What is protein powder?
Protein powder is a dietary supplement designed to provide a concentrated source of protein, essential for muscle repair, growth and overall health. It’s derived from various sources, including whey, soy, rice and pea, making it suitable for diverse dietary preferences.
What does protein powder do?
Studies show dietary supplementation with protein powder may support lean muscle growth and assist athletic performance when combined with resistance training. It may also help improve body composition and exercise recovery.
However, it’s not just athletes who may benefit. People with a sedentary lifestyle can also take protein powder to help with maintaining muscle mass, recovery from exercise and weight management.
What are the different types of protein powder?
Here at Healthylife, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to finding a protein powder that tastes great and meets your nutritional requirements. One of the most popular is whey protein powder, which is derived from cow’s milk. The body quickly absorbs whey protein, and it comes in concentrate, isolate and hydrolysate forms. Casein, also from milk, releases amino acids (the building blocks of protein) slowly, keeping you fuller for longer. Collagen protein, which supports skin and joint health, is extracted from animal tissues.
Plant-based options include soy, pea and hemp proteins and offer alternatives for vegetarians and those with lactose intolerance. Rice protein is hypoallergenic and is often mixed with other plant proteins to complete its amino profile.
How much protein powder should I take?
The best way to get the protein you need is to eat a variety of protein-rich foods as outlined in the Australian Dietary Guidelines. However, protein needs change throughout our lives, and the amount of exercise we do also affects our protein requirements. Your healthcare professional can advise you on the optimum protein intake for your age and activity levels and guide you on protein powder dosages.
From whey protein in delicious flavours like chocolate milkshake, banana and vanilla to vegan and collagen protein powder, Healthylife is your one-stop protein powder shop. Check out our fantastic range today.
