Description

Even if you’re careful with what you put in your body and intentional with your diet, you may not be getting enough of certain nutrients like protein. doTERRA Protein is formulated to supplement areas of modern diets that fall short in properly fueling your body.

Amino Acid Profile

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Your body can create some amino acids, but others (called essential amino acids) you must get through diet. doTERRA Protein includes amino acids like histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.

The amino acid profile of a protein supplement determines its effectiveness in supporting muscle growth, recovery, overall health, and various bodily functions.

Here’s why having the right amino acid profile in a protein powder is important:

1. Muscle Protein Synthesis: Different amino acids play key roles in muscle repair and growth. Essential amino acids, particularly leucine, are vital for stimulating muscle protein synthesis.
2. Nutritional Value: A complete amino acid profile ensures all essential amino acids are present in sufficient quantities. This complete profile is particularly important for those who rely on protein supplements to meet dietary protein needs.
3. Digestibility and Absorption: The balance of amino acids affects how well protein is digested and absorbed. An optimal amino acid profile ensures the body can efficiently benefit from protein
4. Biological Value: Protein’s biological value (BV) is determined by its amino acid profile. Protein with a high BV is more effectively used by the body
5. Support for Various Functions: Amino acids are involved in numerous bodily functions beyond muscle building, including hormone production, immune function, and enzyme activity. A diverse amino acid profile supports these key functions
6. Recovery and Performance: For athletes and other active individuals, protein with a complete amino acid profile aids in recovery and enhances performance by reducing muscle soreness and fatigue
7. Health Benefits: Some amino acids, such as glutamine and arginine, have specific health benefits like supporting gut health and improving blood flow. A comprehensive amino acid profile ensures these benefits are realized
