Everyone knows someone who worries about the amount of protein they eat, or, if they're vegetarian, they've heard the typical comment, "But so what about the protein?". It's true that protein is a very important macronutrient for our bodies, but it doesn't necessarily have to be of animal origin.
Some of the functions of protein:
- To build muscles, tissues, and cartilage.
In fact, the body needs 20 amino acids to assimilate protein – 11 of which are produced by the human body and 9 of which must be obtained through food. And all of them can be found in plants!
What happens with animal protein is that it already contains all these amino acids, while certain plant-based proteins require us to combine them. But there are also bioavailable plant-based protein sources, such as the Protein Blends I formulated for the store.
All of them are of biological origin, because protein quality is very important. Remember that when we eat animal protein, for example, we also ingest all the antibiotics or foods (often genetically modified corn and soy) that the animal may have eaten…
Plant-based proteins also provide a good dose of micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, and fiber. Nutrients like zinc, selenium, and B vitamins, which we find in pumpkin or sesame seeds, for example, are crucial for stimulating good nutrient absorption and strengthening digestive tissues. To strengthen bones, teeth, and skin, we need vitamin K and calcium, which are abundant in mushrooms and pea protein.
It was with this combination of factors in mind that I created the store's proteins. To each one, I added medicinal plants and adaptogens chosen to support the body in different ways.
