      Yes in many many different ways…. roughly 45% of us is made up from different proteins!

      So what do they do…?

      Proteins build and repair our tissues and muscles. They are our hormones, enzymes and immune system molecules. They are involved in processes that allow us to contract muscle, transport mutrients, maintain the right levels of water. Proteins can be a sourse of energy for us…. they help us keep healthy nails, hair and skin… quite simply they are cruicial for our survival!
