What is Protinex ? Is Protinex a good source of protein?
Protinex is a protein powder, often recommended during times of nutritional deficiency. It has a good amount of protein in one scoop and is a trusted source of protein.
-
- Proteinex has soy protein isolate and should only be taken under a medical prescription during physiological or pathological need
- The hydrolyzed protein in Protinex makes digestion and absorption easy.
- It is hydrolyzed protein-containing di, tri, and polypeptides which are predigested proteins.
How exactly does hydrolyzed protein help you?
Since these are already partially digested and broken down into simpler protein blocks, the absorption and utilization in your cells are quicker and more efficient. But be careful, this is not for everyone. If you are already overweight, have a blood sugar problem or deranged lipid profile or any of the risk factors for Metabolic syndrome consult your doctor before adding anything tto your diet.
Can you take Protinex after a workout?
Yes, you can. Hydrolyzed protein is great post work out to avoid muscle breakdown. But since it has soy protein you must consult your doctor about it. It can cause hormonal disruptions if taken without proper precautions. You can also take your eggs.
Does Protinex increase weight?
It’s a good way to improve the protein intake in people recovering from illness, surgery. It improves health and may increase weight, depending on your overall activity level. It’s great for infants, children, during pregnancy, lactation, and the elderly. I don’t recommend this without an underlying cause for simple protein requirements.
What is a Protein calculator?
Protein calculator is an interesting online app that will help you access your protein intake and correct deficiencies if any.
Ideally, you need to have 0.7gram up to 1 gram of protein per kg per day.But this needs to be adjusted according to your age, gender, physiological states like a growth spurt, pregnancy, breastfeeding, disease states, nature of daily activity and activity level.
So that makes planning a diet challenge. You need to have protein with all your meals.But what if you are busy and can’t always manage a balanced meal .That’s when Protinex can help you.Just find out from the calculator about any deficiency you may have, then supplement it.
Can you get your daily requirement of protein from food?
Yes, you can. But it needs a diet rich in animal protein with every meal. Fish, chicken, eggs, and milk needs to be part of your diet in the correct portions. Plant proteins are not complete proteins .Soy protein isolates

The problem is with the very busy schedules you lose the determination to plan your meals.This is when Protinex helps.
What exactly is Protinex and how do you include it in your diet?
- Protinex is a powder.
- You need to take it mixed with milk.
- Since its predigested or hydrolyzed protein, it gets absorbed quickly and helps revitalize your cells easily.
- Protinex is a complete protein source having all essential amino acids.
- Since its hydrolyzed protein it acts quickly and ensures your body does not suffer from protein deficiency.
- You can include it as a post-exercise drink for yourself and post playtime drink for your children.
- The Protinex bytes are protein biscuits and are pleasantly vanilla flavored and are great for giving as snacks to kids In their growing age we often worry about how to give enough protein. These biscuits help me keep up with my daughters daily protein need and avoid unhealthy snacking.
The range of flavors like tasty chocolate. Elaichi, vanilla and the original Protinex are trusted for its excellent quality. A brand recognized for over 50 years presents you with a simple Protein calculator to help you be healthy every day.

Joining hands with Danone India, Protinex launched a protein calculator at an event on 15th February 2018.
Our U19 Champion captain Prithvi Shaw unveiled the Protein calculator.
Interesting facts which I learned at the event
The recent IMRB survey has found 73% of the Urban population are protein deficient. Lucknow is most deficient(90%) and Kolkata least deficient.
Mr.Himanshu Bakshi Danone IndiaDirector-Marketing,, mentioned that 93% of Indians are unaware of their protein need and intake.
Protein in your diet is very important. ?Ask me why I insist on eggs and fish in my little one’s diet every day?
This is what I tell my daughter
The most important macronutrient which is responsible to make you taller, stronger and sharper is protein.

Proteinx is partly made from SOY.
So if soy is bad as per your post so is proteinx!
Protein based products are solution to everything, it is great that they have variety of flavours and with help of calculator extra protein intake can be calculated .
We are totally pure vegetarian that’s why i always give to my family Protinex. Protinex fulfill the all requirement which needs body.
I’m bulking at the moment (need more muscles haha) and of course protein does take a huge part in that. While I don’t use animal products, your post is very informative – I can imagine that especially during pregnancy, some extra boost can be a great help. 🙂
Wow!
It’s a great way to get protein in your diet!!
especially when you lack it in other foods!

Plethora of knowledge in one post. I didn’t know about the vegan angle of Protinex, another reason to continue using it 🙂 Loved the article, especially the protein deficiency calculator app. Gonna check it soon! Thanks for the information.
Thank you Vartika
Most of my friends are becoming Vegans and are in such a big confusion about their protein intake. Now this is the most yummy alternative for them!
Amazing and informative post. Protinex supplements are best for the health. Great initiative.
This is a new concept to me but a great one. ????.. would love to know more. There are biscuits produced by Protinex too? I should start from there then ????

Thank you for sharing this very important information about hydrolysed protein Amrita! Really will check out protinex.
Thanks Preethi
My little one is too small for supplements however these look like perfect choices. Grrat detailed post. Thanks
Thanks for reading
I’ve seen Protinex in many supermarkets but never tried it. This article is useful in understanding the product. I would also like to know if it’s lactose free as I am lactose intolerant.
For vegetarians there are limited options of protein-rich foods. I do include sprouts, millets, soya etc as much as I can in our diet but I believe supplements like Protinex are important for complete nutrition.
I had always thought that protein powder is for the body builders..LoL!! This article was a good read and I’m now interested to buy this, especially when they come in chocolate flavour too…!!
I have been taking protein supplements since my pregnancy & Protinex is definitely one of the trusted brands. I was not aware of product Protinex bytes. Looks interesting would try it out soon.
Being a vegetarian, it is tough for me to search for protein in my regular diet. I used protinex during my pregnancy and yes it is the most trusted brand. The protein calculator app seems interesting, will try.
Yes its great for vegetarians and vegans too!
I haven’t really tried protein supplements though my grandfather has been prescribed some for strength. Guess it is as important for us too

I have never focused on how much protein I take in on daily basis or whether I have protein deficiency or not. I don’t even know the best sources of proteins. I will download the app and will check my protein deficiency and will try proteinx if needed.

Love, love, love, Dr.Amrita! This is such an informative article for kids and adults alike. I need to keep a stock of Proteinex in my pantry. Looking forward to your next! 🙂
Have tried the vanilla flavor of Protinex. And it’s yummy.
Protinex seems to be ideal for my family ! I mostly eat vegetarian food. The only non-vegetarian food I take in egg and prawns and very rarely chicken. Both my daughter and wife love non-vegetarian food. But my wife does not like to cook non-vegetarian food because she is a patient of allergy and she hates the smell one gets while making an omelette or cooking chicken or fish. With the result we have non-vegetarian food only when we eat outside. Protinex definitely seems ideal for my family. Will definitely try it.
Indeed there is need to keep checkon the daily requirements of Protein. ProteinX sounds good Supplement of hydrolysed Protein
This is my first time hearing about Protinex and I need to include this in my diet- since I’m thinking about going vegetarian.
I have heard that vegetarians stuggle with protein intake, so I guess this should help!
I haven’t heard of this before and i am intrigues. I want to grab some and try as well.
Never heard of this brand. I recently started to put protein in my smoothies to meet my daily needs and will look into Protinex.
Thats a great way to start the day.
For vegetarians, adequate protein intake becomes challenging. Bit with Proteinex, that problem is solved.
This is really informative.. now can take an informed decision to start on protinex
Now I’m really curious to see if I’m getting enough protein or not. I need to download that calculator and check. Thanks for sharing this info!
I am so glad its available in Chocolate flavour, My son loves to drink hot chocolate so I can give him this Proteinex instead and have peace of mind that he is drinking something healthy,. Thaks for sharing.

As a vegetarian, I know just how important protein is, and how lousy you feel when you don’t have enough! I only consume hydrolysed protein as to not shock my meat-deprived body aha, it really is easy to digest and doesn’t leave you feeling heavy or ill (common for vegetarians taking supplements). Very informative post! 🙂 x
Yes thats why its a great option for vegetarian too!
I had never heard of Protinex before. So informative. I definitely need something for post workouts.
Protein calculator seems so good to find amount of protein required for an individual and protein biscuits seems to be a perfect Snack , will check it 🙂
Yes it is a big help
I don’t think this brand is sold where I live. But it’s worth looking into. I’d love to increase my protein and calcium too. I think this is worth looking into.
I never knew about Hydrolized protein till I read this post. Very informative post. Protinex has been one of the highly trusted brands since years now.
Quite an interesting read – I had protein when I was expecting.
useful informative post thanks for sharing with us
This is something I want aware of – the hydrolysed bit.
He, that’s really interesting i mean i would love to know how much protein i am having in a day and yes i love giving protinex to my son…though i din take it during my pregnancy and so i regret it badly!!!
We need to keep our diets well balanced and rich in the protein of the right kind for best health.
I totally agree! Protein is so important for growing children and adults as well. I will definitely include protinex in my diet to make sure I have ample protein in my diet!
