Protein is typically in the middle, and this intermediate
position of protein digestion tends to help stabilize food digestion and blood sugar balance.
When amino acids (breakdown
products of protein digestion) are absorbed into the blood, they enter liver, muscle and other body cells, where they can be converted to muscle and other body proteins, glucose or further to glycogen (a storage form of glucose in the liver and muscles), fatty acids or further to ketones (a source of energy for the brain during low - carb diet) or body fat stores, or can be converted to energy (physical, chemical and thermal)[78].
«It is clear from the studies that consuming green kiwi fruit as part of a protein - rich meal increases the
extent of protein digestion, particularly in the stomach.»
Betaine hydrochloride (HCL) promotes optimal gastric acidity for
support of protein digestion and absorption of minerals and other nutrients such as vitamin B12.
He also had extremely high levels of creatinine (a by - product of the breakdown of phosphocreatine, an energy - storage molecule in muscle) normally eliminated by the kidneys and extremely elevated levels of BUN (blood urea nitrogen), which measures the amount of the waste product urea (a by -
product of protein digestion).
This is crucial for animals that have impaired kidney function as well because by - products
of protein digestion are the main toxins that need to be excreted by the kidneys.
The toxic wastes that build up in your pet's blood are primarily the by - products
of protein digestion and muscle metabolism.
These toxins are mainly the by - products
of protein digestion and high levels of these toxins will cause your pet to feel bad, lose their appetite and develop gastrointestinal signs such as vomiting and diarrhea.
