How to personalise your protein intake?
Episode 18
Friday, 2 January, 2026
We Indians have got obsessed with protein based on a confusing but dubious marketing narrative- “India is a protein deficient nation”. This has led to launch of numerous startups launching protein supplement- Whey protein, plant based protein, protein bars, protein wafers & moreWe have seen a number of influencers promoting high consumption of protein but if protein deficiency is a reality, is high consumption the solution? How about how each of amino acid is metabolised right now .Let us decode this mystery todayWhat are symptoms of protein deficiency?- Fatigue, skin issues, low muscle mass & more. Are low or marginal income individuals who do not have financial liberty to purchase protein supplements, have protein deficiency? The fact is protein is an essential macromolecule & is required for vital cellular & metabolic processes but marketing as an alternative for every single chronic health condition is a blatant lie.Over the last few years, we have been focussed on personalising our food choices to regulate our blood sugar response but we have not bothered to ask this simple question- Why do not we personalise our amino acids? There are 9 essential amino acids that confer different host benefits or trigger production of signalling molecules & metabolites that could either lead to cellular resilience or cellular inflammation.Just a blanket recommendation of consuming some X gram/KG/day does not translate into biochemical interactions that deliver metabolic health & protein synthesis benefits. Most of the recommendations are based on population studies considering every individual as average healthy while our biology is unique & is neither average nor healthy.Therefore protein deficiency is not a standard deficiency & is a function of your unique biology & how your microbiome interacts with each amino acids.When you fall for these marketing narratives & consume protein in excess, without understanding how each of amino acid interacts with your biology or you lack stomach acid to break protein into constituent amino acids, your microbiome may ferment these amino acids into harmful metabolites that could trigger systemic inflammation. For instance, Imdizole propionate, a microbial byproduct of amino acid histamine leads to glucose intolerance, type 2 diabetes & even an early risk factor independent of cholesterol changes.If you have protein deficiency it is not a function of consumption but how each amino acid interacts with your biology including your microbiome. Personalising amino acids based on your cellular biochemistry is key to better protein synthesis, neurotransmitter production, skin health, metabolic health.Our data shows that 69% of our customers have protein fermentation levels as average with 87% found eggs in minimise list. We at Genefitletics measures your cellular biochemistry to determine how each of amino acid is metabolized & deliver personalised biotherapeutics interventions that promote benefits from amino acid metabolism.Know more here: www.genefitletics.com/orahyg#protein #proteinpowder #proteinshake #proteinsnack #protein #proteinpowder #proteinsnack #proteinshake #supplements #supplementfacts #supplementreview #supplement #wheyprotein #wheyisolate #whey #wheyproteinpowder #wheyconcentrate #arginine #bloating #constipation #constipationawareness #larginine #citrulline
