WHAT IS

PROTEIN Protein is essential to our body composition and health. Proteins are an essential nutrient and can be broken down into 20 building blocks known as amino acids. Out of these 20 amino acids, nine are considered essential as the body cannot synthesize them on its own. As a result, we must obtain these essential amino acids from animal and plant sources. The body can synthesize the other 11 amino acids independently, making them non-essential.
