The scientific fact: Hemp or chia seeds are considered an “excellent nutritional supplement, rich in healthy fats, fiber, and plant-based protein.” Consuming them supports overall health, reduces inflammation, and helps maintain tissues.
Medical limitations (why it doesn’t surpass eggs?): 1. Bioavailability and protein quality: Eggs are the gold standard
In terms of protein quality, ease of absorption, and its role in building muscle fibers, plant protein in seeds has a lower “absorption rate and bioavailability” compared to eggs and meat, requiring larger quantities for the body to achieve the same anabolic effect.
2. Resistance to Aging-Related Wasting (Anabolic Resistance): After the age of 70, the body becomes less efficient at using protein to build muscle (anabolic resistance), requiring concentrated and high-quality amounts of amino acids (such as leucine) found abundantly in eggs, meat, and poultry. Therefore, it is not possible
A plant seed can build muscle “faster” than an egg.
