It's currently "in" to incorporate protein as a supplement into your daily routine. That's true. Can we claim it's healthy? If used intelligently, of course. Let's start from the beginning. We are basically a lot of amino acids, which need fats, vitamins, and minerals to function properly. Oops, forgot carbohydrates! No, that was a joke. Our body produces carbohydrates when necessary. That means we don't need any extra.

What are proteins? Where do we need them?


Proteins are chains of amino acids. Our bodies are capable of producing everything themselves, as long as we consume the essential amino acids that we don't produce in our daily diet.


Do we really care about that? Is that really the case? Unfortunately, pretty much everything is supposed to happen faster. Everything has to grow quickly, be finished quickly, and then be available. You don't have to be a genius to know that something can get lost. In this case, quality. Plants and animals can't absorb and develop everything if growth is rushed.


How is it possible to consume proteins/amino acids healthily?


There are no guarantees these days. However, you would be doing nature a favor by buying from fair-trade companies, stores, markets, farm shops, or slaughterhouses whenever possible. You don't have to start calculating how much you're consuming with each bite. Your body and mood will quickly reveal when something is wrong: fatigue, indigestion... (don't forget, many things can cause these symptoms).


Attention! When we eat healthily, sleep well, exercise, and maintain our mindset, our machine, the body, is functioning at its best. Why? Because one depends on the other. We're talking about amino acids now, so let's stay here for a moment. All the others are formed from 20 amino acids, and that's what you do. Yes. Nine of them are essential, and two to three are semi-essential (because they depend on essential ones).


When does it make sense to supplement proteins?


If you've ever tested and know your body isn't building or absorbing certain proteins, it's possible. For example, people who have been taking acid suppressants for a long time are likely to have reduced or no absorption of B12. What does this have to do with amino acids or proteins? Without B12, homocysteine isn't converted into methionine. Methionine is a precursor to cysteine, which helps form the protein glutathione. B12 also plays a role in isoleucine, leucine, valine, and threonine. Incidentally, all of these are ultimately involved in antioxidant function, nerve function, and muscle function. And I've only provided a rough overview here.


A question that moves the world: What about proteins and cancer?


A very sensitive topic. Many cancer patients take amino acid infusions. It's good to note that certain types of cancer shouldn't take certain amino acids, for example, glutamine. Protein chains are generally unfavorable because the kidneys have to work harder to metabolize them. The best option is to take the amino acids directly, especially the essential ones. Everyone should consult with an expert, doctor, etc.


What about the whey trend?


Unfortunately, I have to address a NO-GO here. Whey supplements severely overload the liver and produce massive amounts of carbohydrates. This overloads the pancreas and, in the worst case, can trigger diabetes. Athletes achieve much greater performance and strength through animal-based diets than through plant-based and artificially produced supplements.


What about women regarding menopause?


Women over 40 lose more muscle. A daily dose of creatine is fine. If this is respected, muscle cells and their function are optimally maintained. Let's assume the women exercise three times a week or even daily. Coenzyme Q10 is also a great help. It provides energy to the cells, particularly through mitochondrial function. It also has anti-aging effects and helps prevent cancer (since mitochondrial function is crucial).


Many women like to take collagen. It's a tripeptide, meaning it combines three amino acids, one of which is essential, lysine.


And what is right now?


We need a certain amount of amino acids, minerals, vitamins, and water every day. This is a fact. We should never forget: both a deficiency and an excess are detrimental.


Especially if chronic diseases are present, it is better to seek professional advice.


I'm still a quantum physics practitioner: energy precedes matter. For this, I've developed amino acid frequencies in sound, frequencies for regeneration and rebuilding of body and mind. This is a preventative and curative part of my daily routine. You can find them at HTGMusic.
