What Does Organic Protein Powder Mean To You

By Janine Hughes


For athletes and people involved in intensive workout programs, protein is a very important supplement. It provides the fasted way to repair muscles and build new muscles. However, these are not their only use; they also provide several other benefits, including the provision of vitamins and minerals. However, there is a lot when it comes to selecting the right product for you. Choosing the organic protein powder from the non-natural ones should the first task for anyone who wants to use these products.

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.

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.

The other favorite options are the raw protein powders that are plant based. They are gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free and vegan. They are very easy to ingest. They are largely not processed, and do not go through a heating, hence more nutrients are preserved. Normally, manufacturers usually sweeten them with a natural sweetener and stevia. They also contain no an artificial flavors and are hence raw and natural.

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.
