My recent labs showed I wasn’t breaking protein down into usable amino acids efficiently… which meant I could eat all the “perfect” meals and still feel sore, drained, and stuck.
So I supported the process instead of just adding more protein.
Here’s what helped:
✅ Betaine HCL + digestive enzymes with meals to improve breakdown
✅ Amino acids during workouts to support real-time muscle repair
The shift?
Less soreness. Better energy. Workouts that finally felt productive instead of depleting.
If you’re doing everything “right” nutrition-wise but not seeing progress, the issue might not be what you’re eating — it might be how your body is processing it.
Protein only works if your digestion and cells can keep up.
