No matter who you are – man, woman, child or old, working personal or student; protein is the most vital nutrient for the body. It is required for the proper growth of the body, for hormonal secretions within the body, for efficient functioning of our systems, for muscle repair etc. To fulfill these needs, it is important to have around a gram of protein per kg of your body weight daily. Unfortunately, the diet that we take in these days is naturally deprived of this vital element. A survey has revealed that about 80 percent Indians lack protein in their diets and 9 out every 10 Indians are protein deficient. Hence, having a reliable protein supplement by your side is of outmost importance. There are hundreds of products circulating in the market with big names and claims; however, today here we are going to review one of the finest protein supplements – Nutrilite Protein Powder that does what it says. According to us this product is great and worthy of being a part of your daily diet.
This review is for Nutrilite Protein Powder and not for Nutrilite All Plant Protein Powder. Both are different products.
Nutrilite All Plant Protein Powder as the name suggests, utilizes only plant derived sources of proteins namely wheat, yellow peas and soy. It does not rely on dairy sources for the Whey concentrate and hence it is lactose free. It supplies all the nine essential amino acids and is a great option for lactose intolerant people.
You can differentiate between the two by the packaging itself. Nutrilite Protein Powder comes in tin container with Milk Glass displayed on the front. The Nutrilite All Plant Protein Powder comes in Plastic Bottles with a Bowl of Beans displayed on the front.
