Building muscle, nine essential amino acids (EAA) at a time, is the driving force behind muscle protein synthesis (MPS) – overcoming the normal effects of muscle protein breakdown (MPB) - resulting from a host of situations like, exercise training, rehabilitation sessions, surgery, trauma, and the advanced age-related loss of muscle (sarcopenia), with the associated loss of strength (dynapenia). A net balance between MPS and MPB – where synthesis is higher than breakdown – equates to an...
