What The Organic Protein Powder Means To Your Health

By Janine Hughes


For anyone interested in muscle strength and development, such as athletes, bodybuilders and any other regular gym goers, protein powders are part of the staple foods. This powder is known to aid in muscle repair and muscle growth after an intensive training. In addition to muscle building, some of the powders also come with extra benefits such as supplementing the minerals and vitamins. However, there are questions as to whether organic protein powder is just as good as the conventional non-organic varieties or better.

An organically grown food is a food product that is grown from a natural condition. Normally, this should mean the absence of the following inorganic substances; pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, ionizing radiation, genetically modified organisms (GMO), sewage sludge, antibiotics, and any growth hormones. Today, it is difficult to buy anything from the stores that is not produced from one or more of these unnatural and sometimes harmful substances as they cut own cost and time of production.

Generally, there are three labels you should look for in food products and drinks. The first is 100% organic. This simply indicates that the product is 100% natural. It contains no element of inorganic compounds like pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones, ionizing radiations, and is not grown through the genetically modified organisms (GMO).

However, if it is just labeled organic, then it is at least 95% natural. The products that are 70% to 95% natural are labeled, "made with organic ingredients". However, this should be accompanied with the USDA Organic label as the evidence of the same.

In order to compensate for their expensive cost of production, these products are normally more expensive. However, this is a cost that most people will be willing to pay. Clearly, the moment you consider to use any of the supplements, and then it should be the healthiest option available. The non-natural protein products ordinarily cost less, but for those who know what is good for them, they are always willing to pay a little more.

The grass fed whey protein is usually labeled organic. Although the grains are natural in their production method, grains are not the natural food for cow. The result is an incomplete protein, which is more likely to disturb the cow's capacity to produce high quality amino-acids. Since the buyer simply ingesting what the cow ingested, it becomes a major issue of concern.

The other favorite options are the raw protein powders that are plant based. They are gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free and vegan. They are very easy to ingest. They are largely not processed, and do not go through a heating, hence more nutrients are preserved. Normally, manufacturers usually sweeten them with a natural sweetener and stevia. They also contain no an artificial flavors and are hence raw and natural.

The other common varieties are those that are hemp based, brown rice based, vegan (peas, rice, hemp, quinoa and more varieties), and several others. All those are either plant or animal products. As such, it pays to carefully read and select those that are natural as they have more health benefits. The good variety of powder also taste better and are easier to ingest.
