Are your energy levels low? Feel like you're making no progress  with your exercise program? Craving sugar and snack foods? More protein could be the answer.
Protein Facts
Proteins are formed from about 20 different types of amino acid but for humans, eight essential amino acids cannot be made by the body, and so they must be obtained from the diet.
Essential amino acids are found in meat, fish, eggs, poultry, dairy and soy products. Whey and soy protein powders are also optimum sources of essential amino acids.
Protein is the vital ingredient that skin, bone, and muscle cells need every day for repair, growth, and recovery. It is also required for good digestion, optimum hormone levels, and for enhanced immunity.

Immunity: Protein helps to nourish the immune system.Detox: Protein amino acids make glutathione, the body’s most powerful detoxifier.Mood regulation: Protein helps to regulate brain serotonin levels which help to balance mood.
