Nature’s Richest Source of Biologically Active Protein

Whey protein contains all the amino acids the body needs in the best balance yet discovered in any food.

Designs for Health is a professional supplement brand that offers a wide range of nutritional products. DFH makes several high quality, great tasting protein powders that we absolutely love! For instance, WheyMeal, Pure Paleo Protein, and Pure Paleo Meal.

Protein is made up of building blocks called amino acids. There are 20 different amino acids. Eight of them are essential. Unlike fat and starch, the human body does not store excess amino acids for later use. Our bodies can only produce the non-essential amino acids, therefore, essential amino acids must be supplied from food and/or supplements.

In general, you want complete proteins because they contain meaningful amounts of all eight essential amino acids.

A few examples of complete protein sources are:

• Wild-caught fish (such as salmon, trout, bass, and mackerel)
• Cage-free eggs
• Quinoa
• Grass-fed beef and lamb
• Grass-fed whey protein

Whey protein is nature’s richest source of biologically active protein. Unlike soy protein, which is low in the amino acid methionine, whey protein contains all the amino acids the body needs in the best balance yet discovered in any food.

Whey protein provides a good source of the amino acids cysteine and leucine. These amino acids support the production of detoxifying elements needed to eliminate mercury from the body.
