Protein requirements in women: Why it increases during the menopause

and how plant-based protein provides you with optimal support

Many women know the feeling: you pay attention to your diet, eat “healthy” – and yet something is often missing. Protein. Yet protein is one of the most important building blocks for our health – and women in particular often eat too little of it in everyday life.

Why we women need enough protein every day

Protein is not just for sportswomen or “fitness women”. Our body needs it every day for basic functions such as:

  • Strong, healthy muscles

  • Beautiful, firm skin (collagen consists of amino acids!)

  • Stable energy and fewer cravings

  • A healthy hormone balance

  • A strong immune system

And here’s the thing: women’s protein requirements increase with age – especially during the menopause.

Why does the need for protein increase during the menopause?

During the menopause, oestrogen levels fall. This has clear effects:

  1. Muscle loss accelerates
    Less oestrogen means that your body loses muscle mass faster. Protein helps to slow this down – and keep your metabolism active at the same time.

  2. The body builds up less collagen
    The skin changes, becomes drier and less elastic. Sufficient protein is the basis for the body’s own collagen formation.

  3. The metabolism needs more support
    Protein keeps you full for longer, stabilizes blood sugar and reduces the typical energy rollercoaster that many women experience during this phase.

  4. Hormones need amino acids
    Hormones consist of proteins or require them for their construction. Without enough protein, the system is more easily thrown out of balance.

In short:
During the menopause, protein becomes a real game changer for well-being, figure, energy and hormone health.

Why plant-based protein – and why vegan protein powder from dōTERRA?

Many women do not tolerate animal proteins such as whey well: bloating, discomfort, sluggishness. Plant-based protein, on the other hand, has a gentler effect, is easier to digest and supports a natural, mindful lifestyle.

The vegan protein powder from dōTERRA is something special:

1. high quality plant sources

It combines various plant proteins to create a complete amino acid profile – perfect for optimally supplying muscles and hormones.

2. gentle on digestion

No artificial additives, no “heavy” ingredients – ideal for women who are sensitive or prefer clean eating.

3. without ballast, without compromise

Pure, vegan, well tolerated. Perfect for a natural lifestyle, whether you are looking after your figure, need energy or want to strengthen your skin and hair.

4. ideal for stressful everyday phases

Especially when things get hectic, we often forget to look after ourselves. A quick protein shake in the morning or between meals helps to close nutritional gaps and avoid cravings.

Protein is self-care – from the inside

Whether in active phases of life, in stressful everyday life or if you simply want to look after yourself more consciously:
Sufficient protein is a form of self-care.

It gives you:

✨ More energy
✨ More well-being
✨ Better regeneration
✨ Firmer skin
✨ A stronger body feeling

And above all: the good feeling of lovingly supporting yourself.
