Protein Powders
Why do Natural Point Stock Protein Powders? For Optimum Nutrition!
A common misconception is that protein can only be found in meat and dairy. While it is true that complete protein is more readily available in meats, it is certainly possible to achieve your protein requirements from a plant based diet.
Whether you eat meat or not it can be tricky to get your daily protein, and so many of us have taken a tip from athletes and begun enjoying protein shakes as a supplement.
Plant proteins like rice and pea are considered to be hypoallergenic, usually well tolerated and digested by most people. As such, these protein powders can be used when we take part in detox programs, ensuring we remain healthy as we get clean!
