Could Protein Be Your Wellness Game-Changer?
Protein does far more than build muscle — it fuels your body, supports healthy aging, helps with weight loss, and keeps your hair, skin, and nails strong. Learn how much you need and why it’s a must-have for everyday wellness.
What Makes Protein So Powerful?
Protein isn’t just a “gym thing” — it’s a daily essential for everyone. From keeping your muscles strong to giving you healthy skin and hair, it’s the building block your body uses to stay energised, resilient, and looking great.
At Joelle’s Studio, we make getting enough protein simple, delicious, and totally customisable — but first, here’s why it matters so much.
How Much Do You Really Need?
Your body needs protein every single day. A good guideline is:
- Everyday health: about 0.8 g per kg of body weight
- Active lifestyles: 1.2–1.6 g/kg
- For building muscle or healthy weight loss: 1.6–2.2 g/kg
That means if you weigh 70 kg and are active, you’d aim for roughly 85–110 g of protein a day — spread across meals and snacks.
Not All Protein is Created Equal
Proteins can be complete (containing all 9 essential amino acids — like whey, milk, eggs, and yeast protein) or incomplete (missing some amino acids — like certain grains or nuts).
Complete proteins are the most efficient for your body to use, which is why ProPure Iso-Whey and ProPure Iso-Fusion gives you a clean, complete source in every scoop.
Our ProCraft flavours even add extra protein from yeast protein concentrate — so your flavour works for you too.
Collagen is not considered a complete protein source. Here’s why:
A complete protein contains all 9 essential amino acids (EAAs) in sufficient amounts.
Collagen is rich in glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, which are great for skin, joints, and connective tissue.
But it is low in tryptophan (and also lower in some branched-chain amino acids like leucine), so it doesn’t meet the definition of a complete protein.
👉 This means collagen is fantastic as a functional protein for beauty, skin, and joint health, but it shouldn’t be relied on as your sole protein source. That’s why many people combine it with whey or other complete proteins — exactly like your ProGlow + ProPure combo does.
Protein is needed for Healthy Aging
As we get older, our bodies naturally lose muscle — a process called sarcopenia. Without enough protein, this can lead to weakness, poor balance, and reduced independence.
The good news? Meeting your protein needs helps you:
- Maintain strength and mobility
- Support bone health
- Keep your skin firm and healthy
Protein Is For More Than Just Building Muscle
While protein is famous for building muscle, its role goes far beyond the gym. Protein:
- Keeps you satisfied for longer by slowing digestion and balancing blood sugar
- Supports your immune system by creating antibodies that fight off illness
- Helps produce hormones and enzymes that control everything from energy levels to mood
- Repairs and maintains tissues in your skin, organs, and connective tissues
- Feeds healthy hair, glowing skin, and strong nails through collagen and keratin production
In short — it’s a nutrient your body uses every day, for almost everything.
Is Protein Important For Weight Loss?
Absolutely Yes! When you’re losing weight, you’re not just burning fat — your body can also break down muscle for energy. Eating enough protein helps protect that precious muscle, which is important because:
- More muscle means a faster metabolism, making it easier to keep weight off
- Protein keeps you fuller for longer, reducing cravings and snacking, making it easier to stay in a caloric deficit.
- It helps your body recover and adapt as you increase activity or change your eating habits
That’s why high-protein diets are consistently shown to be more effective for sustainable weight loss and maintenance.
