Protein helps your body maintain and rebuild muscles. Excess protein in the body is filtered by the kidney. If there are high levels of protein to be filtered by the kidney for the long term, this may damage the kidney. Kidney function also deteriorates as a result of aging.

Appeton Wellness 60+ is formulated with specific quantity and quality of protein that meet the needs of an elderly. The protein in Appeton Wellness 60+ is a slow-release protein (casein protein). It supplies a gradual amount of protein to the body without burdening the kidney. It will also help maintain the muscle mass and prevent the breakdown of muscles, without causing a protein spike in the elderly. Since kidney function deteriorates as you age, a lower and slower release of protein content in Appeton Wellness 60+ makes it more kidney-friendly for the elderly.

The PDCAAS rating is a fairly recent evaluation method and been adopted by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations/Would Health Organization (FAO/WHO) in 1993 as “the preferred best” method to determine protein Quality.

* PDCAAS is a method of evaluating the protein quality based on the amino acid requirements of humans.
