The Benefits and Mystery of Protein


The Benefits and Mystery of Protein - Part 3


This video focuses on 3 more key functions of protein in the body.:

  1. How proteins are used to make Hormones, thereby playing a major role in the Endocrine system.
  2. The role of proteins in the Nervous system as Neurotransmitters.
  3. The roles of protein in the Immune system.


Proteins are one of the macronutrients consumed in food. The body also has the ability to make most proteins and amino acids, however, the essential amino acids are an exception. They must be provided by the diet regularly.

Learn how important protein is to so many vital functions. Many people just think of protein in terms of its muscle building and tissue repair properties but there's SO MUCH more to it.
