The BEST Supplement To Build Muscle & Bone During Perimenopause

What do you recommend that is not expensive?? I’m poor ....jeez

This is what I recommend for all "older people": You have to eat your protein to build muscle, there is no way around, so prioritize (animal based) protein. However, the older you get the more pronounced your amino acid based trigger for muscle synthesis needs to be. The only one that really counts is Leucine. 1300mg of Leucin is like 10g of protein. So instead of eating your normal 30g of protein per meal plus another 10g of protein because you are old, just eat 30g of protein plus 1300mg of Leucin and you get the same effect for muscle growth as 40g of protein (which may be hard to eat each meal). But there is no point in just eating a 10g protein meal and add 3900mg of Leucin, because the body will not have the protein it needs available.

I love how you examine the research and give us your recommendations from the research you’ve studied. Thank you.

Your videos are essential

Thank you ...again ! I can not express in words my gratitude for all the work you do to help us get healthy and in turn , a happy life. Also , thank you for the free Masterclass to help with the question about how to put the info together . I am doing that this week . Thank you !!!

In the 3rd study the abstract concluded: 'These preliminary data indicate that nutritional supplements with the oral AA mixture significantly increased whole-body lean mass in elderly subjects with sarcopenia. The improvement in the amount of whole-body lean mass could be linked to increased insulin sensitivity and anabolic conditions related to IGF-1 availability.' Does this mean the increase in lean mass was due solely to the supplementation with no change in activity, resistance or cardio? I realize the gains would most likely be better if there was concurrent weight bearing activity. This seems almost to good to be true.

Thank you for your ongoing exploration of how to maintain healthy bones and muscles as we age! I appreciate the PureClean recommendation. Did the company provide amounts of the EAA’s in their formulation? It isn’t listed on their ingredients list.

Thoughts about creatine supplementation for women?

Collagen types 1,2 and 3 seem helpful. Hydrolysed low molecular weight and UC-II

I always appreciate the work you put into the studies to break it down for us but l am from Australia and most of the recommended products l can’t get here or they are super expensive to ship over. Is there any chance you would consider breaking down at the end or even put in the description box what l am supposed to be directly looking for in a product so that l can try to find the best one l can in my country? 😊😊

Thanks. Very helpful. I’ve been taking Optimal Amino tablets, but somewhat on faith. Any other recommendations for people who can’t/wont ingest monk fruit/stevia? Specific recommendations for amino ratios?

Your videos are very useful, but please could you give us some products that we can buy in Europe? I was so excited about Fundaminos - but only for USA and Canada.

Is there a product on their site that may be beneficial but without stevia?

You have great information I’m in my 60’s and I do want to be as healthy as I can be but the reality is we all will get old and die I have come to accept this and I’m a lot happier Sure, exercise and eat healthy and take some supplements but I think sometimes we may be going overboard? We all get old, we are not getting younger

Is this something someone with ER+ breast cancer can take? And is on anastrazole?

I would NOT concentrate on "essential amino acids". The difference between the "essential amino acids" and many of the "non-essential ones" is that your body cannot make essential amino-acids at all and and (most probably) cannot make enough to be healthy of many of the non-essential amino acids. Prioritizing the essential ones probably means you neglect the non-essential ones. E.g. ask yourself how much Cystein, Glycine, Taurine are you really making per day? Do you even eat enough of the essential precursors of those? Is it worth creating all the metabolic by-products to make the non-essential ones? In basically every study on these kinds of non-essential amino acids, the gain in health when increasing them in the diet is huge. Why? because today we don't get enough of them in our food and we don't make them in high enough quantities in our bodies.

Does Fundaminos replace protein powder or collegan peptides powder?

How much is adequate protein?

What about consuming bone broth?

Is the amount of L phenylalanine in it minute enough to not be concerned about possible side effects without someone needing to find out if they have PKU and never being diagnosed with it at age 72?
