Question 5

What is Protein Powder and who actually needs it?

Accepted Answer

Protein powder is a concentrated supplement derived from whey, casein, or plant sources. ICMR-NIN recommends 0.83g of protein per kg of body weight daily. Most people can meet this through whole foods, but athletes, the elderly, and those with high physical demands may benefit from supplementing.

Question 6

How much Protein do I need per day as an Indian?

Accepted Answer

Protein needs vary by weight and activity. ICMR-NIN recommends a minimum of 0.83g per kg of body weight daily for sedentary adults. Active individuals and athletes may need 1.2-2.0g per kg. Exceeding this consistently without medical guidance may strain the kidneys over time.

Question 7

Is whey protein suitable for vegetarians in India?

Accepted Answer

Whey protein is derived from cow's milk, making it lacto-vegetarian but not vegan. Strict vegans should choose plant-based options like pea, rice, yeast or soy protein. Both whey and plant protein can support muscle building when consumed consistently at adequate daily doses.

Question 8

What is the difference between Whey Protein and Plant Protein, and which should I buy?

Accepted Answer

Whey protein (dairy-derived) absorbs faster; plant proteins (pea, rice, yeast, soy) suit vegans and those with dairy intolerance. Both deliver comparable muscle gain at sufficient doses. Before buying, check Unbox Health's lab-tested ratings to verify whether a brand's protein content, protein quality and purity claims hold up independently.

Question 9

When is the best time to take Protein Powder?

Accepted Answer

Research shows timing matters less than total daily protein intake. Taking protein within 2 hours post-workout supports muscle repair. Spreading intake across 3 to 4 meals of 20-40g each is more effective for muscle recovery than a single large dose.

Question 10

Can Protein Powder damage kidneys?

Accepted Answer

For healthy individuals, protein powder does not cause kidney damage at recommended intake levels. However, those with pre-existing kidney conditions may consider avoiding high-protein diets. ICMR-NIN cautions that prolonged, excessive protein intake may lead to bone mineral loss and kidney strain over time.

Question 11

What are the common side effects of Protein Powder?

Accepted Answer

Whey protein may cause bloating, gas, or acne in those sensitive to dairy. Plant proteins are gentler on digestion but can cause flatulence from legume-based sources. Choosing a protein powder matched to your dietary tolerance reduces most side effects significantly.

Question 12

Are Protein Powder supplement label claims reliable in India?

Accepted Answer

Studies show 70% of popular protein supplements sold in India are mislabelled, with some delivering less than half the claimed protein. Common issues include amino spiking with cheaper fillers like glycine and taurine. Unbox Health independently lab-tests protein powders in India to verify whether label claims match actual content.

Question 13

Does ICMR-NIN recommend protein supplements for Indians?

Accepted Answer

No. ICMR-NIN's 2024 Dietary Guidelines advise against protein supplements for all population groups, including athletes, citing risks of mislabelling, adulteration, and excessive intake. The guidelines recommend meeting protein needs through a balanced, diverse diet of whole foods whenever possible.

Question 14

How do I check if a protein powder is genuine and not adulterated?

Accepted Answer

Counterfeiting and adulteration are common in India's protein supplement market. Look for FSSAI-approved brands with a Certificate of Analysis from a NABL-accredited lab. Unbox Health's lab-tested ratings help buyers identify protein powders that genuinely deliver their claimed protein content and are free from contaminants.
