Nourishing Protein
Our verdict
A decent vegan protein with a nutrition blend layered on top. Protein intake matters more than most women realise from 40 onward, for muscle and bone. Cheaper plain pea proteins do the same job if the extras do not appeal.
Pros
- +Complete plant protein blend
- +Added vitamins and minerals
- +Dairy free
Cons
- -Expensive per gram of protein
- -Grainy compared with whey
- -Flavour will not suit everyone
Evidence
Adequate protein intake supports muscle mass retention, which declines faster after menopause. Blended plant proteins provide a full amino acid profile.
Dose
One scoop daily in water, milk or a smoothie
Best for
- · Protein intake in perimenopause and beyond
