Because they’re made from dairy, Oikos products serve up complete protein, packing all 9 essential amino acids you need. (What’s “essential”? It means you can’t make them on your own and have to get them from your diet.) Here’s the milk protein 411:
Protein is one of the most satiating
nutrients. And yogurt that’s a good
source of protein is a delicious way to
get it.
Protein, along with calcium and vitamin
D, can help support strong bones. And
Oikos is a good source of all three.
Proteins, including the milk proteins
found in Oikos, are key when it comes to
helping support and maintain muscles.
Amino acids are the building blocks
your body uses to make its own
protein — and some of them can only
come through a healthy diet. Milk
protein delivers all 9 of the essential
amino acids that your body can’t
make on its own.
High quality milk protein can help
promote weight maintenance and
healthy blood glucose management. So
spooning up and shaping up make a
great pair.
It’s all about a one-two punch.
Milk protein (the kind in Oikos)
is actually TWO types of
protein: whey and casein.
About 20% of the protein in
milk is whey, and about 80% is casein.
Whey gets digested by the body quickly
and casein gets digested slowly.
