88. Episode 88: A New Understanding Of Protein Absorption? (RESEARCH REVIEW)
19:21||Ep. 88In this episode of the pH Nutrition Podcast, hosts Luke and Liam explore a recent paper called 'The anabolic response to protein ingestion during recovery from exercise, has no upper limit in magnitude and duration in vivo in humans' Trommelen et al (2023)The study mainly contradicts previous assumptions about the body's protein absorption limits. The findings show a dose-response relationship between the amount of protein consumed and the anabolic response, indicating that humans may be able to absorb more protein than previously thought. The hosts discuss the potential applications of this new information, particularly with regards to intermittent fasting, high protein feeds, and scenarios where regular protein intake may not be possible. They highlight the need for further studies to understand this new perspective on protein absorption and its potential effect on a person's dietary regime.For more info on our programs head over to our website hereCheck out our Instagram page where we post tonnes of useful info here00:01 Introduction and Welcoming Remarks00:51 Discussion on Recent Research Review01:18 Understanding Protein Absorption02:07 Exploring the Study on Protein Ingestion03:49 Implications of the Study Findings05:59 Practical Applications of the Study14:39 Potential Limitations and Future Research Directions17:40 Conclusion and Final Thoughts87.
