Protein isn’t just for bodybuilders. Protein for ageing adults is one of the most important nutrients for staying strong, mobile, and independent after 50. Here’s why most older adults don’t get enough, and how ProTEGO™ makes getting the right nutrition simple, delicious, and sustainable.
The Ageing Body Needs More Protein. Period.
As we grow older, our bodies naturally start losing muscle mass. And it happens earlier than most people think.
According to HealthHub Singapore, muscle loss can begin as early as 40 and speeds up after 50. This decline, known as sarcopenia, leads to:
Weak legs and poor balance
Slower recovery after illness or injury
Fatigue and low energy
Higher risk of falls
One major cause of these issues is low protein intake.
While calcium often gets the spotlight when it comes to healthy ageing, protein is just as essential.
Why Protein for Ageing Adults Is About More Than Just Muscle
Yes, protein builds muscle. But that’s only part of the story.
For older adults, protein supports:
Mental clarity and focus
Blood sugar control
Joint health and mobility
Faster healing after illness or surgery
Feeling full longer so you snack less
According to Stanford's Longevity Centre, older adults should consume 1.2 to 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight each day. That’s significantly more than the recommended amount for younger adults.
That’s why getting the right protein for ageing adults matters more than ever, especially when traditional diets fall short.
ProTEGO™: A Smarter Staple for Healthier Ageing
Enter ProTEGO™, the plant-based, high-protein noodle created to make healthy ageing easier and tastier.
It’s made by the same people behind W0W® Barley Fresh, but this time it packs even more power into every bite. ProTEGO™ is designed to meet the needs of adults who want food that supports their body and their lifestyle.
Let’s compare.

13 grams of gut-friendly fiber

No preservatives or artificial nonsense
Whether you're recovering from an illness, trying to maintain muscle, or just looking for better energy throughout the day, this noodle works for you.
Why Most Adults Aren’t Getting Enough Protein
Here’s the tough truth. Most adults over 50 don’t realize how much protein they actually need. Even when they try to eat “healthy,” they often miss the mark.
According to Harvard Health, it’s not uncommon for older adults to experience symptoms of low protein without realizing it. This includes fatigue, weakness, and slow healing.
Common reasons why protein intake drops with age:
Smaller meal portions
Avoiding meat or animal products
Lack of knowledge about protein needs
Belief that “protein is only for gym bros”
ProTEGO™ helps fill that gap without changing your lifestyle. You still get to enjoy the dishes you love, just with a healthier base.
Taste, Texture, and Total Satisfaction
Worried about taste? Don’t be. ProTEGO™ delivers the comforting chew of traditional noodles with none of the regret.

Better yet, it’s family-friendly. You don’t need to make a separate meal for the seniors in your life. Everyone can enjoy it together.
