Benefits of the product: 1. Proteins play a major role in ensuring your health and well being. The primary functions of the proteins in the body include building and repairing of body tissues, regulation of body processes and formation of enzymes and hormones. There is therefore a constant breakdown of proteins in the body and this explains the need for high biologic value protein
