Protein powder is a kind of nutritional complementary food for specific people. As an amino acid supplement food, it can provide essential nutrition for infants, the elderly, sports people, patients before and after operation and people who lose weight due to lack of protein.
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.
Precautions:
Don't eat protein powder on an empty stomach. Eating protein powder on an empty stomach will be consumed as a general "hot food", wasting valuable high-quality protein sources. So, eat some other foods before or at the same time as eating protein powder. Patients can only eat liquid, and can add protein powder to milk, soybean milk, cereal, malt extract and other foods to eat together.
Whey protein powder contains many active substances with special physiological functions. They are all afraid of heat, and once heated, they will lose their activity, thus greatly reducing their biological potency. Therefore, whey protein powder must not be cooked or burned, but can only be dissolved (mixed) in water, porridge, malt extract and other foods below 40℃, and can also be eaten as a cold drink.
