Power Up with Protein: Essential Amino Acids for Your Body
Protein is a big deal for your body. It helps repair muscles, gives you energy and keeps you full longer.

Protein also provides essential amino acids, which are the building blocks your body needs to function properly.
Including protein in a healthy diet is essential for overall well-being. It supports immune function, cell structure, hormone synthesis, and helps you feel full and satisfied, which supports a healthy body weight.
