When most people think of protein supplements they think of bodybuilders in the gym. Did you know that protein supplements can have benefits for maintaining muscle mass and strength in the general population?

Protein is a key nutrient for maintaining your body tissues. Your body’s muscles and their strength are also maintained by the protein you eat. Protein supplements can ensure that you are eating enough high-quality protein to keep your muscles healthy and strong. Consider adding a protein supplement to your daily routine. It is an easy way to add high quality protein for your diet.

Protein supplements are a convenient way to meet your protein requirements

Protein supplements are a convenient way to meet your protein needs. Most protein supplements come in a powder that can be mixed easily into liquids or other foods. This means protein supplements can be added to all your favourite foods.  Most food sources of high-quality protein require special storage or preparation. Instead, protein supplements can be taken on the go, so that you can get the protein you need, when you need it. 

Protein supplements contain high-quality protein

Not all protein sources are created equal. Many foods have protein in them but some food sources may not have all the amino acids (protein building blocks) that your body needs to effectively and efficiently build muscle. Most protein supplements have a variety of all the amino acids that your muscles need. This means you can get more out of the protein you eat. ISOlution® is a good protein supplement option. In every 10g serving there is 10g of high quality whey protein.

Protein supplements may be for you if you have:

A small appetite

For those with a small appetite, it can be hard to meet your daily protein requirements. This can lead to losing muscle mass and function, especially if you are also not eating a lot of calories. Protein supplements are a great way to add protein to your diet without having to eat more food. 

Have high protein needs

For those who have high protein requirements, it can be hard to get all the protein you need. People with high protein requirements include people who do a lot of exercise, older adults and people recovering from surgery and illness. Eating enough protein, for high protein requirements can mean eating too many calories. Protein supplements are concentrated sources of protein. A protein supplement can add protein to your diet without adding as many calories as you would with food sources of protein.

ISOlution® is a high-quality whey protein isolate powder that can help you meet your protein needs. ISOlution® easily dissolves into your favourite recipes, beverages and soft foods without changing the taste and texture.
