PROTEIN OVERVIEW
There is no denying that protein
is a vitally important nutrient for general health and hundreds of specific functions in the
body. There's an old saying in nutrition research, that the body contains no "extra" protein -
which is meant to convey the idea that every single protein in the body was assembled to carry
out a specific function - there is no storage form of protein in the body. The recommended
dietary allowance (RDA) for protein is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight for adults (0.36
grams per pound) - with growing kids, adolescents and both power and endurance needing slightly
more (see below). A 70 kg adult (154 lbs) would need about 56 grams per day (about the amount
provided in 8 ounces of lean meat).

- Increases strength
- Controls appetite
- Aids weight loss

Protein is one of the primary
nutrients involved in growth, development and repair of virtually all tissues in the body.
Through protein-based molecules called enzymes, protein plays a vital role in regulating many of
the metabolic processes in the body.
PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTS
Protein Supplements have been used
by athletes to maintain and increase lean muscle mass. Supplement formulas differ depending on
the goals of the sportsperson which can include weight gain, fat burning or improved stamina.
Protein Supplements can be a convenient way to increase daily protein intake when protein from
dietary sources is inadequate.
