Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 4

Amino acid and protein supplementation has scientific support for aiding in convalescence, particularly in cases involving recovery from illness, surgery, or trauma. During convalescence, the body's metabolic demands increase, and muscle protein breakdown often exceeds synthesis, leading to muscle wasting and delayed functional recovery. Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated that providing additional protein and essential amino acids can support muscle protein synthesis, preserve lean body mass, and improve outcomes in recovering patients. For example, systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have shown that oral or enteral protein supplementation can enhance wound healing, immune function, and physical rehabilitation, especially in malnourished or elderly individuals. Protein and amino acid supplementation are widely recommended in clinical nutrition guidelines for patients recovering from critical illness or surgery. The exact blend and dosage may vary, and proprietary blends may not always disclose individual amino acid content, making it difficult to compare products or assess precise benefits. However, the rationale for use is scientifically sound, provided the blend delivers adequate essential amino acids. Overall, the evidence base is robust for the use of protein and amino acid supplementation to support convalescence, though efficacy depends on patient-specific factors and the composition of the supplement.
