If aminos make the protein, I could eliminate the digestive problems with protein but she would still get plenty of "protein" through supplementing the aminos which her body would use in the place of complete proteins! Correct? Now if correct, how would be a decent way to gauge how much amino acids to supplement to get enough protein? Damn I'm overthinking and I'm sorry but she's kind of my wife so I hope you guys understand
