protein - only for athletes?

protein matters for everyone.

Do you mainly associate proteins with (intensive) sports? You’re not alone. For years, proteins were almost exclusively linked to sport and muscle growth. That’s only part of the story, though. Proteins are indeed important for athletes, as they support muscle growth and maintenance. But their role goes much further.

Proteins are the building blocks of your cells. And your body is essentially a collection of cells. You’ll find proteins in almost every part of your body: your hair, nails and bones, but also in all your organs — your skin, heart, kidneys… If you want a healthy body and firm skin, it’s essential to consume enough protein every day. The guideline for an average adult is to eat at least 0.8 g of protein per kg of body weight per day. For endurance athletes, that can rise to about 1.2 g per kg of body weight daily.

Although awareness about the importance of proteins is growing — think of all the supermarket products with added protein — we’ve believed in it from day one. That’s why protein shakes have been part of the RainPharma inside-out range since the very beginning. And here too, we choose the very best, pure formulas as a high-quality addition to a healthy diet.
