Ascent maybe?
Does that ring a bell?
I really like them.
Again, I'll give them a shout out because one, it was the only protein I found I could mix directly in water and not have it be lumpy.
I didn't even need a blender.
This sounds silly, but the hassle of me having to like wash a blender twice a day was sometimes an impediment to not making a shake.
So just to be able to put the scoop or two scoops I would usually put into a glass with water and mix it with a fork and actually drink it and have it be totally fine and not lumpy.
I don't know how they do this, but it was amazing.
It actually tasted fine.
I don't like sweet drinks that much, but it was not too sweet and absolutely no GI issues at all.
Whereas sometimes the pure egg proteins, I didn't like the feeling on my gut.
So for whatever reason, that worked for me.
But to your point, it's another level of challenge if you're trying to recomp in that way.
We've seen in our patients, I get asked this all the time, I would say 15 to 20% of our patients are on trizepatide.
And unlike five years ago when we started using semaglutide in patients and were just watching muscle fall off these people, and frankly, my point of view five years ago was
I don't know about these drugs.
I think there's some benefit in some people, but I think there's a lot of downside.
I today think that virtually anybody can use these drugs safely.
By safely, I don't just mean in the obvious sense of the word.
I mean safely for long-term muscle health as well.
