You can’t walk through a grocery store, a gym, or even a smoothie shop without seeing protein powders. If you’ve ever tried them, you know protein drinks can be tasty, satisfying and muscle fueling.
Interestingly, you can use protein powders to help you lose weight. You can use them to help you gain weight. And you can use them to maintain your health.
Losing weight and becoming stronger:
Protein powders can decrease your hunger and appetite in two different ways. Protein increases hormones that are appetite reducing and decrease hormones that make you feel hungry. Protein powder also helps you feel full for a longer amount of time.
When you get enough protein in your diet it can help you loose weight without losing muscle mass. Protein powders can be an important post workout routine. They can help you recover after an intense exercise session, increasing muscle gain and strength.
Protein powder drinks can also act as a meal replacement. Which comes in handy when you are rushing out the door or crazy busy with your work from home schedule.
Gaining weight:
Conversely, when used correctly, protein powder can help you gain weight. This is especially important when recovering from an illness or metabolism issues. Simply add protein powder drinks in addition to your regular balanced meals to add healthy calories to your daily intake.
Protein Greens:
At Harbor Health and Apothecary (both in store and online at www.cellcodenutrition.com) we offer a top of the line protein powder called PROTEIN GREENS made by Cell Code®, our private label supplement line.
What makes Cell Code’s Protein Greens so special?
It is a plant-based protein powder that contains 5 sources of protein from pea, chia, brown rice, flaxseed, and chlorella.
This formula is vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, and sweetened with Stevia.
The plant-based proteins provide essential and non-essential amino acids that support general daily protein requirements along with cardiovascular health benefits. Vegan plant proteins support healthy blood glucose and lipid levels. Additionally, studies show that a low-calorie, low-protein vegan diet supports healthy blood pressure, lipid, insulin, and CRP levels.
The fiber blend in Cell Code’s Protein Greens includes inulin, a prebiotic for gastrointestinal health and probiotic survival, and apple pectin is a soluble fiber to aid in bowel regularity and colon health.
Cell Code’s Protein Greens contains a full color spectrum of 29 fruits, vegetables, and herbs that provide a high total antioxidant value. Its phytonutrient blend has been clinically studied in humans for support of healthy oxidative and nitrosative stress markers (free radicals), nitric oxide levels, and cellular metabolic activity.
And, did we mention a tasty vanilla flavor?
