BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Protein. Protein is one of the most essential macronutrients for muscle growth and repair because it’s packed with amino acids that your body does and doesn’t produce. That’s why it’s important to have protein post-workout to restore these muscle-building macronutrients.

Detailed explanation-2: -A diet containing mixed amino acids can help maximize muscle protein synthesis. The amino acid, leucine is responsible for many of the anabolic (muscle-building) processes. This is known as the “leucine trigger concept, ” since sufficient quantities of leucine trigger muscle protein synthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Protein. Dietary protein is the most important macronutrient for building muscle-specifically the essential amino acids and an abundance of leucine. 2 These particular amino acids stimulate protein synthesis, or building of new muscle, and prevent the body from using existing muscle as fuel during workouts.

Detailed explanation-4: -In trained young men of around 85kg body mass, our own study and others have shown that 20 grams of whey protein is enough to maximise muscle protein synthesis, although this may be closer to 40 grams after certain types of exercise.
