Protein in the form of whole foods protein (dhal, legumes, peas, protein-rich vegetables, spirulina, other superfoods), protein powders or shakes are essential
for daily efficient cellular, muscular, hormonal, nerve and brain function. Protein is necessary for the health of our eyes, our skin and nails and beauty as well. When a diet is not rich in clean vegetarian protein, it is a good idea to supplement the diet with top up protein. Please note: we do not recommend complete substitution of whole foods such as vegetables, and legumes. On average, a person needs 0.9g - 1.2g protein per kilo of body weight. The more strenuous one's physical activity or if one is recovering from an injury, a surgery then one may need more than the average 1g protein per kilo of body weight.
