Document Summary
4. 1. 1 protein quality: two major factors influence protein quality, digestibility: refers to the proportion of the consumed amino acids that are absorbed and disappeared from the gi tract. 4. 2 addicted to protein: people of all age, shape, sizes and health consume proteins supplements. Video: addicted to protein: 2 sides: protein through supplementation vs. protein through the food-first, dr. close: just thinking that having that protein supplement will make you bulk up is not correct. You can get addicted to the idea of protein: the amount of excess protein you need to cause kidney problems is a profound excess. This means that the dietary protein consumed is sufficient to yield amino acids (and thus nitrogen) to meet needs of protein synthesis to support growth, repair, cellular maintenance, and overall health. In other words, at this intake level, no excess nitrogen from amino acids is oxidized or excreted.
