You might have fractures or bone issues.

Your teeth, right?

Bone is made from protein, 40% protein.

There are all kinds of problems that will begin on a subtle level.

I think creatine is phenomenal.

I think fish oil is phenomenal.

I think vitamin D, there are vitamin D receptors on muscle.

I think that that's really important.

Um, I think having a great multivitamin and someone's going to say, if you are, and I would say if you are vegan or vegetarian, having either an essential amino acid profile or adding in a straight branch chain, amino acid mix of, uh, leucine, isoleucine and valine to a lower protein meal, one scoop, five grams would be very beneficial because now you raise that amino acid threshold.

Remember, we're not just talking about protein in a 24 hour period.

We are talking about and advancing the conversation to a meal requirement.

Consistently.

It's a daily need.

And it's about at least getting those two meals corrected for higher protein.

It doesn't.

But remember, protein in a matrix whole food is phenomenal because, for example, we'll take beef because you were talking about creatine.

There's creatine in beef.

There's taurine.

There's B vitamins.

There's iron.
