Healthy Ageing

As we age, muscle and bone loss is a growing concern due to the associated negative health implications.

A recent study conducted at Boston University showed that elderly individuals who consumed low levels of protein had a significant loss of bone density four years after the start of the study, especially in the hip and spine areas. Whey proteins, in particular high quality WPC and WPI such as the Pure Nutrition whey range have the ability to help prevent bone loss.

Another study recently published on behalf of the Dietitians Association of Australia found that Whey proteins provide a better net source of available nutrients and essential amino acids than other proteins and that adequate amounts of high quality whey protein may help maintain strong muscles during aging.
