How Protein Goes to Muscles During Exercise 💪🧠
When you exercise, your muscles send a clear signal: repair needed. Muscle contractions boost blood flow to the working muscles, so amino acids from protein are delivered there first 🚚🧬
Exercise also turns on muscle protein synthesis, the rebuilding process that makes muscles stronger. For hours after training, muscles are extra good at pulling amino acids from the blood. Insulin helps guide them into muscle cells, especially post-workout 🍽️➡️💪
When protein intake is too low, your body still needs amino acids. It takes them from your own muscle tissue 😬 Recovery slows, strength stalls, and lean mass can drop even if you train consistently.
Bottom line:
Exercise decides where protein goes 🧭Protein intake decides if muscles get enough 🧱
👉👉Do you feel the difference in recovery when you’re consistent with protein? 👀💥
