Everybody should take protein in order to maintain their health. It helps to repair any internal or external damage, supports the immune system and contributes to an overall feeling of well-being.

WHY DO YOU EXACTLY NEED PROTEIN? Exercise triggers the breakdown of muscle protein. The rate at which this happens depends on the exercise and your level of training, but even well-traine...
