Why Bioteen Created This Supplement (Understanding the Problem)
Protein is a hard- working nutrient. It's needed for the growth and repair of muscles and tissues, and the production of enzymes and hormones. Proteins provide the building blocks, called amino acids and polypeptides, of all muscle tissue. Protein is also your "brain food." Because your brain is one big muscle, not getting enough protein can hurt brain function.
Protein needs are based on age, sex, body weight and stage of development, with teens needing between 10 to 30% of their daily calories from protein. Although an individual's exact needs will vary, the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) provides a good reference for how much of a certain nutrient a healthy individual needs in a day. The RDA for protein is 46 grams for teenage girls and 52 grams for teenage boys per day.
The amount of protein Teens need depends on their height, weight, gender and level of activity. In general, teenage boys need about 52 grams of protein per day, while teenage girls need about 46 grams per day. More active teen athletes require more protein.
In order for protein to do its job, teens have to eat enough food to meet their daily energy needs. When calories are too low, the body uses protein for energy, leaving less for its other roles.
The rationale for creating Bioteen's Whey Protein was to provide a healthy complete source of protein in an easy to use ready to mix formulation which contains no sugar, no preservatives and includes vitamins and minerals to provide a safe and effective protein supplement for those teens not consuming enough protein in their daily diet.
What Is Whey Protein & Who Should Be Taking It
Bioteen's Whey Protein is ideal for Teenagers who are not getting enough protein from their daily diet or for Teens looking for an easy to use protein source to combine with fruits and or vegetables to create healthy smoothies or smoothy bowls.
The Science (How Whey Protein Works)
Our bodies are made up of thousands of different proteins, each with a specific function. They make up the structural components of our cells and tissues as well as many enzymes, hormones and the active proteins secreted from immune cells.
These body proteins are continually being repaired and replaced throughout our lives. This process (known as 'protein synthesis') requires a continuous supply of amino acids. Although some amino acids can be recycled from the breakdown of old body proteins, this process is imperfect. This means we must eat dietary protein to keep up with our body's amino acid demand.
Ingredient Transparency & Quality (Not All Ingredients Are Created Equally)
Quality of raw materials
Ingredient quality is a core focus for us at Bioteen because better ingredients yield products that are highly effective and safe. That's why Bioteen has set the bar high when it comes to the evaluation of our ingredients, from how different forms of ingredients work in the body to where they are sourced and how they have been manufactured. Bioteen has partnered with international suppliers who share our beliefs for quality, purity and scientific research.
- Ingredient safety: All ingredients used in Bioteen are GRAS certified (Generally Recognised as Safe) as published by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
