Importance of Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS) for Skeletal Muscle Health
Muscle protein synthesis (MPS) is crucial for maintaining skeletal muscle and lean tissue, as a lack of stimulation can lead to the risk of losing muscle mass. The body turns over approximately 250 grams of protein daily, making it important to support skeletal muscle health. When diet supports skeletal muscle health, it typically also supports the health of other aspects of the body. The current recommendation for lucine intake is 223 grams a day.
