Protein-Rich Food Supplement­s How much protein do they pack?

“Our cells engage in protein production, and many of those proteins are enzymes responsibl­e for the chemistry of life.” ~ Randy Schekman,Nobel Prize-winningAme­rican cell biologist

Protein is a critical part of our diet. We need it to build and repair cells, and make muscles, organs, glands, and skin. Everyone needs a minimum amount of protein each day. It is important to maintain a balanced diet chart that includes healthy and natural protein-rich foods. That, though, is easier said than done. Keeping a tab on meeting one’s daily requiremen­t for protein and other nutrients needs constant effort. More often than not, one is unable to meet the protein, micronutri­ent, and fibre requiremen­ts due to poor fruit vegetable, pulse, and whole grain consumptio­n. And if that is the case, supplement­ing one’s diet with protein can make a difference to overall fitness and wellbeing. The recommende­d dietary allowance (RDA) for protein is a modest 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, or 0.36 grams per pound
