Everyone knows someone who worries about the amount of protein they eat or, if they are vegetarian, they have heard the typical “but what about protein?” It is true that protein is a very important macronutrient for our body, but it is not at all mandatory that it be of animal origin.
Some of the protein's functions:
- Build muscle, tissue and cartilage
In fact, what the body needs to assimilate protein is 20 amino acids - 11 of them are produced by the human body and 9 of them have to be obtained through food. And they can all be found in plants!
The thing about animal protein is that it already has all of these amino acids, while certain plant proteins require us to combine them. But there are also bioavailable sources of vegetable protein, such as the Protein Mixes that I formulated for the store.
All of biological origin, because the quality of the protein is very important. Remember that when we eat animal protein, for example, we also ingest all the antibiotics or feed (often genetically modified corn and soy) that the animal may have eaten…
Vegetable proteins can also provide us with a good dose of micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, and fiber. Nutrients such as zinc, selenium and B vitamins, which we find in pumpkin seeds or sesame, for example, are extremely important for stimulating good nutrient absorption and strengthening digestive tissues. To strengthen bones, teeth and skin, we need Vitamin K and calcium, which are very present in mushrooms and pea protein.
It was with this combination of factors in mind that I created the store's proteins. To each of them, I added medicinal plants and adaptogens chosen to support the body in different ways.
