When it comes to protein, not all amino acids are created equal—especially for women navigating midlife health changes. Among the nine essential amino acids, leucine stands out as the star player for stimulating muscle protein synthesis. In other words, it’s the one that actually tells your body to build, repair, and maintain lean muscle mass.
That’s why a new clinical study comparing regular whey isolate to a modified version (like what you’ll find in Genepro) is so exciting. The treated whey delivered significantly higher levels of leucine in the blood—up to 50% more compared to regular whey.
Why is leucine so important after 40?
As we age, our muscles become less responsive to protein. This is especially true during perimenopause and menopause, when hormonal shifts can lead to decreased muscle mass, slower metabolism, and unwanted weight gain. Getting enough leucine—and making sure it’s absorbed efficiently—can help:
- Preserve lean muscle mass (which supports metabolism and joint stability)
- Enhance recovery after workouts or physical activity
- Improve strength and stamina in day-to-day life
- Reduce age-related fatigue and muscle soreness
But again—it’s not just how much protein or leucine you eat. It’s how much your body can actually use.
What makes Genepro different?
Genepro uses a patented Ingredient Optimized® process that changes the surface of the protein, exposing hydrophobic pockets so your digestive enzymes can break it down faster and more effectively. In the study, this process resulted in elevated leucine levels up to 90 minutes after consumption, while standard whey dropped off much sooner.
Translation? Genepro helps keep your body in a “rebuild and repair” state longer—without adding extra calories, sugar, or volume.
Who should use Genepro?
Whether you’re weight training, walking, doing yoga, or simply looking to maintain strength and stay toned, Genepro offers a convenient, unflavored protein that disappears into your morning coffee or smoothie. It’s especially beneficial for women aged 35–55 who are seeing shifts in strength, energy, and metabolism.
