What The Organic Protein Powder Means To Your Health

By Janine Hughes


Today, the major supplement stores are all dominated by protein products. Be it from meat, vegetable, or fruits, this now ranks top as one of the most demanded supplements. Most nutritionists concur that the pricier blends of the organic protein powder digests faster and delivers more nutrients to the muscles, and are thus better alternatives. However, before taking this advice on, the issues like the dietary needs, personal goals, and financial capability must be factored in.

An organically grown food is a food product that is grown from a natural condition. Normally, this should mean the absence of the following inorganic substances; pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, ionizing radiation, genetically modified organisms (GMO), sewage sludge, antibiotics, and any growth hormones. Today, it is difficult to buy anything from the stores that is not produced from one or more of these unnatural and sometimes harmful substances as they cut own cost and time of production.

Generally, there are three labels you should look for in food products and drinks. The first is 100% organic. This simply indicates that the product is 100% natural. It contains no element of inorganic compounds like pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones, ionizing radiations, and is not grown through the genetically modified organisms (GMO).

However, if it is just labeled organic, then it is at least 95% natural. The products that are 70% to 95% natural are labeled, "made with organic ingredients". However, this should be accompanied with the USDA Organic label as the evidence of the same.

In order to compensate for their expensive cost of production, these products are normally more expensive. However, this is a cost that most people will be willing to pay. Clearly, the moment you consider to use any of the supplements, and then it should be the healthiest option available. The non-natural protein products ordinarily cost less, but for those who know what is good for them, they are always willing to pay a little more.

Even with this, these products are said to taste better than the conventional options that sometimes taste bitter due to the excessive amount of fake sugar content. The conventional products also have a chalky taste. The natural varieties do not sacrifice quality as they are rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino-acids.

Pea products are common and are good for muscle building and general physiques. For vegetarians, soybeans are a good source of all essential amino acids. Other than for muscle building, soy contains compounds that reduce the risk of cancer and a number of cardiovascular diseases.

The other common varieties are those that are hemp based, brown rice based, vegan (peas, rice, hemp, quinoa and more varieties), and several others. All those are either plant or animal products. As such, it pays to carefully read and select those that are natural as they have more health benefits. The good variety of powder also taste better and are easier to ingest.
