Bodybuilding Protein Supplements
Frequently Asked QuestionsQ: How much protein does a person need each day?
A: Protein needs vary by person depending upon age, weight, sex, activity level and overall health. Athletes and individuals with special medical needs often need more protein than the recommended dietary allowance, or RDA. The general concensus is for non-active people to consume .8g/lb of bodyweight, and for very active people they should consume 1.5g/lb!Q: I eat a lot of fish, chicken, eggs, soy and beef. Why do I still need protein powder?
A: Healthy diets should regularly include high quality, low fat sources of protein, like our Complete Protein Powder. Calories do count and you want to make sure that you are getting the most benefit from the calories you consume. Compared to other proteins, on a gram-to-gram basis our protein delivers more essential amino acids to the body but without the fat or cholesterol. Nutrition experts recommend a diet with a variety of protein foods but for optimal results make sure that one of them is whey protein.Q: If I'm lactose intolerant should I avoid whey protein?
A: Individuals with lactose intolerance should give this product a try as it has less than 0.1 gram of lactose per tablespoon (20 grams). This is less lactose than the amount found in a cup of yogurt and research has shown that most people with lactose intolerance have no trouble taking this very small amount of lactose. Individuals with lactose intolerance should avoid flavored protein concentrates as they usually contain lactose and the amount can vary greatly from product to product.Q: Does Protein Powder contain gluten or wheat protein?
A: Some protein bars and beverages contain gluten so always check the product ingredient label prior to purchase if it is not allowed in your diet.
