Market Introduction:

Protein is necessary for the human body to operate correctly. Protein provides strength and aids in the growth and repair of cells. The human body needs different amounts of protein depending on age, gender, weight, and general health. One vital part of a healthy diet is protein. The chemical 'building blocks' of proteins are amino acids. The body uses amino acids to make hormones enzymes, and to grow and repair bones and muscles. Protein helps with weight loss and management, gains muscular leanness, and minimizes muscle loss. Additionally, proteins regulate metabolism, the immune system, and brain activity. Natural protein sources include legumes, chickpeas and beans, animal protein from chicken, and dairy products. There are seven types of protein powder available: whey, egg, soy, rice, hemp, pea, and mixed protein. An alternative to natural sources is the consumption of a protein supplement. It can be consumed as a powder, bar, or protein smoothie. There are plant- and animal-based protein supplements. Protein supplements are equally efficient in promoting muscle growth, hormone and enzyme production, and tissue healing.
