Choosing quality EAA products

Protein is everywhere. But the part of protein that actually does the work for muscle, recovery, metabolism, and staying lean is something most people rarely talk about: essential amino acids.

We dive deeper into this in the Habits & Hustle podcast with Angelo Keely. We also chat about why amino acids outperform protein powder for muscle synthesis, why muscle loss quietly begins after 30, and how essential amino acids help preserve muscle during fat loss, fasting, and intense training.

Angelo Keely is the co-founder and CEO of Kion, an active lifestyle supplement and functional food company. He has spent more than 20 years involved in nutrition, functional fitness, yoga, and meditation.
