In a scenario where eating habits are undergoing transformation-and where nutritional values compete for attention with marketing labels-proteins emerge as undisputed protagonists. They are no longer the exclusive domain of athletes: today they are recognized as essential nutrients for advancement, repair, and maintenance of the organism in all stages of life.

According too the World Health Association and the FAO, maintaining an adequate intake of high-biological-value proteins is crucial to prevent muscle loss, especially in older adults or people with chronic diseases. The Global Nutrition Report 2021 warns that more than 10% of the world’s population does not reach the necessary levels of protein consumption, a fact that raises alerts and explains the growth of fortified products, seals such as “+protein” and interest in option and sustainable sources.
