Welcome to this on-air with Ella Minisode, a little bite-sized boost to your day.

Always quick, always thought-provoking, and always under 10 minutes.

Let's go.

If you are not eating a meat-centric diet, you probably should be looking into amino acid supplementation.

So just so I don't come off overly pushy for like supplements, I think you can do it,

but you need to pay without supplementation potentially, but you need to pay a lot of attention

to what you're eating.

You need to be really looking at like any additional fats you don't really need because

you're trying to eat a lot of grains and legumes and these things that have proteins in

of non-protein-rich calories. Otherwise, it's going to be, it's not going to work for you.

To stay healthy, right, to maintain lean mass, but also not get like overweight or not feel really

sluggish because you're eating so much. You have to work a lot harder. If you choose a plant-based diet, I do think you have to work harder to think about what

you're eating.

I think supplementation makes more sense for the plant-based eater.

And the reason for that is because this is outside of age.

When we get into age, it gets even more compelling.

So one scoop of, say, essential amino acids, like what's in Keon Aminos, is many times more powerful

gram for gram than just one gram of protein. There's studies, and this is a slightly older

populations, where three grams of essential amino acids is equal to 20 grams of a protein powder.

Say that again. Yeah, so three grams of amino acids, essential amino acids, is equal to 20 grams of a protein powder. Say that again. Yeah, so three grams of amino acids,

essential amino acids, is equal to 20 grams of a weight protein. So over six times the impact
