on the one hand we've just established that mtor is the most important sensor we have not just for nutrients but perhaps more importantly the most critical nutrients of them all which are amino acids we also understand that sarcopenia is an enormous risk to both lifespan and healthspan sarcopenia meaning low muscle mass so we understand the relationship between amino acids and muscle mass we understand anabolic resistance in an aging population so all of these things say amino acids are good mtor activation I.E anabolic activation is good
