Protein for strength
PROTEIN is built from building blocks called amino acids. Good protein contains all 20 amino acids, including the nine essential amino acids that our body cannot produce and must obtain from dietary sources.
High consumption of animal protein could result in many adverse health effects such as osteoporosis and long-term risk of developing diabetes.
According to a study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2006, poultry, fish and shellfish as the main sources of dietary protein led to an increased risk of gout, while plant-based proteins reduced the risk.
Animal protein contains a higher amount of acid-based amino acids that can cause greater loss of calcium through urine and a bone-weakening effect.
Plant proteins such as soy and peas, on the other hand, can provide all the essential amino acids packaged with plenty of fibre and other phytonutrients when consumed in the right combination.
A consistent supply of plant protein along with sufficient calcium and vitamin D in one’s diet is important for the maintenance of bone and muscle mass.
Studies have shown that people who meet their daily protein requirements maintained their bone health compared to those who eat less than the recommended levels, as it is proven that the body absorbs more calcium when the diet includes adequate protein.
Biogrow HPF-5 is a blend of plant protein and digestive fibre, enhanced with nutrients for bone health such as calcium, magnesium and vitamin D3. It is suitable for all ages.
Replacing one or two servings of meat protein with plant protein can make a big health difference.
Unlike dairy products, the high protein-fibre powder contains no lactose and cholesterol, is low in saturated fats, and has lower risk of being contaminated with antibiotics and growth hormones.
Take one scoop of Biogrow HPF-5 daily to obtain a high amount of plant protein, calcium, magnesium and vitamin D3 for the development of strong muscles, bones and teeth.
