Our body doesn’t get protein from protein. We don’t build muscle out of whey protein or meat proteins or soy proteins. Instead, our body breaks these down into the building blocks that form them — the amino acids. It then takes the essential amino acids from these and builds completely new proteins in the forms that the human body needs. But the human body requires all of the essential amino acids and it needs them in a precise ratio one to another in order to make new protein.
If there is an excess of one or more, this excess can’t be used to synthesize new protein. Or if there is less of one needed for the overall ratio, this pulls down the amount of each of the others that can be used. This leaves extra amino acids the body can’t use. But also, our body has no way to store amino acids. So these are converted into glucose (sugar) or body fat. These extra amino acids are the actual source of calories in any protein we eat.
The power of PERFECT AMINO® is that it’s the exact essential amino acids, in the exact ratio needed to build new protein, but without the extra amino acids. So we synthesize new protein, but without the caloric impact from excess, unused amino acids.
How does this compare to other protein sources?
This chart illustrates the Amino Acid Utilization (AAU™) that PERFECT AMINO™ offers, dramatically greater than dietary protein sources.
