This article aims to provide a detailed insight into how these supplements interact with the body and the multiple benefits they confer.
Understanding Proteins
Proteins are essential macronutrients formed by building blocks called amino acids. Out of 20 amino acids, nine known as ‘essential amino acids’ cannot be produced by the body and need to be obtained from food. The human body prioritises breaking down consumed protein from plant or animal sources into amino acids, which the liver uses to synthesize body-needed proteins.
Essential proteins perform diverse roles:
- Aiding Immunity
- Facilitating Biochemical Reactions
- Transportation of Molecules
- Assisting DNA Synthesis.
