Q: Is Origin Nutrition protein shake a good meal replacement?

A: Yes. Based on your daily nutrition requirements, macros, and exercise levels, you can use Origin Nutrition protein shake as a meal replacement or anytime during the day. However, a balanced meal isn't just about protein; it's about the whole package – protein, carbs, fats, and fiber. Here's how to supercharge your shakes:

Bananas, berries, and oats for good carbs.

Peanut butter, yogurt, avocado, and nuts and seeds for healthy fats. Spinach, broccoli, and collard greens for fiber.

Q: Will Origin Nutrition Protein help me lose weight?

A: Effective weight management involves maintaining a calorie deficit through diet and exercise. According to the Dietary Reference Intake (DRI), the recommended protein intake is 0.8 to 1 gram per kilogram of body weight. A high-protein diet can support this goal. An Origin Nutrition protein shake can help with weight loss by keeping you satiated and energized throughout the day, making it easier to manage your weight and fuel your workouts.

Q: Will a vegan protein suit a non-vegan diet? What about those with food allergies or intolerance?

A: Absolutely. Many non-vegetarians are allergic to milk or lactose. Whey protein contains lactose, while vegan protein is hypoallergenic, which makes it the perfect choice for those with food sensitivities or allergies. It’s also easily digestible as it doesn’t contain any milk or milk products.

Q: What is vegan protein? Isn’t all protein vegan?

A: Vegan protein comes from plant materials like pea, soy, rice, and others, which are first dried and then powdered. Protein is then extracted, processed, and filtered to remove other components like fat and carbohydrates. The reduced product is then dried and used in vegan protein powder. However, not all plant-based proteins are complete – meaning they may not contain adequate amounts of all nine essential amino acids. It’s essential to read the label to check if the protein contains all essential amino acids and stay informed to create a well-balanced diet that provides the right nutrition for you.

Q: Can I have Origin Nutrition protein if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

A: Yes, because our products do not contain any papain or bromelain, there are minimal chances of allergic reactions. However, it is always a good idea to consult with your gynaecologist and health practitioner if you’re introducing new foods or supplements to your diet during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Q: Can my children have Origin Nutrition protein?

A: Yes, but based on their age, they might need smaller quantities. Children also tend to get their required protein amounts from natural sources. So consult with your paediatrician first to make a guided decision for your child.
