Quotes from World Bio Marketin Sights, January 3, 2024
According to a recent study, it has been discovered that two types of algae, which are commonly found in various commercial products, contain a high amount of protein and have the ability to promote muscle growth in young and healthy adults. Based on the findings, it has been suggested that algae has the potential to serve as a viable and eco-friendly substitute for animal-based protein in terms of muscle maintenance and development.
It is widely recognized that protein sources derived from animals have been shown to effectively stimulate muscle protein synthesis, both during periods of rest and following exercise.
However, due to concerns surrounding the ethical implications and environmental consequences associated with animal protein production, researchers have been exploring alternative options, one of which includes plant-based alternatives like algae.
Researcher Ino Van Der Heijden from the University of Exeter said: “Our work has shown algae could become part of a secure and sustainable food future. With more and more people trying to eat less meat because of ethical and environmental reasons, there is growing interest in nonanimal-derived and sustainably produced protein. We believe it’s important and necessary to start looking into these alternatives and we’ve identified algae as a promising novel protein source.”
