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.

However, before answering this, it is important to state that protein powder is available in several flavors, with the vanilla, chocolate, peanut butter, and chocolate flavors as the most common. They also occur in three forms; the isolate, the concentrate, and the hydrolysate. While the concentrates have low fat content, they are higher in carbohydrate content. The isolates on the other hands are lowest in fat, and lactose, but highest in protein content. Lastly, hydrolysate why cost more since it is less allergic. It is processed in a way that it is easier to metabolize.

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).

The second label is "organic" which implies that the product is at least 95% natural. Lastly, if it is indicated as "made with organic ingredients", then this is an indication that the product is 75% to 95% natural. The product should also contain the USDA Organic label to certify that the product is what it claims to be.

Generally, a milk product sold under any of the three labels should mean that the cow from which the product was produced was fed on natural diets that are completely free of pesticides and are naturally processed. The cows are also traditionally treated and are usually from small family farms and drinks pure and healthy water. As such, the final product is usually gluten-free, sugar-free and is very low in carbohydrates.

The grass fed whey protein is usually labeled organic. Although the grains are natural in their production method, grains are not the natural food for cow. The result is an incomplete protein, which is more likely to disturb the cow's capacity to produce high quality amino-acids. Since the buyer simply ingesting what the cow ingested, it becomes a major issue of concern.

Other than milk based natural products, there are the raw protein powders that have nothing to do with the cow. The products are plant based and are thus free of dairy products, sugars, gluten, soy, and vegan. They are easier to ingest. They are not heat or processed thus preserves most of the protein. They can however be sweetened with stevia or other natural sweeteners, but not the artificial ones.

In order to compensate for their numerous benefits and high cost of production, this powder may cost higher. They are also widely available but with far much less flavor, the common ones being vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate. They are the best option for those who suffer from food related allergies. They are also the best option for those who want to maintain natural food products.
