======================== What is Performance Protein Powder? ======================== Performance Protein Powder is an ideal way to maximise your daily protein intake. =========== What is protein? =========== Protein, more specifically the building blocks of protein called ‘amino acids’, is an essential component of virtually every cell in the body. The cells of the immune system, skin, hair and muscle all depend on protein for proper functioning and growth. =================== Why a 100% Protein Powder? =================== All too often many dieters cut back on protein in an effort to trim calories and lose weight. This can lead to deficiencies that are not only detrimental to health, but can also trigger nutritional imbalances in your body that can actually slow your weight reduction and eventually lead to weight gain. This is commonly referred to as ‘yo-yoing’. To get out of the vicious ‘yo-yo’ cycle, you need to feed your body the proper balance of nutrients, one of the most important being protein. ==================== Why should I consume protein? ==================== Proteins are vital to any living organism. They are important constituents of the tissues and cells of the body, and also of vital body fluids like blood. Proteins, in the form of enzymes and hormones, are essential to a wide range of vital metabolic processes in the body. Protein supplies body building material, helping to rebuild and repair the muscle damage caused by wear and tear from exercise. Proteins, as antibodies, help the body to defend against infection. As protein is not stored in the body, daily protein intake should match daily protein metabolism to satisfy daily protein requirement.
