Protein
Protein is a significant macronutrient our bodies need, influencing our muscle health, immune system health, gut integrity, longevity and more.
Protein supplements deliver different protein levels and sources. Whey protein concentrate is the most common formula. Whey isolate undergoes more processing, resulting in higher protein content with fewer carbs, lactose and fat.
Protein powder

Many plant proteins lack one or more essential amino acids. But some plant proteins, including pea protein isolate and brown rice, stand out for their higher leucine content.
Muscle mass gradually decreases with age, a process called sarcopenia. Sarcopenia develops around the fourth or fifth decade of life, and can be worse due to chronic illness, inactivity, or inadequate protein and calorie intake.
