Veggie Protein – a rich source of vegetable proteins

Proteins are our body’s main building blocks. They fulfil countless different functions, such as muscle development, protection against infections and regeneration and renewal of all the body’s cells. That is why it is important to have sufficient proteins in our body, so that we can stay fit and healthy. Because we are not capable of producing all protein components (amino acids) ourselves, it is necessary to take in enough proteins through nutrition on a daily basis.

Proteins: a hot topic

Whether the topic is sport, losing weight or a vegetable or vegetarian diet, proteins are always involved somewhere. Sportsmen use them for muscle repair and build-up; weightwatchers use them to make sure their fat effectively burns; and vegans and vegetarians use them to avoid the risk of a protein deficiency when they do not eat balanced meals. Although proteins can be found in large quantities in animal foods, eating these foods is no longer evident for an increasing number of people. Fortunately, there are plenty of vegetable protein sources available; it is only a matter of picking the right one!

Animal or vegetable

Proteins consist of long chains of amino acids. There are no less than 20 different amino acids, of which eleven are produced by our body. The other nine amino acids that we cannot produce ourselves are called essential amino acids. These can only be taken in through nutrition. Since we are animals, proteins from animal foods (meat, fish, eggs, dairy products) offer us the best amino acid proportions and are more easily processed by our body. However, animal foods also contain saturated fatty acids, which are bad for the heart. Moreover, increasingly more people are turning away from animal foods on principle. The problem is that vegetable proteins contain amino acids in another and less beneficial proportion for our human needs. Fortunately, by cleverly combining your different sources of nourishment you can still arrive at the right levels. This is where Biotona Veggie Protein can help.

Veggies, vegans & proteins

Even though meat, fish and eggs are all protein-rich foods, it is the vegetable diet that is gaining in popularity. Many convinced animal lovers and friends of the environment are now removing animal products from their menu. However, this cannot be done without providing adequate alternative sources of protein. It is important to realise that less body protein can be built up from vegetable proteins in comparison with animal proteins. For this reason, vegans need proportionally more additional proteins. Cleverly combining nuts, legumes and grains – preferably at each meal – is an important way for vegans to stay fit and healthy. In this context, Biotona Veggie Protein is an ideal supplement to support a vegetable diet.

Proteins after sports

The phenomenon of using protein shakes after sports has been known for years in the sporting world. This is no longer only true for male athletes in strength sports. Fitgirl blogs also highlight the use of proteins in recipes and shakes. Protein helps the muscles to recover and enhances muscle regeneration immediately after sports: no unnecessary luxury when you are training hard to get that tight beach body! In addition, it is also important to take in another dose of proteins before going to bed. Otherwise your body will be ‘starved’ of protein for too long a period while you sleep, which is bad for recovery and muscle building. For this reason, proteins are also important from the moment when you get up, since by then your protein supply has already been depleted again. In these circumstances, it is no surprise that sportsmen regularly like to have a shake with a protein supplement. Until recently, animal whey was considered the key protein source for sportsmen. Now, Biotona offers vegetable substitutes that are at least as complete.
