Gary Brecka doubles his Perfect Amino dose at 10,500 feet to handle altitude's demands. The supplement is 99% absorbable versus 30% for regular protein, delivers 29 grams of whey equivalent without breaking a fast, and helps women hit protein targets without blowing their macros.
So at 10,500 feet, I always double up on my Perfect Amino. I take it every morning, but I add, uh, 2 extra servings during the day. This is not 30% absorbable like most proteins. If you eat protein, you're getting about 30% of it in absorption. Perfect Amino is 99% absorbable. Remember, we build collagen, elastin, fibrin, we build natural killer cells, muscle. We built so many things out of amino acids. That we can actually go straight to the amino acids, get the equivalent of 29 grams of whey protein. This doesn't break a fast, so if you were fasting, you could also have this. For women, it's especially important to maintain your amino acid content because it's hard for women sometimes to reach their protein equivalent without going over their macros. But at 10,500 feet, it's a must-have.
