The truth about Muscle Gains & Weight Loss Supplements #Part 1

We've All Been Sold A 10 Lb Jug Of "The Protein Lie"
Starting in the 80’s, supplement companies began pushing massive protein consumption. We all believed that “MORE PROTEIN = MORE MUSCLE GROWTH”.

I’m here to tell you that IT’S A BIG FAT LIE.

Let’s say you eat an 8 oz chicken breast. You’re consuming about 40 grams of protein.

However -- just because something contains 40 grams of protein… it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re gonna absorb all 40 grams. Without enzymes, most of it ends up in your toilet bowl.

This is because your small intestine can only absorb protein that’s been broken down into smaller building blocks -- called amino acids.Protein-Shake.png

Absorption Is Everything...
How To Increase The Bioavailability Of Your Protein
Potent enzymes called proteases break down protein into absorbable, anabolic amino acids… which are what your muscles require for recovery and growth.

It doesn’t matter if you’re consuming 30 grams of protein… or 300 grams of protein -- if you don’t have a sufficient supply of enzymes to digest the protein, your muscles will be starving for those vital building blocks.

A great enzyme formula contains various proteases that work at different pH levels. This ensures that the protein gets broken down into amino acids at every stage of digestion.

Crank Your Anabolic Drive To New Heights By
Flooding Your Muscles With Maximum Amino Acids
Without Increasing Your Protein Intake By A Single Gram
Now that you understand the power of enzymes, it’s no mystery why I can easily build muscle mass by eating only 85 grams of vegetarian protein a day.

If you’re eating meat, fish and eggs, enzymes are even more crucial because every time you eat cooked food, your body withdraws enzymes from your “enzyme bank account” to digest the meal.

The more cooked food you eat (this includes almost every protein powder) -- the worse it gets.

The enzymes get drained faster and faster… leading to digestive nightmares. All this undigested protein leads to a disgusting caked up intestinal tract that blocks amino acid absorption.

If you’re dropping toilet bombs that peel the paint off the gym walls, then you KNOW there’s a serious problem going on in your gut.

The truth is: if you’re not using enzymes -- you’ve got a serious handicap when it comes to putting on lean muscle mass. You’re lucky if you’re absorbing 40% of the protein from your food.

Science Has Shown Proteolytic Enzymes Speed Up Recovery…
So You Can Hit The Gym Harder And Grow Faster
Exercise scientists have published some remarkable research about proteolytic enzymes in the past decade.

Most notably, a study by Beck et al in 2007 demonstrated a “statistically significant” difference in recovery time between subjects given proteolytic enzymes… and subjects given a placebo.

“Statistically significant” is critical -- because it means the results were real, and didn’t occur due to random chance or the placebo effect.

Here’s what happened: the men in the study were given strength tests throughout a two week period…

At the end of the study, the group given the proteolytic enzymes was able to produced greater overall force with their muscle, leading the experimenters to conclude recovery was quicker.

KEEP THIS IN MIND: Faster Recovery = more time and opportunity for muscle growth.
