Protein: Not Just for Athletes and Bodybuilders – It’s Essential for Everyone

Whether you’re running a marathon or simply running errands, your body depends on protein to function at its best.

From the strength of your hair to the soles of your feet, protein is the building block that supports your muscles, skin, immune system, and so much more. It keeps you energized, helps you recover, and ensures your body’s basic functions run smoothly.

Without enough protein, your body simply can’t function.

How does Protein Support Longevity?

Protein is an essential macronutrient that helps preserve lean muscle, fuel metabolism, and support the production of key body proteins to keep your body strong, resilient, and thriving for life​.

  • Helps build and combat muscle loss
  • Supports healthy hair, skin, and nails
  • Provides immune support
  • Helps you reach and maintain a healthy weight
  • Provides the building blocks to make hormones and enzymes

How Much Protein Do You Need?

New science reveals you need far more protein to preserve and build lean muscle – up to 0.8 gram per pound of target body weight. But today’s diet isn’t even close to delivering that.

Lean muscle begins declining in your 30s and accelerates in your 50s, quietly eroding strength, slowing metabolism, and sapping vitality. Muscle isn’t just for athletes – it’s one of the strongest predictors of how well you age. Yet most people are unknowingly under-consuming protein, widening the gap between how we want to age and how we’re actually aging. Less muscle. More fatigue. Faster decline.

Protein + Leucine

To build and maintain lean muscle, your body needs both protein and leucine​/

Protein is the material used for muscle building and repair. ​

When you consume protein, your body breaks it down into amino acids which are then used to build new muscle tissue, repair damaged muscles, and support muscle function.

Leucine acts as the ‘signal’ that tells your body to start building lean muscle. Without it, even with all the other amino acids, muscle building can’t happen. While others are just catching on, we’ve been innovating and pushing the science of leucine forward for almost 20 years.

Soy Protein: Separating Fact from Fiction

Myth: “Soy messes with your hormones.”
Truth: Studies show that eating or drinking soy has no significant effect on hormone levels in either men or women.

Myth: “Soy isn’t a complete protein.”
Truth: Soy is one of the few plant-based complete proteins, meaning it has all 9 essential amino acids needed for muscle growth, repair, and energy.

Myth: “Soy causes bloating or digestive issues.”
Truth: High-quality soy has most of the fermentable carbs removed, making it easier to digest.

Myth: “Soy is bad for men.”
Truth: Numerous studies show that soy does not reduce testosterone or impair male fertility.

Myth: “All soy is GMO and highly processed.”
Truth: Not all soy is GMO. Shaklee only uses non-GMO soy protein isolate that is carefully sourced and vigorously tested.
