proteinový

Proteinový is a Czech adjective formed from the noun protein with the suffix -ový. It describes things related to proteins or possessing a high protein content. In formal biology, the standard term for the macromolecule is bílkovina, but in everyday language and consumer contexts the word protein and the adjective proteinový are common, especially on product labels and in nutrition discussions.

Common uses include proteinový prášek (protein powder), proteinový šejk (protein shake), proteinový obsah (protein content), proteinová dieta (high-protein diet), proteinové doplňky (protein supplements), and proteinový izolát (protein isolate). In labeling, terms like proteinový obsah indicate the amount of protein per serving. The adjective tends to appear in non-scientific contexts, marketing, and dietary guidance rather than in strict biochemistry.

From a nutritional perspective, products described as proteinový aim to provide or emphasize protein; nutrition guidelines focus on total protein intake and the quality of amino acid profiles. Adequate protein supports muscle maintenance, satiety, and various metabolic functions. Plant-based proteinové sources can meet essential amino acid needs, though combinations may be needed to achieve a complete profile. Overall, proteinový functions as a descriptive term rather than a precise scientific category.
