The science
Why do we need protein in our diet?
As we age, maintaining muscle mass and strength becomes increasingly important for overall health and mobility. One key factor in achieving this is ensuring adequate protein intake.
Research shows that after the age of 50, our bodies become less efficient at utilizing protein, making it essential to consume more of it to support muscle synthesis and repair. Adequate protein can help prevent age-related muscle loss, known as sarcopenia, which can lead to weakness, falls, and decreased independence.
Incorporating high-quality protein sources—such as lean meats, dairy, legumes, and nuts—into each meal can enhance not only muscle health but also metabolic function and bone density. Additionally, protein plays a vital role in supporting the immune system and overall recovery.
By prioritizing protein in our diets, we can promote a healthier, more active lifestyle as we age, ensuring we remain strong and resilient.
With our extensive research, we found that consumers were introducing more plant based products into their diet especially in the vitamin and supplement market as they make a conscious choice to lead a healthier lifestyle. We carefully considered this research, amongst many research papers, when we prudently crafted our Vital Blend Protein Plus 50 , which is plant based.
Why use
Vital-u
Recent research suggests that we need up to 2gms protein per kg body weight, so if you weigh 70kgs, then you need to eat around 140gms protein in your diet every day. This for many people is very difficult to do. One egg is the equivalent to 7gms protein, so that would be a lot of eggs!
