Olimp Sojavit 85 is a soy protein isolate, whose rich amino acid profile guarantees high bioavailability. The supplement is especially recommended for people on vegan and vegetarian diets who want to provide high-quality protein. The product has been enriched with choline, inositol and l-carnitine, the supply of which in diets that exclude zoonotic products is often insufficient.
Soy protein isolate (SPI) - is an ideal solution for people who exclude zoonotic products from their diet, but still want to provide a complete source of protein. It is an essential building block for the body, not only for physically active people.
The aminogram of protein derived from soy is characterized by a high content of essential amino acids, as well as endogenous ones, especially arginine and glutamic acid. As a result, the biological value of SPI is 74. This indicator indicates the ability to use the amino acids contained in the protein for current needs, and egg white is considered the reference protein, which has a biological value of 100.
Soy protein in the form of an isolate has a low carbohydrate and fat content, which has a beneficial effect on the rate of absorption of amino acids from the gastrointestinal tract. As a result, the nutrient is ideal as a protein supplement at around-workout time, as well as an addition to a meal low in protein.
Protein requirements
The amount of protein recommended for consumption depends mainly on the level of physical activity and age. Contrary to popular belief, physically inactive people should also consume dietary protein at about 1 gram per kilogram of body weight. The amount may be slightly higher in the elderly, who often absorb protein less well, and an increased supply may prevent sarcopenia.
Protein in physically active people
As the level of physical activity increases, the body's need for protein increases, which enables muscle regeneration and restoration of damaged tissues. Depending on the sport practiced, dietary recommendations for protein intake range from 1.2 to as much as 2.2 grams per kilogram of body weight. This ensures that the body has sufficient substrate to protect muscles from catabolism, reduce microtrauma and promote muscular hypertrophy.
Functions of proteins in the body
Proteins are the basic building blocks of skin, muscle, hair or internal organs, so it is important to supply them according to the body's current needs. Proteins have enzymatic, transport and storage functions, and are essential for the production of peptide hormones. In an average person, proteins account for 12-15% of body weight, and this percentage increases with more muscle. Every day there is a process of protein turnover in the body, which results in the degradation of about 300g of protein, which is partly used for the synthesis of endogenous amino acids. This process helps get rid of unneeded and used proteins so that the body can replace them with new ones.
Support for the nervous system
High content of choline in the formula supports the proper functioning of the nervous system, as it is used for the synthesis of acetylcholine. This neurotransmitter is responsible for sensing stimuli from both the external and internal environment, participates in the process of memory formation and communicates with skeletal muscles by regulating their contractility. Inositol on the other hand, influences the structure of brain cells, protecting it from damage. In addition, it enables the proper transmission of impulses in the nervous system, promotes the maintenance of brain plasticity, and has a beneficial effect on mood and well-being.
Efficient energy metabolism
Contained in the nutrient l-carnitine is responsible for transporting long-chain fatty acids to the inside of the mitochondrion, enabling the process of beta-oxidation of lipids. Its supply promotes the maintenance of metabolic efficiency of mitochondria, and thus increases the perceived energy level and helps to get rid of excess free radicals. Low availability of l-carnitine may be a limiting factor in the process of utilizing fatty acids for energy, especially in people who avoid zoonotic products. L-carnitine is found only in animal products, mainly in meat (red meat), but it can also be found in milk, cheese or eggs.
In summary, Olimp Sojavit 85 is a high-quality protein supplement, containing only proteins derived from soy. It provides a wholesome and well-absorbed source of protein, which ensures efficient post-workout regeneration and facilitates the process of building muscle mass. The addition of ingredients that support the work of the nervous system and mitochondria promotes the maintenance of performance of the entire body. SPI is an ideal source of protein for those avoiding animal products in their diet, while caring for the supply of high-quality protein.
