CaliBar Crispy Protein Bar | Combo Pack of 12 | Banana Binge & Berry Almond Protein Bars  (12 No, Banana Binge & Berry Almond)

A protein supplement is a concentrated source of protein, typically in powder form, derived from various sources like whey, casein, soy, pea, or rice, designed to augment dietary protein intake for individuals, particularly athletes, bodybuilders, and those with specific nutritional goals. Its primary function is to support muscle growth and repair, facilitate post-workout recovery, aid in weight management by promoting satiety, and contribute to overall health by ensuring adequate protein consumption, which is vital for numerous bodily functions including enzyme production, hormone regulation, and immune system strength. These supplements are often rich in essential amino acids, including BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids), crucial for protein synthesis, and come in various formulations like isolates for higher purity and faster absorption, or concentrates offering a more balanced nutrient profile. Available in a wide array of flavors and designed for easy mixability with liquids, protein supplements provide a convenient and efficient way to meet daily protein requirements, especially when whole food sources are insufficient or impractical, making them a popular choice for enhancing athletic performance, body composition, and general well-being.
