Proteins Shake help you to build up muscle mass and are used in low carb diets or for recovery after exercise.

Proteins, also called protein, are among the most important nutrients in our diet, along with carbohydrates and fats. They are made up of chains of amino acids and perform many functions in our body. Proteins help, for example, to build new cells, to strengthen the immune system, to contract muscles, to build and maintain muscle mass, to store iron, to transport oxygen or fat, and they enable and accelerate chemical reactions in the body. Protein deficiencies can limit physical and mental performance, lead to muscle breakdown and oedema, and weaken the immune system, making you more susceptible to infectious disease such as the common cold. However, if you eat too much protein, it can put a strain on your liver and kidneys. Meat, fish and dairy products contain a lot of protein. Nuts, peas and beans are also particularly rich in protein. The daily requirement depends on many factors, but pregnant and breastfeeding women as well as children and adolescents should consume a little more protein.
