Fitness protein powder-whether imported or not-belongs to ordinary food, and its function cannot be declared. Nutrilite protein powder is a health care product, which can declare its function.
2. Product composition
Generally speaking, whey and casein are the main components of fitness protein powder. Due to the large daily intake and more attention to the taste, some thickeners, sweeteners and non-dairy creamers may be added to improve the taste. The amount of protein powder used in general health care products is very small. In order to highlight its "health care" characteristics, the taste is generally not considered, and the ingredients are relatively "pure".
Extended data:
For the special population in need, apart from supplementing essential amino acids through food, protein powder can be appropriately selected as the supplement of protein, but we must pay attention to the dosage of protein powder. After protein is digested and absorbed by gastrointestinal tract, it needs to be processed by liver and converted into human substances for human use.
At the same time, ammonia, urea, creatinine and other nitrogen-containing substances metabolized by protein in the body need to be excreted through the kidneys. If a person ingests too much protein, it will increase the burden of liver and kidney and have a negative impact on the human body. Therefore, protein is by no means the more the better. The highest intake of protein in the Dietary Guidelines for China Residents is 0.92g per kg of body weight, and if it exceeds this amount, it may be harmful to human health.
