Protein Optimization

Meaning

Protein Optimization is a targeted nutritional and metabolic strategy aimed at maximizing the body’s efficient intake, digestion, absorption, and utilization of dietary protein to support tissue repair, muscle anabolism, and hormonal synthesis. This process involves ensuring not only adequate quantity but also high biological value and optimal timing of protein consumption. In the hormonal health context, protein optimization is critical for providing the necessary amino acid precursors for peptide hormones and supporting the maintenance of lean muscle mass, which is metabolically protective.
