Our new study: are free amino acids superior for muscle protein synthesis?
Muscle protein synthesis is the process underlying muscle adaptation and is stimulated by protein ingestion and exercise.
Following ingestion, protein needs to be digested into amino acids (the building blocks of protein). The amino acids are then absorbed and released into the circulation and taken up by tissues such as muscle. Finally, the amino acids are taken up and incorporated into functional proteins in those tissues (protein synthesis).

Protein provides the building blocks for tissues such as muscle mass.
Ingested protein is digested into amino acids. Subsequently, these amino acids are:
- Absorbed in the gut
- Released into the circulation
- Taken up by tissues
- Incorporated into tissues (protein synthesis)
