Hi, protein is one of the macro-nutrient that is not taken enough by the Indian population. Apart from micro nutrients our diet lacks in protein too. There is a need to full fill the gap of protein. So, it is recommended to take a protein supplement with caution as excess usage may cause problems. Coming to Nestle Resource High Protein, you can add about 1 serving per day which is approx. 25gm of protein powder in 200 ml of milk/ water which ever you prefer. It gives about 11gm of protein which will be around 15% of your recommended daily allowance. Excess intake of protein powder might end up in other issue such as diarrhoea and constant use may arise kidney related issues. So, its better to stick with 1 portion of serving per day. Excess usage of protein supplement may be recommended in medical situations such as recovering from burns injury, malnutrition, trauma etc. It is even recommended for strength/endurance training athletes as RDA varies for them.

Hi, Most of the Indians are does not meet the RDA of Protein. Through Including animal source of protein we can meet our RDA easily, But most of the Indian non veg foods are high in saturated fats. And after the consumption of these non veg if you follow the sedentary life, It will increase your cholesterol. Due to these issues most of the indians are avoiding the nonveg and they are low on RDA of protein. Protein is an essential nutrient and the deficiency will leads to complications. If somebody facing these kind of situation they can meet there RDA through taking these kind of supplements. Mix the 3 levelled scoop (Approx 25gm) of Resource high protein powder in one glass boiled water/Milk. If possible do regular exercise and consume the natural protein source.

Hello lybrate-user, It is best to take commercial protein resources when you feel that your diet is deficient of normal amount of protein which your body requires. Firstly, if you do not have any kind of protein abnormalities in your body (ie, deficiency and/or hyper and/or hypo reaction) then you should get your albumin levels checked. Secondly, to start with (not necessarily nestle but all kind of protein supplement powders available in market) start with a minimal dose. Let your body get adapted with it. And then slowly and steadily increase the intake as per your requirement. Thank you, have a nice day! Take care, I hope this will be helpful to you.
