Protein Powder Guide
Protein is critical for building muscles, but protein powders come with risks manufacturers would prefer you didn't know about. Heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic are found in many protein powders.
Why is this important? Exposure to lead, for instance, can affect cognitive function and kidney health. Mercury and cadmium can harm our nervous system, and arsenic is carcinogenic. For those focused on longevity and looking good in the later decades of life, reducing exposure to these is critical.
What should you do? Prioritize consuming protein from natural sources like meat, chicken, and fish. If you want a convenient source of protein, choose powders free of harmful substances. Here are the recommended powders:
- The best powder I've found (not shipped to Israel yet—requires a friend in Europe).
- Organic grass-fed whey protein powder.
- If someone can bring you a shipment from the U.S. or you're willing to pay for services like ushops, this is an excellent option.
