The current dietary reference intake (DRI) of protein for persons 18 and older, irrespective of physical activity status, is 0.5g per pound of body weight per day (i.e., 110g of protein for a 220-pound person).

For athletes, many sports nutrition experts conclude that protein requirements are higher.* Protein recommendations for endurance athletes are 0.6 to 0.7 g per pound of body weight per day, whereas those for resistance and strength-trained athletes may be as high as 0.8 to 0.85g per pound of body weight per day.

Protein promotes muscle adaptation during recovery from exercise in several ways including:

• Aiding in the repair of exercise-induced damage to muscle fibers.
• Promoting training-induced adaptations in muscle fibers (e.g., synthesis of new proteins that are involved in energy production and/or force generation).
• Facilitating the replenishment of depleted energy stores.

Exercises with high intensity, heavy lifting or resistance increase the rates of both protein synthesis and protein breakdown in muscle for at least 24 hours after a workout. Unless protein is consumed during recovery, breakdown will exceed synthesis, resulting in the loss of muscle mass. Furthermore, protein consumed after exercise assists in the repair and synthesis of muscle proteins, making it vital to the recovery process.

Essential amino acids are superior to non-essential amino acids for stimulating muscle growth. Adding carbohydrates to a protein mixture does not markedly affect the muscle anabolic response, but it does confer other benefits, including the re-synthesis of muscle glycogen. Muscle glycogen is the predominant fuel for energy during exercise, and the ability to rapidly replenish glycogen stores during recovery is important for athletes.

At MVEMENT, we offer two specialized proteins:

All Day Whey: Designed for all-purpose use, All Day Whey can be taken any time during your day to supplement your diet. It contains 41g grass-fed protein, 15g grass-fed collagen, omegas 3-6-9 oil grade powder, and 8g branch chain amino acids (BCAAs). It’s non-GMO, sweetened with Stevia, and has all-natural flavors. All Day Whey is a potent weight management formula that supports healthy digestion and joint function. It also helps build and retain lean muscle definition.

Whey to Recovery: Another favorite, Recovery Whey is a comprehensive formulation designed specifically for optimal recovery. Post workout, whey protein helps build and retain lean muscle definition and supports joint function. Recovery Whey contains 41g protein, 15g collagen, omegas 3-6-9, and 8g BCAAs. It’s sweetened with Stevia and has all-natural flavors. Recovery Whey aids in the repair of exercise-induced damage to muscle fibers, promotes training-induced adaptations in muscle fibers (e.g., synthesis of new proteins that are involved in energy production and/or force generation), and facilitates the replenishment of depleted energy stores. Like All Day Whey, it helps build and retain lean muscle definition.

Our All Day Whey protein and Recovery Whey protein each contain 15g of collagen. We also offer No Whey Collagen, a non-GMO, grass-fed, free-range collagen. It contains 12g protein, 1g carbohydrates, no sugar, is sweetened with Stevia and has all-natural flavors. It is designed to easily mix with your favorite hot or cold coffee brew, herbal teas and smoothie recipes to give you maximum benefits.

As the most abundant protein in the body, collagen is in your muscles, skin, blood, bones, cartilage, and ligaments. The benefits of collagen are so striking because it not only helps give your skin strength and elasticity, but it also replaces dead skin cells.

When it comes to your joints and tendons, Collagen is the “glue” that helps hold your body together. Collagen production naturally begins to slow as you age, leading to degenerative signs of aging, such as wrinkles, sagging skin and joint pains.

Adding a serving of this vital protein to your diet can promote skin elasticity, protect your organs, hold together your bones and muscles and provide structure to your joints and tendons. Other benefits of collagen include easing joint pain, reversing skin aging, building muscle and burning fat, reducing cellulite and improving digestive health.
