Abstract

Athletes and members of commercial gyms and other physically active people take supplements to increase muscle mass, boost strength to stave off future illnesses and enhance athletic performance. Protein supplements are concentrated forms of high-protein foods that are used in bodybuilding and as dietary supplements to meet protein requirements in a lean body. 47% of Indians take protein supplements in powder form. Each person's daily protein requirement is different, depending on their body mass. Adults who are healthy and sedentary typically require 0.8 grams of protein. In comparison, individuals who strive to gain muscle mass through intense exercise require 1.4 to 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. Protein powders available in the market include plants (such as soybeans, peas, rice, potatoes, or hemp), eggs, milk, whey protein, vitamins, minerals, artificial flavours, thickeners, and added sugar. There are certain drawbacks to recent market protein powder in addition to its benefits. Recent market protein powder shows upset stomach, which can lead to unhealthy weight gain, kidney problems, hormone imbalances, liver damage, etc. Due to their widespread availability and relative affordability as compared to ingredients derived from animals, plant protein supplements are frequently used. Therefore, it is necessary to produce a plant-based, Ayurvedic Vegan Nutrimix Powder with minimal side effects and increased nutritional content to counteract the adverse effects of commercial protein powders. According to the Charak Samhita, medicinal plant sources such as chanak, mung, mash, shatavari, bala, ashwangandha, vidari, and kushmanda have qualities like rasayana, balya and bruhan. These ingredients help in building musculature, increase immunity and maintain overall health. The aim of this study is to prepare ayurvedi vegan nutrimix powder that is not only free from sugar, glutein and cholesterol but also act as an immunity Booster and is effective in healthy weight gain and muscle building.
