What is protein anyway, and why is it important to my health?
Protein is the primary component of your body’s 50 trillion cells. These cells make up your muscles, bones, joints, brain, nerves, cartilage, internal organs, etc. A typical protein molecule is a complex chain of several hundred individual amino acids, tightly woven together. Such a tightly woven chain can be difficult to digest, or unravel into its smaller components.
Since cells are dynamic living things–constantly dying off and reproducing themselves, protein is required to rebuild and replenish the cells that make up the vital structures of your body. What structures? For starters, your heart, liver, lungs, brain, nerves, bones, joints, muscles, reproductive organs, and on and on.
The Game Changer
Hydrolyzed Collagen
Our most basic protein, COLLAGEN is a major building block for the human body. It makes up 65% to 70% of all connective tissues, including your muscles, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, skin, hair, nails, and more. In fact, it’s the amino acids within collagen that are the key building blocks for these tissues. A healthful diet should include multiple sources of protein, for none alone is perfect. Recent medical studies have demonstrated that hydrolyzed collagen is one of the most readily available high-quality proteins ever discovered. Professional athletes and bodybuilders quickly learned just how effective hydrolyzed collagen can be to speed muscle repair, muscle building, and recovery after strenuous workouts. To supplement their nutritional sources, it’s often prescribed in hospitals as a protein supplement for patients following major injuries, burns, extensive surgical procedures, or to help speed recovery from debilitating illnesses or invasive treatments.
The process of hydrolyzing collagen can be thought of as predigesting or unraveling the complex protein molecules that make it up. Breaking collagen down into its component amino acids by this process makes these essential building blocks available to cells all over the body. Collagen can be hydrolyzed by heating it in a strong acid or alkaline environment, or through the use of proteolytic (protein-digesting) enzymes. This process makes it easier for the human gastrointestinal system to absorb amino acids directly and transfer them into the bloodstream. Cells that are actively reproducing or repairing themselves can immediately use these amino acids on demand. Hydrolyzed collagen makes a superior quality protein that supplies essential building blocks for the repair of muscles, joints, skin, cartilage, hair, nails, internal organs, and other soft tissues. Numerous studies have shown hydrolyzed collagen to be far superior to whey protein or any other protein source discovered to date in its digestibility and rapid availability of amino acids that are essential to cellular repair.
How Do Cells Function?
Individual cells of all organs and body structures take in nutrition from the blood stream, convert it to energy for cellular functions, discard waste materials, and–under certain circumstances–reproduce themselves. In the correct internal environment, a healthy cell will always repair itself when sick or injured. The energy required to fuel these functions is derived primarily from glucose, which comes from the intake of food and from energy stored in our bodies. So, protein serves as the building blocks of our cells, and the energy to perform normal cellular functions comes from ingested nutrition or stored glycogen (glucose,) protein, or fat.
Ingested nutrition arrives in the form of protein, simple or complex carbohydrates, and fat. Any of these substances can be converted into energy or stored in the body. Each can also be converted into protein as long as certain amino acids are present. For a quick overview, 21 amino acids are used to produce human protein molecules. The majority of these are somewhat interchangeable. This means they can be synthesized or manufactured in the body from other amino acids. A few that cannot be synthesized, and must therefore be supplied intact by dietary intake, are known as essential amino acids. Most authorities agree that nine of our amino acids are truly essential.
You don’t need to understand the details of this. It is important to understand that high-quality proteins are essential to your health–to insure the normal functioning of the cells of your body. You see, in our complex world today, we’re bombarded on a regular basis by harmful chemicals, environmental toxins, pesticides, herbicides, viruses, bacteria, radiation, physical injuries, and assaults that we haven’t even identified yet. High-quality proteins provide the amino acids required for your cells to heal from these external attacks or injuries. It’s extremely important that the protein sources in your diet be readily available to your cells. That is, to support this daily healing and repairing, they must be easily digestible in order to release the proper amino acids into your bloodstream.
