You won't find many people with a bad word to say about protein. “It’s the building block of muscles, skin and enzymes that keep your body functioning,” says Uta Boellinger, a BANT-registered nutritional therapist. “Beyond muscle repair, it supports immune health, balances blood sugar and keeps you fuller for longer, making it key for energy, recovery and overall wellbeing.”
