NIN Guidelines Emphasizing Risks Of Excessive Protein Supplement Intake
The National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) in India has updated guidelines on protein intake, highlighting the risks of excessive protein supplement consumption. The recommended daily allowance (RDA) has been reduced to 0.83g/kg of body weight to prevent kidney damage and bone mineral loss. NIN emphasizes the importance of obtaining protein from natural dietary sources rather than supplements, which often contain added sugars and other undesirable ingredients. The guidelines aim to raise awareness about the health risks associated with protein supplements and promote balanced, natural diets.
