So like with any other food and or supplement, we don't absorb a hundred percent of it. Um, what I do know is that whe protein is absorbed faster than other proteins that each of our bodies has, has only a maximum amount of protein it can absorb. Um, and then it just stops absorbing it. You do absorb the protein from protein powders. Um, yes, they are expensive. Um, do you need them? That's an individual choice. I know. So for instance, my college age child comes home, he's super starving. He's already had three meals and a bunch of snacks, so he'll throw together a protein drink and then he is fine for the night. So I don't say go to that first, second or third, but if it's something that allows you to get the protein in that you need and you're not thinking you need a ton of protein, um, because you really don't, um, and you're getting enough usually from your diet, then yes, protein powders.
