How it works in the human body

1. You consume a protein-rich food (or beverage).
2. The food makes its way through your digestive tract, during which:
a) Proteins are broken down into polypeptide chains by enzymes
in the stomach.
b) More enzymes released in the small intestines eventually break
down these polypeptide chains into individual amino acids.
c) Amino acids move across the cell walls of the small intestine
into the bloodstream.
3. Amino acids are then transported throughout the body via the
bloodstream, and are utilized to support normal, healthy functioning,
including muscle building and muscle recovery.
