Whey-based and animal-based protein powders trigger the pro-aging pathway IGF-1, which is why regular consumption of excess protein (most especially from animal sources) can accelerate the aging process and increase the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases. L-Protein uses a precise formulation of plant-based proteins and essential vitamins and minerals to strike the optimal balance between protein intake with lower IGF1 levels, supporting longevity and muscle health without accelerating aging.
