PROTEIN

– Protein is made up of 9 EAAs Essential Amino Acids and 11 Non-Essential Amino Acids
– The 9 EAAs cannot be made by the body and therefore must come from food
– They are: Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan, Methionine, Lysine, Histidine
– BCAAs Branch Amino Acids are 3 of the EAAs: Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine
– Leucine is the key for building muscle which is called Muscle Protein Synthesis or MPS
