Proteins

What do proteins do in your body?

Proteins are, in addition to carbohydrates and fatty acids, an important part of a balanced diet. They provide amino acids, the building blocks for body proteins. Proteins are part of various structures and processes in the body, including those of muscles and tissues.

How do I get enough protein?

Proteins are found in both animal and plant foods. Animal sources include meat, fish, eggs and dairy. Plant proteins can be found in legumes, nuts and grains. The general recommendation is around 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. Depending on your lifestyle or diet, a higher intake may be desirable.

Protein supplements

For those who want to add extra protein to their diet, there are several options available, such as protein powders or protein-rich broth products. There are varieties based on beef, chicken, fish or plant sources. Other popular forms are collagen hydrolysate, gelatin and elastin powders.

Whey protein after exercise

Whey protein is a widely used form of protein supplementation, with a complete amino acid profile and high biological value. It is rapidly absorbed and suitable for use around physical activity. Many people choose to supplement with a protein supplement after exercise as part of their recovery routine.

Grass-fed whey proteins

There are different forms of whey protein available, such as concentrate, isolate or hydrolysate. The origin of the milk and the way it is processed can affect the quality. Whey from grass-fed animals and produced with careful processing often contains fewer additives and is minimally processed.
