Extended data:

Protein powder is a kind of nutritional complementary food for specific people. There are many kinds of protein, and protein from different food sources can be digested, absorbed and utilized by the human body to varying degrees.

Different kinds of protein have different nutritional values, and the main factors that determine the nutritional value of protein are the types and contents of essential amino acids in protein. Amino acid score is a common index to evaluate the types and contents of essential amino acids in protein.

For the special population in need, apart from supplementing essential amino acids through food, protein powder can be appropriately selected as the supplement of protein, but we must pay attention to the dosage of protein powder. After protein is digested and absorbed by gastrointestinal tract, it needs to be processed by liver and converted into human substances for human use.
