Plain-language summary

The importance of protein in nutrition is momentous to ones health. Dietary proteins are essentially nutritional because they contain amino acids, which the body uses to build its own proteins, as well as other molecules that are essential for life. Protein when consumed, travels through your digestive system and is absorbed. They then enter the blood for transport to bodily tissues, and therefore, can be detected by blood sampling. There are differing amounts of each amino acid found in different types of protein supplements. Certain amino acids (the essential amino acids) are helping in stimulating muscle growth and helping to maintain muscle mass and function. It is important to understand how quickly these amino acids can be detected in your blood as well as how they affect blood glucose (blood sugar) and insulin activity. Understanding the effects of protein type on changes in levels of blood amino acids, glucose and insulin will provide helpful insight for the suggestion of supplement use.
