Hi,

Which one is better?

Once the P11 gets absolutely lost/drained, It can't be recovered.

Thanks!

OK. Well, I am still unaware of what the actual process might be, but I suspect that you need a word like dispersed/absorbed/diluted/converted...?

Once P11 (protein) gets lost/drained from our body, It can't be recovered anymore.

Your suggestion is much better sir MM.

But not the right words yet. Let's discuss this a bit more before my next class. Now, practically speaking, nothing that leaves our body is recoverable: we don't recycle urine, sweat, etc. So by 'recovered', do you mean 'replaced'? That is, the body cannot ingest or manufacture P11?

Once P11 (protein) is eliminated from our body, the body cannot replace it.
