Protein Boost Bars

What are Protein Boost Bars?

Protein Boost Bars are a tasty and convenient way to support your daily protein intake. Each bar provides 16 g of high-quality protein to support muscle mass¹ and bone health² for optimal strength which is especially important as we age. They also contain 2.6 g of fibre per serving to support daily fibre intake and contain only naturally occurring sugars. These delicious bars are available in either a smooth Peanut Caramel or Cookie Dough flavour and are an enjoyable alternative to traditional protein snacks that can be hard or chalky.

Why is protein so important?

Protein is made up of amino acids, which act as the building blocks for muscles, skin, hair, enzymes and hormones. Adequate protein intake helps support muscle maintenance and growth, which is key for staying active, steady and independent as you age. It also plays an important role in collagen production, a vital protein that helps maintain the structure of skin, joints, bones and connective tissues. Over time, natural muscle mass and collagen levels begin to decline which can affect strength, mobility and bone health. That’s why ensuring a consistent intake of high-quality protein can be an important part of supporting healthy ageing.

Why choose Healthspan?

Each bar delivers 16 g of high-quality protein, while being soft, easy to chew, and something to look forward to – helping you stay consistent with your daily routine while supporting muscle strength, bone health and overall wellbeing.

Who is it for?

Protein Boost Bars are ideal for adults looking to maintain strength and mobility throughout their life. They’re especially suited to those who may find it harder to get enough protein through meals alone, or who want a softer, more enjoyable snack option to support healthy ageing.

When is the best time to eat a protein bar?

Any time you need a convenient protein boost, but for optimal muscle support, consume protein within a few hours after exercise. Regular intake is especially important as we age to help maintain muscle strength and function.

How much protein do I need each day?

Protein needs vary depending on age, body weight and activity level. For an example, an average 85 kg male would need around 110 g protein a day, whilst an average 72 kg woman would need around 94 g for muscle mass support. Protein should be consumed as part of a varied, balanced diet and alongside physical activity for best results.

What pairs well with protein for strength?

Creatine Monohydrate pairs perfectly with protein in supporting strength and power³, and can also enhance the effect of resistance training in muscle strength in adults⁴.

¹ Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass

² Protein contributes to the maintenance of normal bones

³ Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term high intensity exercise. The beneficial effect is obtained with 3 g/day creatine.

⁴ Daily creatine consumption can enhance the effect of resistance training on muscle strength in adults over the age 55.

⁵ The beneficial effect is obtained with 3 g/day creatine and resistance training at least 3x weekly at 65-75% of one repetition maximum load, with progressive workload increases.
