INSIGHT

Power of Essential Amino Acids

  • Essential amino acids directly signal the body to rebuild muscle and other proteins.
  • They stimulate muscle protein synthesis much more effectively than whole foods or whey protein.
ADVICE

Protein Needs Increase With Age

  • Increase protein intake after age 30 as anabolic resistance reduces muscle-building efficiency.
  • Supplement with essential amino acids especially past 40, since appetite decreases and whole food protein is less effective.
ADVICE

Creatine Enhances Energy and Strength

  • Take creatine to boost muscle energy and improve workout performance.
  • Enhanced energy from creatine allows you to train harder, leading to more muscle growth over time.
