Is There an Upper Limit to How Much Protein You Can Absorb?

There’s a new protein study that seemingly blows the top off what researchers have known regarding how much dietary protein we can absorb and utilize after a weight lifting session. Although researchers have known the original myth hasn’t held true for a few years, the new upper limit is a much higher value than previously realized.

A snapshot of the current study. Prior and updated understandings (Trommelen et al., 2023).

However, what I’ve noticed on social media is an incomplete interpretation of this paper—especially how it translates into what you as the consumer would actually do.

So, in this post, I’m going to review the following:

• How dietary protein moves from mouth to circulation.

• The origins of the initial upper limit of protein absorption.

• A review of what the new paper outlines.

• What the paper missed.

• The reality of applying the results into your daily life.
