Restricting animal protein during most of adult life to maintain a relatively low IGF-1 is an important objective for people who desire superior health and life extension. For most adults, keeping IGF-1 levels below 175 ng/mL is likely important, with less than 150 ng/mL being even more protective. However, serum IGF-1 levels less than 80 ng/mL are likely detrimental, especially after the age of 75. Older adults require adequate protein intake (such as a pea and hemp protein powder and/or a small amount of animal products) coupled with strengthening exercises to counteract the muscle loss and prevent functional decline and falls. [2020] - Joel Fuhrman

Choose high-protein foods from a variety of animal (poultry, meat, fish, eggs, and dairy) and/or plant (seeds, nuts, legumes) sources to both reach your intake target and ensure a balanced ratio of amino acids, which will satisfy the protein appetite most effectively. If you are vegetarian, which is no bad thing, you will need to make greater efforts to eat a variety of foods, given that single plant proteins tend to be less well balanced in their amino acid content than many animal-derived proteins. [2020] - David Raubenheimer
