📢 This Week in Health & Performance: What the Latest Research Says 🚀

🪥 Toothpaste Tech: Not all hydroxyapatite is created equal! Nano vs. micro hydroxyapatite can make a difference in dental health—find out why some types are more effective at remineralizing enamel (learn more here).

📉 Blood Glucose Reality Check: Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) often overestimate blood glucose levels. Instead of focusing on average values, track the frequency of glucose spikes and how long they stay elevated after meals to get a clearer picture of metabolic health (full study here).

🥩💪 Animal vs. Plant Protein: A recent meta-analysis suggests animal proteins are more anabolic than plant-based options, especially for older adults. Omnivores benefit from around 1.6 g/kg daily protein, while vegans may need more to support muscle size and strength (read the analysis here).

🏋️ The Need for Carbs Pre-Workout Is a Myth? Turns out that it’s probably not essential to consume carbs before strength training sessions. The latest research suggests you can skip the pre-workout carbs without compromising performance (read more here).

📌 Key Takeaway: Stay ahead of the curve with insights on optimal protein sources, glucose monitoring, and smarter oral health practices.

Product Of The Week

::: Boost Protein & Nutrient Absorption With 10% Off MassZymes 💪::

You’ve probably heard the old-school myth that more protein automatically means more muscle growth. It’s a lie. massenzymes wkru

Just because you’re downing 40 grams of protein from an 8-ounce chicken breast doesn’t mean your body is actually absorbing it. The truth? Your small intestine can only absorb protein that’s broken down into amino acids—and without the right enzymes, most of that protein just ends up in the toilet.

Enzymes are crucial for protein and nutrient absorption, but here’s the problem: Most enzyme supplements on the market don’t cut it. They either lack the right kind of proteolytic enzymes or simply don’t have enough to make a difference. 

The enzyme formula I trust and personally use is MassZymes by BIOptimizers. It’s packed with five different types of protease and other key enzymes to optimize digestion and ensure your muscles actually get the building blocks they need.

If you’re serious about muscle growth, MassZymes is the real deal. Plus, they back it up with a 365-day money-back guarantee, so you’ve got nothing to lose.

Head over to BIOptimizers and use code BEN10 for 10% off your order.
