Protein is one of the 3 essential macronutrients that make up all the food we consume (carbohydrates and fats being the other 2). Protein is found in every cell of the human body and is required for building, repairing, and creating new cells. It is the main structural component of bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, blood, hair, fingernails, serum albumin, keratin, and collagen. All enzymes in our body are composed of proteins making this macronutrient essential for thousands of chemical reactions in the body.

How to Use Protein Powder

Protein powder is a very versatile product. You can simply add it to smoothies, stir it into yogurt or oatmeal, or use it in baking to get your boost of nutrition. So pretty much, anytime throughout the day is a good time for protein. However, many fitness experts recommend a protein shake within 30-60 minutes after your workout to refuel and rebuild muscles.
