And then vitamin B, you can get that to a pretty great extent from meat.
It's always an uphill battle for someone who follows a plant-based diet to have all the brain support that they need because
You have lower levels of vitamin B. You have lower levels in many cases of the fats that I was talking about, like the DHA and oleic acid.
You have lower amounts of protein.
And it's not as though you can't eat a good plant-based diet and get a lot of that stuff.
It's just harder than if you were eating meat.
Just protein in general.
I mean, I'd even say just digestive enzymes, not just for protein, but in general as you age, as pancreatic enzyme production just decreases with age, it's a good idea to take digestive enzymes.
A lot of people who get more gas and bloating from foods that didn't used to cause them issues-
will be able to get rid of that if they take digestive enzymes with their meal.
And protein is one of the biggest.
I take digestive enzymes now, I'm 43.
I take them with pretty much every meal except, and this is not like deeply rooted in scientific principles, it's just my own theory, when I have a smoothie, because it's kind of like easy to digest, it's blended and everything, and I might be totally off base, like
There actually was one research study that showed that, back to the plant-based thing, if you have a plant-based protein like pea, hemp, rice, and you have whey protein, usually the whey protein would have more amino acid bioavailability than the plant-based protein.
But if you take digestive enzymes with a plant-based protein, and in this study, they were actually using like smoothie, like protein powder.
the availability, the bioavailability of the amino acids in the plant-based protein becomes just as good as the animal-based protein.
So technically, I probably could get even more benefit if I just threw a handful of digestive enzymes into my smoothie, but there's just so many things to do and so little time when I'm making my morning smoothie.
Right.
Right before I got to get on a phone call.
It's just like one extra step to take.
