Do you have to ingest protien for it to build muscle?
Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009hiancan asked:
In order for protien to build muscle, does it have to be ingested & absorbed internally? Can it be absorbed by the skin and have the same results? In other words, can a high protien infusion, pack or poultice be put on your skin and have the same effect on your muscles as a high protien meal, drink or supplement. Does it have to be absorbed from the INSIDE OUT or can it go from the OUTSIDE IN? I’m very anxious to learn the answer to this. My aunt has post-polio and I’m trying to figure out how we can maintain the muscle she has left & maybe even build more.
