Why do I need protein?

Protein is an important nutrient needed by the body on a daily basis. It is made up of essential and non-essential amino acids, which are the "building blocks" for healthy bodies. Protein has a number of different roles including: 

• Repair body cells 
  
• Build and repair muscles and bones 
  
• Provide a source of energy 
  
• Control many of the important processes in the body related to metabolism

Whilst protein intake should ideally come from a wide range of food sources, if you seek highly absorbable, high quality protein, with a low calorific count, protein powder supplements are the perfect choice to supplement your diet.
