How Are Protein Sources So Different?

https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/debbiepotts/store-start

IT’S ALL IN THE RATIO OF THE ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS

• Every plant or animal has its own specific essential amino acid needs in different amounts. And this is no different for the human body.
• So what we get from these different sources isn’t necessarily the ratio and amounts that we need, as each source has a different amount and ratio to give.
• For example, whey, pea and soy proteins are only 16%-18% essential amino acids in the correct ratio one to another that the human body can use to make new protein and collagen. The rest are non-essential amino acids that aren’t used or “extra” essential amino acids that couldn’t be paired.
• This means that only 18% of whey is actually used to make new protein… The rest is converted to sugar. This excess sugar, if it can’t be immediately used, then triggers fat storage.
• Now, some people will say that if you only have some of the EAAs then these will be mixed with other EAAs from other sources. This isn’t true for one main reason: Your body can’t store amino acids for later use. It can store fat. It can store sugars in the for of glycogen. But has no way to store amino acids.
• Amino acids will stay in the blood stream for only about 2-3 hours before being converted to sugar if they can’t be paired with other essential amino acids.

This means two things:

1) We’re not getting nearly as much actual protein as we think.

2) We also have a large source of hidden sugars in our diet – not very helpful when trying to get lean and healthy.

PerfectAmino is pure Essential Amino Acids and nothing else. It is 100% vegan, Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free, Soy-Free and Dairy-Free.

It has no fillers, coatings or additives, just the essential amino acids in a form that is 99% utilized to build new protein and collagen for muscle, skin, hair, bones, nerves, endocrine function, ligaments and tendons. And, as it’s 99% utilized, this means almost no calories.

In fact, one serving of PerfectAmino is equivalent to 30 grams of protein from whey. But instead of the 120 calories that comes along with it… with PerfectAmino, you get 2. This makes it perfect for preventing muscle loss during Intermittent fasting as it can be taken before a workout without breaking a fast.

It is literally the cleanest, most utilized, protein source there is.

It’s also in a form that is fully absorbed into the blood stream in an average of 23 minutes.

So, if taken 20-30 minutes before a workout, it will be present in the bloodstream and able to help repair micro-tears in the muscle as they occur, improving energy and endurance as well as much faster recoveries and lean gains.

For building lean, toned muscle, without the calories or excess fat gain – and improving skin and hair – there is nothing better. And it comes with a 100% Money-Back Guarantee, so if it’s not everything we say it is, we’ll give you a full refund.

How Protein Utilization Works…AND WHY WHEY MAY BE GETTING IN THE ROAD OF YOUR GOALS

The difference between essential and non-essential amino acids isn’t that any are actually less “essential” than others. It’s that your body cannot produce the ones called “essential amino acids” on its own. It HAS to get them from outside sources.

But, when it gets all of the essential amino acids from an outside source, then it can use them to make any of the other “non-essential” amino acids it needs. But they have to be in the right ratio.

What do I mean by that?

It’s not as simple of having one of each.

More of some are needed and less of others. A bicycle has 2 tires, 1 frame, 1 handle bar, 1 chain, 2 brakes and 1 seat. You need all of those to make a bike, but a tire or handle bar won’t make you another whole bike. So if you had 3 wheels to start with you’d be left with an extra you couldn’t use. And that’s the problem.

The same is true when dealing with amino acids. too much of one or another cannot be used and is excess. Similarly, excess non-essential amino acids are almost wholly not utilized.

Only what the body NEEDS is used.

And as the body can’t store amino acids for use later, to pair them with new amino acids coming in, it has two choices. It can convert them to direct energy, glucose (blood sugar), and then eliminate them via the kidneys and urine, or it can store them as fat.

The main thing that determines which it does is metabolism.

How much excess sugar can the body burn?

• That’s why as we get older it’s easier to gain weight and harder to lose it.
• Our metabolism is slower.
• So if it’s given low-utilization proteins like whey then more starts being converted to fats and less to sugars to be burn
• But when given the all of the Essential Amino Acids in the exact ratio, no matter the age it can put them all to use.

So how do different protein sources score as far as utilization rates?

Different Proteins Are Utilized At Different Rates…AND SOME ARE VERY BAD
WE’LL START AT THE BOTTOM RUNG OF THE LADDER: BCAAS.

As these cannot on their own be turned into protein for the body without the other essential amino acids, they are almost wholly useless at 1%. This takes into account any excess EAAs in the blood stream from other protein sources.

Whey, Soy and Pea Powders.

These average between 16-18% utilization with the rest being converted to glucose or fats.

High levels of these and/or BCAAs cause trouble for the kidneys and are responsible for that ammonia smell some people get in their sweat or urine.

Collagen Powder rates vary depending on the different types or amounts of amino acids added to them. They range anywhere from 16-30% utilization.

Red Meats, Fish and Poultry are utilized at 32%.

And Whole Eggs are utilized at 48%. Note they must be whole eggs. the whites, sometimes taken alone to avoid fats, are utilized at 16%.

PerfectAmino, as it is pure Essential Amino Acids in an exact ratio — and nothing else — is utilized at 99%. This is according to blood and urine tests.

And since they are almost completely utilized, there is virtually no waste and only 2 calories per serving.

THE EFFICACY OF ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS (EAAS)…THERE IS ACTUALLY A LOT OF BACKGROUND RESEARCH ON THIS BLEND OF AMINO ACIDS. THIS ISN’T JUST “THEORY” OR AN IDEA SOMEONE CONCOCTED.

Here’s more on that:

It was found that you see significant muscle-preserving effects from essential amino acid supplements when ingested, especially during training in a fasted or ketotic state.

This includes decreased indicators of muscle damage and maintenance of a healthy inflammatory response. [1]

This means that if you took some essential amino acids, and consumed nothing else, you wouldn’t “cannibalize” as much lean muscle during a fasted workout session.

It would be the same for working out during or after a long intermittent fast, a bout of ketosis, a marathon, Ironman Triathlon or any other long event.

Then there is the study showing that consuming an essential amino acid mix after intense resistance training actually increased muscle protein growth and net muscle protein balance, indicating that taking these essential amino acids post-workout may stimulate faster muscle repair, recovery and growth. [2]

Another study showed the potential for these Essential Amino Acids to cause muscle growth and regeneration because they are a potent rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) activator (activates cell growth), causing muscle satellite cell proliferation (for healing after injury).

This gives them similar muscle building potential as to a large steak, but WITHOUT the large number of calories, preparation time or digestive strain.[3]

Also, as you get older, your muscles produce less, or have a delayed ability to proliferate satellite cells in response to exercise.

This is bad, especially when considering that satellite cells are essential for skeletal-muscle regeneration. However, it was found that those who consumed these Essential Amino Acids after resistance exercise had a far greater satellite cell proliferation capacity than those who didn’t supplement. [4]

This is very important, especially if you’re interested in anti-aging, since muscle mass and resistance training keep you young.

Lastly, there was a study with a 51 year old female who walked across the Taklimakan desert in China, consuming these Essential Amino Acids as her ONLY protein source. She finished the trek in 24 days after which she underwent numerous tests concluding that she showed no muscle loss and was in excellent health.

Essential Amino Acids – AND THEIR IMPACT ON LOW CARB AND KETO REGIMENS

Ketosis is a state wherein your body switches to fat-burning for fuel. This is good, but many people who experiment with Ketosis, or carbohydrate restriction, experience muscle loss (catabolism) as a result.

There are two reasons for this: 1) Inadequate levels of amino acids from protein and 2) Many people, in their effort to attain ketosis, mistakenly restrict protein consumption so as not to spike their blood glucose and thus they are thrown out of ketosis.

Sticking to a low-carb diet (or fasting) can actually be much easier when essential amino acids are present.

For starters, EAAs won’t break your state of ketosis, unlike major food sources of protein like steak and eggs. EAAs also allow you to maintain and build muscle — something you simply can’t do with BCAAs alone.

And, with only four calories in a 5-tablet serving of PerfectAmino, all in the right forms and ratios and 99% utilized, they won’t turn into sugar and they won’t spike your levels.

Lastly, as PerfectAmino enters your blood stream within 23 minutes, it can be consumed during a strict, fat-based ketosis diet as a primary source of protein throughout the day for energy and performance.

This strategy can significantly help one remain in ketosis while performing at a very high level.

1.    PerfectAmino is 99% utilized for power, energy, and recovery.
Essential amino acids that we get from foods (meat, eggs, beans, and nuts) must be digested before they’re available to muscles, tissues, and cells. For a variety of reasons, the digestive process is not perfect. Aging, stress (both physical and emotional), gastrointestinal imbalances, unhealthy dietary choices, and the use of medications all get in the way of the body’s ability to enzymatically metabolize and process foods and render their essential amino acids bioavailable. Since PerfectAmino provides a vegetable-based trove of all eight essential amino acids in their pure, elemental form, no digestion is required.

2.    PerfectAmino is very quickly absorbed.
Even if your digestive systems were perfect, it would take several hours for your body to be able to utilize the amino acids it has processed and release them into the bloodstream. When taken on its own, PerfectAmino is absorbed into the bloodstream within 23 minutes for nearly instant strength and recovery.

3.    PerfectAmino is perfectly formulated.
PerfectAmino is a comprehensive formula featuring a unique combination of all eight essential amino acids (50% of which are branched-chain amino acids, or BCAAs). This formula is so complete that it could serve as your sole source of protein, although we recommend it as a super-supplement to a healthy diet. If you consumed only BCAAs or natural plant proteins (which don’t have optimal levels of ALL the essential amino acids required by your cells and systems), your health—and performance—would be impacted.

4.    PerfectAmino does not create metabolic waste.
Because PerfectAmino is completely absorbed and 99% utilized for anabolic (growth and repair) purposes, there is no nitrogen waste (a by-product of protein metabolism) to tax the kidneys. This 99% utilization makes PerfectAminoXP the ideal source of pure, elemental protein for people who have diabetes or require kidney-support nutrition. As a comparison, animal and vegetable proteins are, at best, 30% utilized by the body for its anabolic needs.

5.    PerfectAmino fends off inflammation.
Humans evolved hunting and eating whole animals as food. However, in modern times, we primarily eat animal flesh, which is high in the inflammatory amino acid, methionine, and low in the anti-inflammatory amino acids, glycine, and proline (found in tendons, ligaments, and organs). Since PerfectAminoXP is low in methionine, its regular use will reduce inflammation by restoring natural balance.

6.    PerfectAmino helps maintain muscle mass.
Age and training stress contribute to lean muscle loss. Since PerfectAmino is perfectly balanced and 99% utilized by the body, almost everyone can maintain high levels of the essential amino acids responsible for muscular growth and recovery, regardless of their age or how much they train.

7.    PerfectAmino can take the place of excess protein and boost fat loss.
Each 6.5-gram serving of PerfectAmino (1 scoop) is equivalent to approximately 40 grams of whey, collagen, or soy protein, yet contains only a few calories. Therefore, by replacing 40 grams of this protein with PerfectAminoXP, you can reduce 160 calories from your daily diet (30 grams of protein x 4 calories per gram). And since PerfectAmino enhances muscle mass, this reduction in calories will not reduce muscle mass or slow down your metabolism.

8.    PerfectAmino tackles hunger and food cravings.
PerfectAmino offers your hard-working body nutrients that reduce false hunger signals. Additionally, since the product is not digested or metabolized, you can take it before high-intensity interval training, intermittent fasting, or cold therapy.

9.    PerfectAmino is super-convenient.
Take 5-10 tablets first thing in the morning, before a workout, after a workout, before bed, or any time you feel a hunger craving coming on during a fast. PerfectAmino is ideal on an empty stomach but can be taken at any point in the day that works for you.

10.    PerfectAmino can help everyone!

 

Athletes take advantage of PerfectAmino for muscular strength and recovery. Healthcare practitioners recommend it to their patients before and after procedures (since it cuts down on recovery time). People who seek kidney-health support use it as a source of waste-free protein. Others utilize it to lose fat weight and reduce inflammation.

Pure essential amino acids in a form that is both 99% utilized (3-6x the protein of other sources with almost no calories) and fully absorbed within 20-30 minutes! 100% vegan and non-GMO.

WHAT IS PERFECT AMINO POWDER?
Perfect Amino Powder is the powdered version of our Flagship product Perfect Amino. One scoop of this powder gives you the equivalence of 5 tablets, in a delicious flavored drink, which is great for those of us who have a hard time taking lots of tablets. Just mix with ice water and enjoy!

AMINO ACIDS – THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF PROTEIN
Many people know that protein is essential for optimum health, but most assume they consume enough protein from the food they eat. So why the need for an amino acid supplement?

The simple answer is that – yes, you do get good quality from foods such as eggs, meat, fish, and nuts, but much of the protein in food is not converted into body protein.

Sadly, much of the protein from common dietary sources is turned into waste, burned as calories, or converted into sugars and fats.

Almost everyone is protein deficient without realizing it. It plays out as a nagging injury that won’t heal in athletes, brittle bones in menopausal women, or constant colds in children. Protein deficiency is often something you are aware of but can’t quite identify. So what’s the solution? Perfect Amino is an amino acid supplement that is 99% utilized by the body to make protein. No other form of protein comes close!*

Suggested Use:
