Proteins are involved in most everything in your body. Consumed protein is broken down in your body and reconstructed "on demand" based on your personal and your microbiome's genetic instruction-set. When looking to supplement protein intake, several types of protein powders are available. Which is best for you? Picking the most pure, cleanest protein powder is very important for you and your health. Regardless of the protein powder you choose, stay away from artificial sweeteners! Always try to sweeten with cellular-based sweeteners, and look to mix with 'superfoods' when possible. To learn more, please see www.eidopro.com.

3. Let’s Talk Protein
Building and repair of
body tissues (esp.
muscle)
Enzymatic, hormonal,
inflammatory, and
immune response
Water balance,
nutrient transport,
muscle contraction,
etc.
Energy management,
storage, etc.
Proteins are involved in most everything:

4. Proteins are “hydrolyzed” in your gut
Your stomach breaks
down proteins into
their amino acid
building blocks
Your genes instruct
protein (re)synthesis

5. Proteins are reconstructed “on demand”
Your genes
Your microbiome
(Very important and often overlooked)
e.g. Lactose Intolerance

6. Whey v. Soy v. Casein

7. WPI v. WPC v. WPH

9. Branched-Chain
Amino Acids
(BCAAs)
•Reduce soreness
•Promote recovery
•Increase performance
•Increase the rate of protein
synthesis

10. Avoid Artificial Sweeteners,
Use Natural “Cellular-based” Sweeteners
Artificial sweeteners induce glucose intolerance by altering the gut microbiota
