INSIGHT

Muscle Protein Synthesis

  • Muscle protein synthesis (MPS) involves the constant turnover of proteins.
  • Different proteins have varying lifespans, from hours to months.
INSIGHT

Leucine Content in Whey vs. Soy

  • Whey protein has a higher leucine content (12%) compared to soy protein (8%).
  • Consuming sufficient leucine triggers muscle protein synthesis.
ADVICE

Protein Intake Recommendation

  • Aim for 1.2-1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily.
  • This range supports muscle protein synthesis and overall health.
