Protein Powders

 

Our protein powders are an easy and convenient source of complete, high-quality protein. There are many reasons why people might want supplemental protein in their diet:

  • Young athletes who are still growing. A teenager needs more protein to fuel their workouts as the body is still growing and using more protein in general.
  • Starting an exercise program. If working out is new to you and you’re trying to build muscle, you’ll require more protein than you normally would.
  • Amping up your workouts. If you normally work out for half an hour a few times a week, but now you’ve decided to increase resistance training or train for a half-marathon, your body will need more protein.
  • Recovering from an injury.  Injuries cause the body to require more protein to help with the healing process.
  • Vegetarian or vegan lifestyle. People who choose to follow a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle eliminate a number of common protein sources from their diet, including meat and sometimes fish, dairy, and eggs as well.
  • Weight management. Research shows that increasing protein calories helps to retain muscle mass, supporting weight management programs.

Collagen Peptides Pasture Raised (Item #480)

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. Found in the bones, muscles, skin, and tendons, it is the substance that holds the body together and forms a scaffold to provide strength and structure. Collagen occurs throughout the body, but especially in the skin, bones, and connective tissues. Some types of collagen fibrils, gram-for-gram, are stronger than steel. Collagen production declines with age and with exposure to factors such as smoking and UV light. There are at least 16 different types of collagen, but 80 to 90 percent of them belong to types I, II, and III. These different types have different structures and functions. The collagens in the human body are strong...Full Details

Grass Fed Whey Protein-Chocolate (Item #969)

Grass fed whey protein powder is an excellent source of protein, even surpassing whole egg, soy, beef, casein, or milk in its biological activity in the body and its ability to deposit nitrogen into the muscles. Whey is also a naturally rich source of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), which make up 1/3 of the amino acids in muscle protein. The BCCA L-leucine is especially important for building muscle as it supports protein synthesis. Building lean muscle promotes a healthy metabolism and improves the body's ability to burn more calories. Many use whey to support their weight management program and support overall health. Whey contains immunoglobulins, which are essential in maintaining...Full Details

Organic Balanced Plant Protein Blend (Chocolate) (Item #943)

Protein is one of the most important nutrients for maintaining good health; it’s a part of every cell in the human body and helps to build and maintain connective tissues, bones, blood cells, skin, muscles, organs, and DNA. However, it is not so easy for many of us to obtain proper amounts from our diets. Athletes, pregnant woman, the elderly, young children, and those who eat poorly planned vegan diets are at increased risk low protein intake that does not meet daily needs. Research also shows that in the general population diets higher in healthy lean protein help with satiety and weight management. In decades past, supplementing a diet with extra protein was left to the bodybuilders...Full Details
