Abbott, a multi-national medical devices and health care company, recently unveiled its latest product, Protality, a high-protein nutritional shake. This marks the first product of its kind from Abbott, designed to assist adults interested in losing weight while still preserving muscle mass and ensuring proper nutrition.
According to Hakim Bouzamondo, division vice president of Nutrition Research and Development at Abbott, it's crucial for adults embarking on weight loss journeys to prioritise good nutrition so that they don't compromise their muscle mass while on a restricted calorie diet. Bouzamondo added, "We've been studying muscle health and nutrition for several decades at Abbott. We acknowledge that losing weight can be challenging, which is why we've launched the Protality brand. It provides nutritional products rich in high-quality protein and nutrients to support muscle health."
Research indicates that adults trying to lose weight while preserving muscle mass might need to consume at least 50% more protein than the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA). It's also worth noting that a high protein diet can aid in long-term weight loss maintenance.
