Global Protein Powder Market Outlook

For ages, protein powder has been preferred by many in order to increase their protein intake. The protein content in these powders is very high and thus their presence in the diet would ensure a high amount of protein intake in your diet. Many athletes prefer these products as normal food does not contain such a percentage of protein in them that helps them build muscle in relatively less time. Kids’ nutrition powders are also a good source of protein for budding children that helps them in the growth of their bones and muscles.

Health Benefits of Protein Powder

Protein has always been known as one of the most essential macronutrients that help in building and developing muscles. In addition to that, it forms a key component of the diet of the individuals who keep their food intake in check to reduce carbs. This is done to lose some weight in order to get in shape. Whey protein comprises components like beta-lactoglobulin, alpha lactalbumin, bovine serum albumin, and immunoglobulins. These play a major role in ensuring weight loss and lowering the cholesterol level in the body. It has been proved in the reports that the intake of protein powder helps in improving the immune response of the children. Adding to that, whey protein also helps the patients who are diagnosed with hypertension by reducing their blood pressure considerably. Also the risk of developing heart disease or stroke goes significantly down. For athletes who intake protein powder as supplement are observed to have a more relative gain in their lean tissue mass.

Different Types of Protein Powder

There are mainly 3 different types of protein powder, namely- whey protein concentrate, whey protein isolate, whey protein hydrolysate. Among all three, whey protein concentrate contains the least amount of fat and carbohydrates. This type of protein powder is further divided into 2 types- lower end concentrate and higher end concentrate. The lower end concentrate typically contains up to 30 percent protein. Whereas, on the other hand the higher end protein may contain up to 90 percent protein. Whey protein isolate is one of the most common found powders and is preferred by many. These powders are further processed to remove all the fat and lactose for those individuals who keep a regular check on their carbs intake. Famously known as the “predigested” form of protein, whey protein hydrolysate undergoes partial hydrolysis. This makes the entire process of protein absorption by the body very easy. Thus, in comparison with the other two types of protein powders, it is relatively easier to digest this protein by the body. The main application of whey protein hydrolysate is in the medical supplements and the infant formulas due to its property of easy digestion.
