Insufficient amounts of protein puts those 50 and above at risk of malnutrition and low muscle mass, making them prone to injury and falls.

 

Oatside now offers Oatside Protein, which contains 20g of plant-based protein with just 2g of fat and no added cane sugar. For reference, three eggs contain 20g of protein and 15g of fat. Oatside Protein gets its protein source from sprouted non-GMO pea protein, which are proteins water-extracted from peas after sprouting, without the use of harsh processing methods such as acid hydrolysis. The sprouting process makes the proteins more digestible and bioavailable.

Oatside Protein provides complete protein with all nine essential amino acids and more than 3,000mg Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA). Studies have also suggested that a diet based primarily on plant protein does not link to increased health risks like obesity, cardiovascular disease and certain cancers associated with a diet high in animal protein.

According to HealthHub Singapore, those aged 50 and above are recommended to take a daily protein intake at 1.2g/kg bodyweight. Insufficient amounts of protein puts them at risk of malnutrition and low muscle mass, making them prone to injury and falls.

 

Oatside Protein is available in vanilla and chocolate in 250ml. Each is retailing for S$2.75 and can be found at leading supermarkets and convenience stores like NTUC FairPrice, Cold Storafe, Giant, Sheng Siong, 7-Eleven and Cheers. It is also available online through Redmart, Shopee, PandaMart and Oatside’s TikTok shop.
