Best Protein Shakes for Women
Basics P3 as a nutritional supplement

| 100% RDA of protein, vitamins, and minerals |

Research data (provided by AJCN ) suggests that 20% of healthy adolescent and adult women do not get the recommended 70-80 grams of quality protein per day.1
1 10% of adolescent females and of older adult women reported consuming protein levels below their estimated average requirement. Given the demonstrated benefits of higher protein intake on weight management, sarcopenia, and other physiologic functions, efforts should be undertaken to ensure that Americans consume the recommended amount of protein.

Although most age/sex groups appear to consume more protein than the respective EAR, a significant percentage of adolescent females and older women appeared to have inadequate protein intake.
MyPyramid food patterns have been estimated to provide a protein intake ranging from 17% to 21% of calories (5), but very few Americans are consuming this amount of protein. Given the positive benefits of higher protein intake on satiety and other physiologic functions, efforts should be undertaken to help Americans consume the recommended amounts of protein.
Furthermore, given the prevalence of being overweight or obese in America and the role protein may play in managing body weight, it makes sense to consider increasing protein intake recommendations even further, to 25–30% of calories, a level that is still within the AMDR. Virtually none of the population approaches the highest AMDR for protein of 35% of calories.
