5 Reasons Why Women Over
30 Need More Protein (and how to hit your daily goal)

Most women don't get enough protein. And this is especially true for women over 30. As women age, their bodies go through major changes—hormonal shifts, muscle loss, and a slowing metabolism can make it harder to stay strong, look toned, and feel energized.
That’s where high-quality protein comes in.

1.You Start Losing Muscle at 30 —Here’s How to Stop It

Did you know that after 30, you can lose up to 8-10% of your muscle mass each decade? The truth is, muscle isn’t just about looking toned—it keeps your metabolism running, supports bone health, and maintains long-term strength.

Whey protein is one of the most effective ways to support lean muscle, delivering all essential amino acids—especially leucine, a key driver of muscle growth and repair.* 
mindbodygreen grass-fed whey protein isolate+ offers 25g of highly bioavailable protein per serving, supplying the full spectrum of essential amino acids to build and maintain lean muscle.*

2. Women Are Not Eating

Enough Protein—And It’s Catching Up to Them

Experts recommend at least 100g of protein per day, but most women fall short without even realizing it. This gap doesn’t just affect muscle—it slows metabolism, weakens immunity, and leads to fatigue over time. Without enough protein, your body struggles to recover, stay strong, and keep up with daily life.

3. Plant Protein Isn’t Cutting It

Most plant-based proteins simply don’t cut it. To effectively build muscle, your body needs at least 2.5 grams of leucine per serving to trigger muscle protein synthesis (MPS)—the process that helps you gain strength and lean muscle. The problem? It’s nearly impossible for plant proteins to hit this threshold, meaning you’re paying for protein that won’t get the job done.
mindbodygreen’s grass-fed whey protein isolate+ delivers 2.5 grams of leucine per serving—enough to fuel MPS, support recovery, and help you build lean muscle, strength, and endurance.* Plus, our whey comes from grass-fed cows, ensuring a cleaner, more nutrient-rich protein source without unnecessary fillers or additives.

4. A Protein Powder That Feels Like a Treat Without the Guilt

Who says protein can’t be a little indulgent? We made sure every sip is as satisfying as it is nourishing—smooth, delicious, and free from anything artificial.
With just six simple ingredients and 3g of sugar, mindbodygreen’s grass-fed whey protein isolate+ delivers 25g of clean, high-quality protein—without fillers, artificial sweeteners, or that chalky aftertaste.
Vanilla: Lightly sweet and perfectly spiced—like a vanilla chai with a hint of cinnamon.
Chocolate: Rich, fudgy, and deeply satisfying—like a chocolate brownie with a touch of cinnamon.
It’s everything you love about a sweet treat—without the sugar crash. Just clean, bioavailable protein to fuel your body, support lean muscle, and keep you feeling your best.
