Why is it important to eat protein?
Proteins are essential for your health. They help build and repair tissues, produce enzymes and hormones, and strengthen the immune system. They help preserve muscle mass, increase satiety and support growth. Found in both animal and plant sources, they play a key role in metabolism and contribute to overall good health.

What are amino acids and what are they used for?
Amino acids are the basic building blocks of protein. Of the 20 amino acids, 9 are considered essential because the body cannot manufacture them, so they must be supplied by the diet. There are many sources of plant and animal proteins that enable you to obtain all the essential amino acids. The protein and amino acid content varies according to the source. Our vegetable protein powders contain over 22g of protein. We use pea protein, rice protein and sunflower protein, giving you a complete supply of essential amino acids.

How much protein do I need to stay healthy?
The amount of protein to consume depends on age, sex, weight and level of physical activity. In general, the WHO recommends around 0.8 g of protein per kilo of body weight per day for a sedentary adult. This corresponds to 56 g for a 70 kg person. Requirements are higher for pregnant and breastfeeding women, for senior citizens to maintain muscle mass, and for athletes and body-builders.

Where to find protein?
A balanced and varied diet is the best way to meet your protein needs. If you don't eat animal products, you can find protein in legumes (e.g. beans, chickpeas, peas, lentils), oilseeds (e.g. almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds), seeds (e.g. hemp seeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds, sunflower seeds), wholegrain cereals (e.g. quinoa, oats, brown rice) and soy products. Alternatively, dietary supplements are an easy way to increase your daily protein intake.

When should I eat protein?
Protein should be consumed throughout the day to meet the body's needs. It is advisable to divide your protein intake between meals to promote muscle synthesis and maintain energy levels.
At breakfast: To start the day with a lasting energy boost.
After a sports session: Within 30 to 60 minutes of exercise, to optimize muscle recovery.
Before going to bed: A slow protein source (such as casein) can promote muscle repair during the night.
Regularity is key to maximizing the benefits of protein on the body.

How do I prepare my shaker?
To prepare your protein shaker, mix one scoop of powder (30g) with 200-300 ml of water, milk or plant-based milk (almond milk or oat milk, for example), according to your preference. Pour in the liquid first to avoid lumps, then shake well for a few seconds to obtain a homogeneous texture.

What are the advantages of consuming plant proteins rather than animal proteins?
Plant proteins contain lower levels of saturated fatty acids than animal proteins, which can have an impact on cardiovascular health. They also provide fiber, vitamins (such as B vitamins), minerals (iron, magnesium) and antioxidants.
It's part of an approach that respects animal welfare and sustainable living.
Finally, the production of plant proteins requires fewer resources (water, land, energy) and emits fewer greenhouse gases than the production of animal proteins.
