PROTEINS: THE BUILDING BLOCKS
Next to water, which makes up 60 to 70% of our body, protein is the most abundant substance in our bodies at 20%. Protein is a nutrient made up of amino acids. There are two types of amino acids. Non-essential Amino Acids can usually be synthesized by a healthy body from the foods that we eat each day. The Essential Amino Acids however, must be obtained through the daily diet.
Protein has a number of important roles in the body, including:
 |
Repair of body cells. |
 |
Build and repair muscles, tissue, bones, hair etc. |
 |
Provide a source of energy. |
 |
Regulate many important metabolic processes in the body. |
A healthy adult body requires 1g of protein per kg of its bodyweight. |
Growing children, People recovering from illness or surgery, Pregnant and lactating women, Athletes, Body builders, Active Sports persons require relatively higher amount of proteins.

Need for Protein Supplementation
This is why although a healthy adult body requires just one gram of protein per kilogram of its ideal body weight, people recovering from illness, burns, injury or surgery, athletes & sports persons, children in growth phase, as well as pregnant, lactating and menopausal women need to supplement their protein intake. Senior citizens, diabetics, cardiac patients and patients undergoing cancer treatment also respond very well to protein supplements as part of their daily diets.
