Protein is essential for repair and growth of muscles. The nutrient also aids in weight loss. There are many different types of protein powders, including casein protein, soy protein and whey protein. Protein shakes and other sources of protein supplementation are excellent to provide more support to serious athletes and teens who are participating in competitive sports.
People who are out of shape and have just begun to work out may need the additional nutrition and energy boost provided by a good protein supplement. Those who have been working out for a while and wish to increase performance will also find the protein powders helpful. Additionally, people recovering from being injured can use the extra protein to promote healing. Protein shakes are also helpful for people who are switching from an omnivorous to a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle. No matter what your reason, choosing a high quality protein supplement is a great way to be sure of meeting all of your nutritional needs. Count on Vita Living to provide a wide variety of high quality protein shakes and protein supplements to suit your needs.
Health care professionals caution that no one should depend solely upon protein powder supplements for good nutrition. It is important for people of all ages and activity levels to strive to eat a well-balanced, nutritious, natural whole foods diet that is rich in high quality protein sources. Generally speaking, very serious athletes may need to go for more elaborate and complete protein supplements; however, if you simply wish to enhance your diet and your fitness, a less expensive choice is probably perfectly fine.
Whey protein is very popular because it is a milk protein that dissolves easily in water, so people seeking a boost in proteins and amino acids can easily add it to their daily diet. Whey protein is a complete protein and contains a complete array of the nine necessary amino acids. It is important to realize that whey is a dairy product and not a strictly vegan choice. For people who prefer a vegan diet, soy protein is a good option; however, some users say it does not taste as good as whey protein and is harder to dissolve in liquid.
