When we talk about protein, typically we talk about one thing, but it's 20 different amino acids, nine of which are essential. We actually eat for those nine essentials. There is a lot of nuance around protein in general and uh what it does. Each of those amino acids do something different. For example, leucine, which is I know our favorite amino acid is critical for muscle for muscle protein synthesis. But something like thrienine is important for mucin production in the gut.
