Here are the fitness facts:
✅ Proteins are made up of amino acids; there are 9 essential amino acids that the body cannot make and therefore need to be consumed

✅ Resulting in reduced muscles soreness and increased muscles growth (with exercise)
✅ Protein also helps keep you fuller for longer (win-win)
The more you exercise, the more protein you need. Simple!
