What is protein? What is the best protein powder? Protein is essential for building and maintaining muscle, bone strength, and a number of functions in the body. Protein powders are powdered forms of protein that come from plants (soybeans, peas, rice, potatoes, or hemp), eggs or milk (casein or whey protein). Not all protein powders have the same level of protein - Supplements used for building muscle generally contain more protein, and supplements used for weight loss generally contain less.
From the Naturopath: There are two main types of protein, plant based or animal based. My personal preference is the vegan, plant based options
