Protein is one of the most important building blocks of our body. It supports the maintenance of muscle mass, contributes to regeneration, and is involved in numerous metabolic processes. Especially in special life situations, an adequate protein supply can be crucial.
Whether after surgery, during medical treatment, in old age, or during sports: The individual protein requirement can be significantly higher than assumed in everyday life. High-quality protein sources help to optimally nourish the body.
Why is protein so important?
Protein provides essential amino acids that the body cannot produce itself. They are needed, among other things, for:
- Maintenance of muscle mass
- Building and renewal of body tissue
- Normal function of the immune system
- Regeneration after physical exertion
- Support of numerous metabolic processes
Since protein cannot be stored in the body, it should be consumed regularly through food.
When does the protein requirement increase?
An increased protein requirement can exist in situations such as:
- Intense sports
- Older age
- Loss of appetite
- Unintentional weight loss
- Bariatric surgery
- Dialysis
- Medical weight loss with GLP-1 therapies
- Prolonged illnesses or the recovery phase thereafter
In these situations, many people find it difficult to meet their needs through normal meals alone.
