FAQ

Protein is "protein." Proteins are made up of amino acids. Many different types of amino acids play a role in building the human body and maintaining its health.

It is necessary. Protein is one of the five major nutrients.
After water, the main component that makes up the human body is protein. Muscles, hair, nails, skin, bones, internal organs, and even blood all exist and function because of protein. The currently popular enzymes, the immune system that protects the human body, and hormones are also made up of protein.

Eating protein helps build the muscle your body needs.
This muscle increases your metabolism and creates a body that is less likely to gain weight.
In addition, by taking in protein, your hair, nails, skin, and other parts of your body that are made up of protein, will become shinier and more energetic.

Although plant-based proteins, which are relatively low in fat, can lead to weight gain, they are unlikely to lead to obesity.
Taking protein builds muscle and may cause temporary weight gain, but it is said that after that, the muscle will burn fat and the body will become toned over time.

Plant proteins are also found in soybeans, peas, rice, hemp seeds, etc. Representative animal protein sources include whey, the clear part of yogurt and cheese, and casein, which is also a by-product of dairy products.

The main advantage of plant-based proteins is that they contain less fat than animal-based proteins.
If your goal is not to build muscle and bulk up, but rather to be healthy, beautiful, and have a supple, toned body, we recommend choosing plant-based protein.

The best time to take protein is after exercise.
However, plant-based proteins like GRØN are low in fat, so we recommend eating them first thing in the morning, as a snack, or an hour before going to bed.

Reference article: When to take protein ~ Nutritionist's Column Vol.5

The recommended amount of protein needed per day is 40g for a 40kg person and 50g for a 50kg person.
To put it simply, the recommended intake is 1 to 1.2 times your body weight converted from kg to g (1.5 times for those who exercise).
Regardless of age, from babies to the elderly, the required intake of protein remains the same.

It is said that the skin turnover takes 28 days for women in their 20s, or generally speaking, one's age x (1.5 to 2 days), and it takes about two months for changes to occur in the muscles and body.
If possible, we recommend that you continue doing this little by little while moving your body.

Too much of anything is not good for your body.
First, take a look at your diet and lifestyle.
If you normally eat a lot of meat, fish, beans, etc., taking in additional protein may be too much.
Also, it is more important to take in appropriate amounts on a continuous basis than to take in a lot all at once.
Since protein is absorbed into the body through exercise, it is recommended to take it after exercising as much as possible.

GRØN's protein is simple, yet unique in that it provides nutrients other than protein.
This is a convenient, economical protein powder that not only provides protein, but also vitamins and minerals that modern people tend to lack, phytochemicals such as polyphenols and cartenoids, dietary fiber, and more, all at once.

If you want to make it even easier, we recommend mixing it with a nutritious drink such as almond milk, soy milk, or cow's milk.

You can enjoy it according to your mood or the nutrients you want to take in other than protein.

GRØN products are not organic.
Some of the ingredients used are organic, but others are not.
We carefully select our raw materials based on our own criteria, and we make an effort to meet with producers as much as possible and check the production situation before purchasing them.

We source from trusted producers and select ingredients that are called superfoods because they are extremely nutritious. Highly nutritious ingredients made by trusted producers are the criteria for selecting raw materials for GRØN products.

GRØN's products range from substandard products that are not available on the market to products with perfect shapes. We believe that all products that come from the same field have the same value. For that reason, we make it a priority to purchase and sell all products grown in the field at the same price, regardless of color or shape.

Although we are considering developing derivative products using powder, we place great importance on creating products that are based on powder.
GRØN wanted to deliver valuable agricultural products, whole and in their entirety, to the lives of people living in the modern world at any time and with ease, and this led them to create a long-lasting, easy-to-drink powder.
We saw the future in being able to connect with producers using modern technology to turn ingredients that are normally difficult to eat due to their unique flavors or transportation issues into powder form.

The definition of a superfood is a food that is more nutritious than ordinary foods, or a food that contains exceptionally high amounts of a certain nutritional or health component.
We believe that superfoods include colorful agricultural products that are rich in phytochemicals and have strong antioxidant properties, such as green chlorophyll, purple anthocyanins, orange beta-carotene, and white isoflavones, as well as fermented foods that are rich in enzymes and lactic acid bacteria.

We use what is called brown sugar, which is not completely refined, such as cane sugar and beet sugar. It is squeezed at high temperature, so it is safe for children to eat.
