Did you know there are thousands of different proteins in your body, all with specific functions?

Not counting water, those proteins comprise about two-thirds of your body mass.

AND…

Every protein in your body is in a constant state of breakdown and synthesis.

It's this balance between the rates of breakdown and synthesis of a protein that determines whether you are gaining protein (anabolism) or losing protein (catabolism).

Most people are in a steady state where the overall synthesis of proteins balances the breakdown of proteins.

The breakdown of body proteins provides a steady supply of amino acids to produce new proteins.

Even though there is a constant supply of amino acids coming from protein breakdown, we still need to get amino acids from the food we eat.

This is because all amino acids that are released in the process of protein breakdown are not available for reincorporation into protein via protein synthesis.

While some non-essential amino acids can be produced from other molecules in the body, other amino acids released because of protein breakdown are irreversibly degraded and excreted as CO2, urea, and ammonia.

Since we are losing protein and cannot make what we need (our body cannot produce the 9 essential amino acids), the only answer is to eat protein that contains the essential amino acids.

By eating sufficient essential amino acids through a balanced approach of food and MyoHealthTM products, the rate of protein synthesis can match or even exceed the rate of protein breakdown.

At that point, you have growth, strength, and restored vitality that leads to greater quality of life as well as a reduction in risk of disease.
