In this episode, Angelo Keely, CEO and Co-founder of Kion, discusses the importance of amino acids as the building blocks of protein. He explains the difference between essential and non-essential amino acids and their role in stimulating protein synthesis. Keely highlights the significance of protein intake for muscle growth and repair, especially with aging, and the effectiveness of essential amino acid supplements in meeting daily protein needs.

We emphasize the benefits of consuming essential amino acids for protein synthesis, energy production, and overall health. We recommend taking essential amino acids before exercise to boost protein synthesis and recovery. We also discuss the hydration benefits of essential amino acids and the differences between BCAAs and collagen. For those struggling to get enough protein, such as vegans and vegetarians, they suggest supplementing with essential amino acids and choosing a clean, scientifically-backed product.
