the Benefits of Protein

Every day, our bodies need a variety of nutrients, including protein, to function at our best. In the morning, afternoon, and even at night, protein benefits us in a variety of ways.

Benefit 1

Protein is known to be one of the most satiating¹ nutrients, and is associated with feelings of fullness.

Benefit 2

High-quality proteins, like milk protein, can help promote weight maintenance and blood glucose control.²

Benefit 3

Proteins are indispensable in helping support and maintain muscle structure and growth.
