Efficacy of protein powder

Protein is the most important nutrient to ensure good health. This is necessary to maintain and repair the growth of the body and cells. It not only affects the growth of muscle and other body tissues, but also participates in the production of hormones, the maintenance of immune function, the transportation of other nutrients and oxygen, the production of hemoglobin and blood coagulation. The daily protein required by ordinary mental workers is 0.8- 1.0g per kilogram of body weight, while the demand of athletes and bodybuilders engaged in high intensity is 2-3 times that of them.

Because high-intensity exercise damages muscle cells to varying degrees, causing the decomposition of muscle protein, timely supplementation of protein can reduce the destruction of muscle tissue, promote the synthesis of protein, and even recover excessively, thus increasing muscle and improving strength. The traditional way of supplementing protein by eating meat often leads to excessive fat intake, which leads to the increase of body fat and even affects cardiovascular health.
