What is Protein?

Protein is a macronutrient that is essential to building muscle mass. It is commonly found in animal products, though is also present in other sources, such as nuts and legumes. 

Chemically, protein is composed of amino acids, which are organic compounds made of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen or sulphur. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and proteins are the building blocks of muscle mass, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). 

Source of Protein (Natural and through Supplements)

All food made from meat, poultry, seafood, beans and peas, eggs, processed soy products, nuts and seeds are considered part of the protein group, according to the USDA. Besides animal sources, there are several alternative sources of protein, including soy, hemp and whey.

Importance of Protein

Humans can’t survive without all nine essential amino acids. Protein is essential to building bones, and body tissues, such as muscles, but protein does much more than that. Protein participates in practically every process of a cell. It plays a part in metabolic reactions, immune response; protein provides a source of energy, assists in cellular repair, form blood cells, and more.

How much protein do you need?

Protein provides the same energy density as carbohydrates. However, the body does not store proteins in the same way it stores carbohydrates and fats. This means that you need to consume protein every day. There are differing opinions about just how much protein you need each day, however. This is due in part to the number of things that affect how much protein your body needs.

Are Protein Supplements actually safe to use?

In addition to protein, these powders often contain potentially harmful chemicals, and some are even contaminated with toxins and metals. How could that be? Under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, no dietary supplements, including protein powders, are regulated by the FDA to make sure they are safe or effective. There is also no requirement that supplements be tested to make sure they contain what the labels say they contain. Research has shown that many dietary supplements sold in major drug store chains, natural food stores, and respected online outlets do not contain what they are supposed to or contain ingredients not listed on the label.

Protein powders often contain hidden ingredients and dangerous contaminants. If you are going to use a protein supplement, remember that these are largely unregulated products. If you experience any unusual side effects, stop using the product immediately and consult with your physician.
