Protein powders are overrated if you don't understand Essential Amino Acids.

Here's what actually matters for muscle growth and performance. 🏆🧵

Your body doesn’t actually use protein. It uses the building blocks of protein- amino acids.

Your body combines amino acids to form bone, muscles, hormones & neurotransmitters.

Your body can produce most of the amino acids it needs.

But there’s a twist…

There are 9 amino acids your body CANNOT produce.

You need to consume these 9 in order to function.

That's why they're called "Essential Amino Acids" or EAAs.

With these 9, your body can make all the rest.

Cool huh?

Protein has two major problems.

They require a highly acidic stomach to break them down and healthy intestines to absorb them.

Poor digestion leads to protein deficiency.

EAAs solve this problem.

EAAs are already broken down & absorbed within minutes.

Next, you need to know the dirty truth about protein, especially protein powders, which are garbage.

Why? Besides being highly processed & unnatural

Protein powders have the wrong ratio of amino acids.

In fact, whey and soy protein are less than 20% utilized!

Inside the body, most proteins convert more into sugar than muscle.

This is because their balance of amino acids WAY off.

A properly balanced EAA supplement solves this second problem as well.

Providing all 9 essential amino acids in the correct ratio.

I spent months researching EAAs.

Most EAA drink powders are loaded with artificial sweeteners & flavors.

And “all-natural” EAA drink powders taste like ass.

I solved this by creating ULTIMATE EAA tablets.

No fillers, binders, or other crap - just EAAs amazon.com/dp/B0CKTQH4XQ?…

And if you’ve tried protein powders or BCAAs, you might think you’re covered.

But the truth is, these options are incomplete.

EAAs are far superior because they:

• Enter the bloodstream rapidly. No digestion is needed.
• Give you the complete profile of 9 amino acids

Another cool thing about EAAs is they have an extremely low caloric impact.

This makes them great for maintaining muscle—even on extreme diets.

But the main users of EAAs are athletes, gym junkies, and weekend warriors.

Those looking to support healthy energy and recovery.

It took me years to research and understand amino acids. I wish I knew sooner.
