0:00.0	Let's talk about the best protein for recovery, not just from exercise but from stress, from
0:29.6	being sick. Now, you have two things. You have protein that is absorbed in the body, and then
0:36.0	you have protein that's actually used by the body. Two different things. Most of the protein is
0:42.5	absorbed, but only a small portion is actually utilized. When I talk about used, I'm talking about
0:49.7	in the repair action and also providing the raw material to build new proteins. Your body makes
0:57.0	about 50,000 proteins a day. What I'm talking about is proteins are different combinations of
1:04.3	amino acids, and you might be thinking protein only has muscle, but you have hair, you have nails,
1:12.4	you have tendons, ligaments, fascia, which is the outer covering or connective tissue around
1:18.4	different things. You have cartilage, you have your skin, DNA, RNA, all the cellular machines inside
1:25.7	the cell are made with proteins. Enzymes are made with proteins, both digestion and in chemical
1:34.8	pathways. Hormones are made from proteins. What about lipoproteins, like HDL or LDL? That's proteins.

1:53.3	A lot of your body is protein. When you consume dietary protein, only a portion of that protein
2:01.9	is utilized by the body for this and this. The rest is either wasted through the kidney or used
2:11.2	as fuel because it converts to glucose. The way they measure how much protein is being wasted or
2:17.8	used for fuel versus used is by the nitrogen in the urine. That way you can tell the utilization
2:25.4	percentage. At the top of this, we have breast milk. Of course, this is not available to most
2:31.3	people unless you are an infant, but that's 49.6%. We're going to go with the egg. Egg is number two,
2:40.1	but out of most proteins, this is pretty high. You get a 49% utilization. Eggs are
2:47.5	really good protein to use in recovery. But check this out. Let's say you're into body
2:55.9	building and you're taking all this way protein for recovery or you want to grow your muscles.
3:01.4	Look at this. It's only 17%. Compared to eggs, which is 49%. That means that you're only using
