Proteins are the main building blocks for life. Proteins help create organs, skin, tendons, hormones, muscles, enzymes, and the human body requires it for a host of other functions.
Quality Animal Proteins provide all the essential amino acids, typically in the correct ratios for your body. If you do not eat animal protein, getting the correct amount of protein with essential amino acids your body needs, can be challenging.
The body needs protein to work the way it should and stay healthy. Over 10,000 types of Proteins can be found throughout our muscles, bones, hair skin organs and tissues.
The DRI (Dietary Reference Intake) recommendation for 2021 is 0.36 grams of protein per pound of body weight.
