Well, it's officially summertime. That means the sun is out longer, our kids are out of school,

we're typically staying awake a little bit later, which also means that we might be eating our

0:20.4

years, and she asked what my opinion

0:22.0

on that is. So I'm going to give you my very clear-cut opinion, and that is, it depends on your

1:26.1

for building muscle and having protein

1:29.0

synthesis and fueling that process because it gives you the amino acid you need to actually build

1:33.8

muscle. So it's a perfect supplement to add in, especially if you do not feel like your protein

1:39.9

intake is on par. And I know in the summertime we're go, go, go, and especially while we're
