What To Know Before Buying Organic Protein Powder

By Earlene McGee


Although the results of taking supplemental proteins are most visible in bodybuilders, people at all levels of strength and fitness also use them to increase muscular strength and build endurance. They are popular with those who regularly exercise and want faster, targeted results. Organic protein powder is a natural choice for consumers who already avoid chemical pesticide residues in their food, and has become a significant segment of the supplement industry.

The substance is derived from several different sources, including whey, casein, eggs, soy, milk, and rice, and is commonly consumed as shakes or smoothies. It requires no kitchen facility to prepare, can be taken to work, can have a lower calorie count that is helpful for people trying to lose weight, and is easily digested. It helps rebuild muscle tissue after a strenuous workout, and is primarily marketed to younger, active people.

Nutritionists have repeatedly advised against using them as a regular substitute for actual food, primarily because most people already get ample supplies of protein. Long-term, exclusive use or inadvertent over-reliance is never recommended, and in some cases can result in deficiencies of other key nutrients. Taken to the extreme, excess consumption can damage bones and organs, and has been implicated in some types of cancer.

Few people actually use them to that extent, and the supplements can be beneficial for young adults who are still not fully grown. They are also helpful for people beginning an exercise regimen, or increasing the intensity of their current program. People who have been seriously injured use them to help speed recovery, and vegetable-based formulas are ideal for both vegetarians and those who are lactose-intolerant.

The next logical step for manufacturers has been to incorporate organically produced ingredients. The supplement industry has been criticized for under-regulation of some product ingredients, and there are still few controls compared to most other foods. The word organic sounds healthier to consumers, and has been over-used as a marketing tool, but is an important consideration when buying a product.

People want food raised without the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, and supermarket sales of organically grown meat and produce are no longer limited to high-priced outlets. To be certified, a food must be produced in accordance with USDA regulations governing initial production, handling after harvest, and in the end result of processing. Those standards may also apply to some ingredients used in powdered supplements.

The most informed consumers ignore marketing strategies and check the labels carefully before buying any product. Simply designating a particular product as purely and ethically produced does not transform it into a natural product, even though it may have well-documented benefits. Adding the organic label automatically increases store prices, and nutritional supplements share that markup.

Those with food allergies or gluten intolerance find organic products to be a generally safer choice, and consider them worth the additional cost. In an increasingly degraded environment, buying these products encourages more sustainable practices. Today there are more supplemental powder choices than ever before, making it even more important to be aware of the ingredients before buying.
