Protein powder is a dietary supplement that is used to increase the amount of protein in a person’s diet. It is typically made from various sources, such as whey, casein, soy, pea, rice, and hemp, and comes in different forms such as powder, bars, and ready-to-drink shakes.

Protein is an essential nutrient that is important for the growth and repair of cells, tissues, and organs in the body. It is also important for building and maintaining muscle mass and can help with weight management by reducing hunger and promoting feelings of fullness.
