WHAT IS PROTEIN?

1. Protein is the key building block for the body’s Lean Body Mass (LBM), i.e. all metabolically active tissues (all organs and systems except adipose tissue) that combine to deliver performance

2. Nutritionist Dr Karishma Chawla says, “Maintaining and increasing LBM, is the prerequisite for a fitness enthusiast to improve his/her fitness components especially muscle strength, muscle endurance, flexibility and an ideal body composition.”

3. Protein is required for repair of all tissues that provide strength and structure to the body and form part of the body’s defense and regulatory systems: muscles, bones, connective tissue, skin, hair, immune system, hormones and enzymes
