Individuals need protein in order to build, repair, and maintain their body, including their skin, muscles, organs, and blood. Protein also assists in hormonal balance, as it ensures the body functions optimally. Individuals are protected from disease and virus when their body functions well in all of these areas. Protein is a great way to stay fuller for longer and gives individuals energy and brain power.

While individuals typically won't experience harmful effects due to protein supplements, they are actually not necessary for proper function, and it is possible for individuals to get the body they desire without them. The reality is these supplements don't provide individuals with more fiber than an apple or more brain power than an egg. It’s also a lazy way to get protein, often with unnecessary fillers. Eating natural foods with protein will always be a better way to go than a protein supplement.
