Protein is a macronutrient that makes up approximately 20% of our body
weight. The basic building blocks of protein are amino acids. The human
body needs about 22 types of amino acids, out of these 13 can be
manufactured by the body. These are known as ‘non-essential’ amino
acids because it is not necessary for us to obtain them from our food.
The other 9 amino acids are called “essential amino acids” and can only
be obtained from what we eat as our body cannot make them.
The quality and quantity of amino acids we obtain from protein-rich
foods will vary. Preferred protein sources include fish, seafood, poultry,
lean meat, egg white, skim milk, legumes, whole grains and other soy
products. Liver, whole eggs, whole milk, nuts and most cheeses are also
rich in protein, but we should not eat too much of these.
Benchmarking Information
The World Health Organization (WHO) has established a new method of
evaluating protein quality which helps clarify the real value of soy
proteins. The new evaluation method is called the Protein Digestibility
Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS). It takes into account the amino
acid of the protein, plus a rating of its digestibility by humans. Using this
method, NUTRILITE Protein scores 1.00 (the highest possible PDCAAS
scores).
Q&A
Why doesn’t NUTRILITE Protein dissolve completely even after
stirring rapidly?
NUTRILITE Protein has been tested against many competitive protein
powders. In every case NUTRILITE Protein went into solution faster than
any of them and remains in the solution better. Still, there will be some
suspended particles that don’t dissolve. It’s just the nature of the
material. It’s like the pulp in orange juice.
How old must a baby be before it can take NUTRILITE Protein?
A baby should be at least one year old before consuming NUTRILITE
Protein. In very young children, it is best to limit NUTRILITE Protein to one
serving per day. A baby doesn’t need additional protein while breast
feeding because it gets plenty of protein from mother’s milk. If a child
gets too much protein at a very early age, there’s a possibility of
overloading the kidneys and causing dehydration. Toddlers who have
weaned themselves off milk or are fussy eaters can benefit from
supplementing their diet with NUTRILITE Protein by mixing it in their food
such as cereals, food drinks, soups or stews.
Can NUTRILITE Protein be taken daily even if we take plenty of meat
and eggs daily?
Yes. It all depends on how much protein you want in your diet.
However, health authorities strongly recommend cutting back on foods
high in saturated fats, e.g. red meat, eggs or dairy products. NUTRILITE
Protein is one way of getting the benefit of high-quality proteins low in
cholesterol, fats and calories. In other words, substitute NUTRILITE
Protein for meat and eggs in your diet.
