Protein – Musashi 100% Whey Protein Powder and Prana On Power Plant Protein Powder

Now you might be thinking protein powders are only for men who hit the gym to “make them gains”, but in actual fact, muscle mass naturally declines as men get older.  Protein supplements (whey or plant based) can be helpful to prevent age-related muscle loss and maintain weight and body composition, especially when incorporated with a regular exercise and strength training routine.

Protein can also be beneficial to help manage and reduce chronic health conditions common in men such as high blood pressure, increasing insulin levels and sensitivity in type 2 diabetes, achieve satiety for weight management.
