Protein powder is generally protein-rich powder made of purified proteins such as soybean protein, casein, whey protein (lacking isoleucine) and pea protein, or the composite processing of the above proteins. Its purpose is to supplement protein for people who lack protein, and it can also be used as a functional additive in food industry.
Extended data:
Children in growth and development need a lot of protein to meet the needs of physical development, while pregnant women need a lot of protein to make red blood cells and fetal development. However, the traditional tonic method of big fish and big meat often makes many women still unable to lose weight after giving birth, because they make up a lot of fat while making up protein. Patients after operation and those who have recovered from a serious illness also need a lot of protein to promote recovery and improve immunity.
Because high-intensity exercise damages muscle cells to varying degrees, causing the decomposition of muscle protein, timely supplementation of protein can reduce the destruction of muscle tissue, promote the synthesis of protein, and even recover excessively, thus increasing muscle and improving strength. The traditional way of supplementing protein by eating meat often consumes too much fat, which leads to the increase of body fat.
