As we’re always told, protein is super important for a healthy body. Our bodies need protein, and the amino acids that protein contains, to build, repair and regenerate our muscles. Protein is especially important for those who exercise, as it helps to repair the tiny tears in our muscles that occur when we’re getting those gains at the gym.
