Why is protein important?
Nutrition experts agree that protein is essential for good health. Getting the right amount of protein in your diet provides the building blocks for healthy muscles, bones and tissues so that the body can continue to maintain important body structures and functions.1
Choosing a high quality protein source is key. This is particularly important as you grow older, when your body needs more of this essential nutrient.1
