Why Protein and Amino Acids Matter

Protein is more than just a macronutrient—it’s the foundation of muscle growth, hormone production, and metabolic health. But are you consuming enough of it, and are you getting the right kind?

Angelo Keely explains how essential amino acids, the building blocks of protein, are crucial for stimulating muscle synthesis and maintaining lean body mass, especially as we age.
