Plant-Based Proteins

Sports and fitness nutrition supplements have long since been recognised for their benefits. However, where, at first, it was largely animal-based products, recent years have seen a demand for pure plant protein.

This increase is not only to accommodate vegans and vegetarians, but it is also due to the health benefits of plant-based protein. At Fat Burners Only, we offer a vast range of different brands of plant-based protein powders, with something for everyone.

What Is It?

Plant protein is made from vegetables, legumes, seeds, and grains. It contains no animal-based ingredients like whey, which is made from dairy. As such, it’s not only perfect for vegans but also eliminates the inherent health risks of animal-based supplements. One of the common supplements that have a plant base, protein products, have a variety of uses depending on the fitness goal.

We offer everything from regular plant-based protein powder to amino acids and pre- and post-workout supplements. When using supplements, ensure you buy supplements that support your overall fitness goal.

The Benefits

If you’re an athlete, gym enthusiast, or looking to become fitter in general, supplements can help you on your journey. Supplements boost your body’s performance and endurance and can help it recover after your workout. However, why should you use plant-based proteins instead of animal-based ones? We’ll explain.

Easily Absorbed

Plant-based protein powder is easy to absorb since your body breaks it down and absorbs it faster than whey-based products. Since it breaks down faster, it encourages your body to use it for cell growth and muscle repair.

Reduces Risk of Chronic Disease

When using plant-based proteins, you can carry a decreased risk for chronic illnesses. Plants have a lot more fibre and phytonutrients than a whey-based powder while containing less saturated fats. Consuming over a long period means you take in lower levels of saturated fats and cholesterol. As such, you’re at a lower risk for many diseases and heart problems, which can be caused by a buildup of cholesterol and saturated fats.

Reduces Risk of Allergy

Plant-based protein shakes are less likely to cause an allergic reaction. Most animal-based products contain whey or casein, which are both common allergies. Animal Based products are also not ideal for lactose-intolerant people since they are made from dairy. Using plant protein can eliminate that risk in most cases. However, ensure you always read the labels if you have allergies, as it can contain soy, which is also a common allergy.

Boost Your Metabolism

Another benefit is that plant-based protein powder boosts and regulates your metabolism. This is because plant-based protein takes longer to digest than normal carbohydrates, fats and animal-based products. Since your metabolism has to work harder to process the fibre in the protein plant-based supplements, it becomes better at doing the task.
