    GlossaryProtein Intake (protein diet)

    amount of protein consumed through one's diet

    Protein intake refers to the amount of protein consumed through one's diet. Proteins are essential macronutrients that play a crucial role in building and repairing tissues, producing enzymes and hormones, and supporting overall bodily functions. Adequate protein intake is vital for maintaining muscle mass, especially in active individuals and the elderly, and can also impact hair health, as proteins like keratin are fundamental components of hair structure.
