PROTEINS FUNCTIONS

What functions do proteins have in the human body?

Building muscle as an advertised function of proteins

As already mentioned, exist Proteins (= Egg whites) from numerous amino acidsthat are linked to one another to form a long chain according to the peptide principle. You will be about the nutrition recorded and in stomach - Intestinal tract broken down into smaller chains, so-called amino acids - two or three amino acids - chains. These smaller amino acid chains get into the blood via special transport systems and ultimately into different tissue forms in which they finally develop their effectiveness.

Are in sports Proteins of great importance due to their assigned mode of action: an increased level of amino acids in the blood are supposed to cause the build-up of proteins in the muscle cells, thereby giving them a anabolic effect (muscle building) is said. In addition to the build-up of muscle cell proteins, i.e. the anabolic effect, it is also assumed that the protein in the cells is reduced at the same time (catabolic effect). This catabolic effect is important in the context of building muscle mass.

According to the current state of knowledge, a targeted protein intake is not considered to be faster Musculature regenerating. An increased increase in muscle mass cannot be attributed to it either.

Since proteins are not yet considered to have an indirect positive effect on performance, they are classified as C - Supplements designated.
