Protein is not the problem. Absorption is.
🧬 Protein is not the problem. Absorption is. You can eat 100-120g of protein a day and still lose muscle – if your body isn't absorbing, synthesizing or using it efficiently. 🔍 Here's what's often overlooked:
– Low stomach acid, inflamed gut or lack of zinc, B6, magnesium → protein is not broken down well and converted to urea.
– Low T3 or chronic inflammation → cells cannot build tissues.
- Even a "perfect" diet fails with neuroinflammation or hormonal imbalance.
- The liver plays a key role in the activation and transformation of amino acids. 💡 The solution is not more protein, but better absorption + utilization. 📌 Support your protein metabolism by:
• Healthy digestion
• Micronutrients (Zn, Mg, B6)
• Support for mitochondria
• Drainage of fascia and extracellular matrix
• Thyroid balance (especially T3)
• Calming the nervous system 🧪 If you lose strength despite good nutrition - look for the root: absorption, synthesis and regulation.
