Protein Powder – The Most Important Ingredient

What’s the most important ingredient when choosing a protein powder? You might have not heard of it.

When choosing a protein supplement, it is important to choose one with special amino acids called branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). What is a BCAA? The body’s proteins are made up of 20 different amino acids that in different combinations make thousands of proteins in the human body. Of the 20, nine are considered essential, meaning your body can’t make them so they must be obtained through your diet. Of these nine, three essential amino acids are classified as BCAAs. All three are important for muscle growth and development.

Three amino acids – valine, leucine and isoleucine – are the BCAAs you need. They are unique amino acids because they have branched side chains and are present in very high amounts in muscle tissue in comparison to other amino acids. BCAAs are responsible for muscle mass and they help alleviate muscle fatigue caused by muscle damage. If you’re sore after exercise or simply want to build more muscle mass, you need BCAAs. These three BCAAs account for 40 to 45% of all amino acids your body needs, and 35% of the essential ones, so you need a constant and steady intake.

The body can’t make these, so a diet of dairy, eggs and meat can usually provide daily BCAA protein amounts. But what if you don’t like or don’t eat dairy, eggs and meat? This is why choosing a BCAA protein powder is a good idea.

BCAAs can also help reduce or prevent muscle wasting. The body usually balances protein breakdown with protein synthesis (rebuilding) but muscle wasting occurs when breakdown exceeds the rebuilding. It is often a sign of cancer, chronic infection and of course malnutrition.

If eggs, dairy and meat are not your thing, there is a supplement. It’s called Touchstone Super Protein and we’ll talk more about it in Friday’s newsletter.

08-09-21 Deep Dive PREMIUM – with Jamie Walden

Meet Jamie Walden, of Omega Dynamics. Imbued with matchless passion for all things “adventurous” and “fun”, Jamie’s teen years were filled with significant tumult (injuries, arrests, and choices of near life-long consequence). However, amid the rebellion and ruckus, Jamie continually endeavored to one day earn the title, “U.S. Marine”. After being nominated to attend the National Youth Leadership Forum on Defense, Intelligence, and Diplomacy in Washington, D.C., where he subsequently secured a nomination to the US Naval Academy, Jamie made the determination to simply enlist in the Marine Corps Infantry and achieve his childhood dream.

After leaving the Marines Corps, Jamie obtained a double major B.S. in Law Enforcement and History. Pursuing a career in Federal Law Enforcement, Jamie was selected as an Intern for the United States Marshals Service, and subsequent recruitment to a “Three Letter” agency. It was then, when Jamie received “the call”, that the Lord began testing and affirming the genuineness of his faith.

After again returning to Iraq in 2014 to serve the Christians suffering under the savage campaign of ISIS, Jamie and his wife Virginia were compelled to surrender their paradigm and follow the Lord into full-time ministry.

“The Mission of Omega Dynamics is this: to teach, train and equip “Those with ears to hear” to stand anew in their rightful place as more than conquerors in a kingdom that cannot be shaken…this generation is literally, eternally dying for us to”
