PROTEIN & YOUR HEALTH

Protein plays one of the most crucial roles in overall bodily function and consuming an adequate amount is vital for optimizing health. It’s a true building block for proper muscle growth and health. In addition to the food you eat, a protein supplement is a convenient way to ensure that you’re getting enough quality protein throughout the day and immediately after a workout. Additionally, protein is the most satiating macro nutrient making a protein supplement a great snack to satisfy hunger during the day. When taken with exercise, the Mons Pura protein shakes is an effective and easy-digesting way to get protein to your muscles quickly, boosting muscle protein synthesis (i.e. recovery and growth). It’s also important to know, when it comes to protein, quality is key. Mons Pura protein offers a complete and clean protein source.

WHY WHEY PROTEIN

Whey protein isolate has a high protein content - over 90%. This means that it is an excellent source of protein for people who need to consume high amounts of protein, such as athletes, bodybuilders, and people who are looking to build muscle

Essential Amino Acids

Whey protein isolate contains all essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. These amino acids are necessary for muscle repair and growth.

Faster Absorption

Whey protein isolate is absorbed faster by the body than other forms of protein. This means that it is quickly available to the muscles for repair and growth after a workout.

Easy to Digest

Whey protein isolate is easy to digest, which means that it is less likely to cause bloating, gas, or other digestive issues compared to other forms of protein.

1. WHAT IS PROTEIN AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

PROTEIN

Protein is a macronutrient that is essential for the growth, repair, and maintenance of tissues in the body. It is made up of amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. There are 20 different amino acids, and nine of them are considered essential because the body cannot produce them on its own and must obtain them through the diet. Amino acids are important for muscle protein synthesis, which is the process of building new muscle tissue. Protein plays a vital role in many physiological processes in the body, including:

  • Building and repairing tissues: Protein is essential for the growth and repair of tissues in the body, including muscles, bones, and organs.
  • Enzyme production: Enzymes are proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions in the body. They are essential for many physiological processes, including digestion and metabolism.
  • Hormone production: Some hormones, such as insulin and growth hormone, are made up of proteins.
  • Immune system function: Antibodies, which are proteins, are an important part of the immune system and help to protect the body from infection.
  • Transport and storage: Proteins help to transport and store important molecules in the body, such as oxygen and iron.

2. THE ROLE OF LEUCINE IN MUSCLE PROTEIN SYNTHESIS.

LEUCINE

Leucine is one of the essential amino acids and plays a key role in muscle protein synthesis. It activates a signaling pathway in the body that stimulates muscle protein synthesis and helps to prevent muscle breakdown. Studies have shown that consuming leucine-rich protein sources, such as whey protein, can enhance muscle protein synthesis and support muscle growth. This is especially true when combined with regular exercise, particularly resistance training.

3. HOW MUCH PROTEIN DO I NEED?

PROTEIN NEEDS

The recommended daily intake of protein varies depending on factors such as age, sex, weight, and activity level. A general guideline for healthy adults is to consume between 0.36 grams to 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day. Athletes and individuals who engage in regular strength training will likely need more protein to support muscle growth and recovery.
