Plant proteins for muscle building
"Green" protein sources
Vegetable protein refers to all proteins contained in plants and plant-based products. Nuts, pulses and seeds, for example, are very rich in vegetable protein.
Protein is essential for people who want to build muscle mass or gain body weight in general. However, not every source of protein is equally suitable for these purposes. When choosing the right source of protein, it depends on the number of amino acids it contains and their "biological value". This describes the extent to which dietary proteins can be converted into the body's own proteins
Vegetarians and vegans who do not eat animal products will find plant-based proteins to be good alternatives to protein from meat or dairy products. As a private label manufacturer of protein powder and other dietary and sports nutrition products, Biohealth is prepared to meet all the requirements of private label product development.
Animal or vegetable proteins
to build muscle?
As a rule, animal protein contains all the important essential amino acids. Vegans and vegetarians should take a closer look: There are only a few plants that also contain all eight essential amino acids. These include
- Soy
- chia
- quinoa
- spirulina
The biological value of these "green" protein sources differs fundamentally from one another and is also influenced by the type of preparation or processing. A mixture of vegetable proteins, e.g. with soy, rice or peas, is therefore recommended.
Of particular interest to athletes is the question of the advantages and disadvantages of choosing plant-based proteins. The answer in a nutshell: Researchers have not yet been able to find any major differences in the results.
As plant-based protein powders contain many other vital nutrients and vital substances in addition to proteins, they are not only protein powders, but also extremely compact, healthy food supplements. In this way, plant proteins support muscle building and also a vital lifestyle!
