the MyoHealth formula..
* is much more effective than natural protein food sources in terms of stimulating muscle protein synthesis.
* Places less of a burden on the liver and kidneys than food proteins do.
* Causes an increased recycling of non-essential amino acids back into protein.
For best results, take your single serving of MyoHealth each day. This dosage will support your protein synthesis and, over time, gain in muscle mass. Those who wish to accelerate the positive effects can take MyoHealth twice a day between meals.
Smaller and less frequent doses are also effective in stimulating muscle protein synthesis, but the effectiveness is reduced in proportion to the reduction in does. A dose as small as 3g has the equivalent effect of as much as 20g of high-quality protein on stimulating muscle protein synthesis.
The dose of MyoHealth you choose to use will depend on a number of factors. If you are eating a diet relatively deficient in high-quality protein, then larger does of MyoHealth are essential. If you are exercising, the time of the use of MyoHealth should be coordinated with the exercise.
If you are doing resistance training take MyoHealth 30 minutes prior to your workout. If you are doing cardio, take your MyoHealth right after your workout! #DrRobertWolfe
